It's an X factor thing: Lee is just much warmer and has less of the proto-arts institution feel that I think Mrs R is picking up on. I had to laugh when you mention warbling under a cover photo of "Black Fire". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lovely late summer night feel too, which is definitely not what what I associate with the area. Tippetts I like a lot. Who is Uschi Bruning? I don't know his/her work at all.  Bruning I only know from the three FMP albums she appears on with Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky https://www.discogs.com/artist/3131309-Uschi-Br%C3%BCning-Ernst-Ludwig-Petrowsky  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Stepping back for a moment and making a general observation: I'm glad this forum exists. It's such a great place, with so much collective knowledge and wide-ranging interests. Every nook and cranny of jazz -- and then some! Can't help but learn a TON just by hanging out.  O.K. Carry on.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Viennese bicentennial thing is lost on me... what's that all about? It’s a big European art festival. Well regarded and serious. Really more about the Art than the buyers or tourists. It has lots of performance art and multimedia. I assume my wife meant that it sounds like a recording of a performance art piece, which I guess it does, particularly the bits with the high pitched squeals and the nervous vocal chattering. Obviously Lee preceded the codification and institutionalisation of that style and has a lot more to offer than just that. I think that the comment was meant in the spirit of gentle fun. Like I said, I was allowed to listen to the second side too. 50 minutes ago, HutchFan said: Stepping back for a moment and making a general observation: I'm glad this forum exists. It's such a great place, with so much collective knowledge and wide-ranging interests. Every nook and cranny of jazz -- and then some! Can't help but learn a TON just by hanging out.  O.K. Carry on.    Ditto. Weird things happen on here. Small discussions or posts have a tendency to completely flip my listening habits or open up new areas that I generally hadn’t thought about exploring (most recently, I’ve spent a fortnight listening almost solely to swing music - no way I could have foreseen that).

JSngry Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 I love Jeanne Lee, just the sound of her voice. She moves air in a way that just defies resistance for me. After that, hey whatever, I'm already all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yardbird in Lotusland is most of the first CD of the new "Bird in LA". My favourites from "Spotlite" are the Howard McGhee Machito "Afro Cubop" and the Billy Eckstine. But there were very much: Bird in Sweden (a 2 LP set), Bird in Paris, "Apartment Sessions" "Early Bird" etc..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Jim Hall - Concierto (CTI, 1975) First listen to a new acquisition. I’m actually very disappointed with this on vinyl. It sounds like the tracks are playing out of time. This is not something I ever encountered with the digital versions. Is that a known issue with CTI? Even aside from that, it lacks the close mystery of the CD master, and Ron Carter’s horribly recorded bass is much more prominent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabshakeh Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Now on another new vinyl / old friend: the 1955 DFD / Moore version. Not fashionable any more, but still a version I love and which wasn’t going to turn down when I saw it in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's strange. I have plenty of CTI LPs, and I don't recall any issues like that. (However, I don't have that particular LP on vinyl.)  1 hour ago, Rabshakeh said: Even aside from that, it lacks the close mystery of the CD master, and Ron Carter’s horribly recorded bass is much more prominent.

I bought that LP when it first came out...don't know what you mean about the tracks "playing out of time"? As for Ron Carter, that was how they did it then. CTI records were often used in stereo stores as demo records, in no small part due to that Ron Carter sound. People don't like it so much these days, but back in the day, it was money.
