Steve Grossman/Cedar Walton/David Williams/Billy Higgins - Love Is The Thing (Red Records). I forgot I had this one. I was rifling through the LP rack to find something to play and said, "I have a Steve Grossman LP?" Grossman doing his best impersonation of Coltrane at times.

Why did Red Records go with such flimsy card stock for their LP sleeves?

Bassist David Williams is the only one left from this date now. It just doesn't seem that long ago that I was seeing this rhythm section backing Jackie Mac.That either means I'm getting old or senile.

Flora Purim & Airto - Humble People (Concord, 1985)

Probably not unless I wrote my name in small letters on the back. Got in the habit after losing about a hundred lps from my dorm room.

Indeed. Those are DGG recordings. Find any Fricsay Bartok by him you can.

[JSngry]

i am already hunting...finding DG CDs is going to be tough, they're on Discogs from Euro-sellers, which normally is certainly ok, but international pandemic shipping is....uh....forgive me for not jumping right in on that.

My copy of the above was a $4 special, replete with fatal skipping/sticking issues, so, ok, just spent $20 for a NM samething Decca. only gave half a blink or less on that.

There's a nice collection of Fricsay Bartok RIAS CDs, but there's a lot of broadcasts instead of DGs. I'll make my way to both, but right now, I want to re-experience this almost hallucinatory Side 1 "as is" minus the fatal errors of my copy.
