Some utter BS on the Hoffman Board about how this is a lesser title to be avoided. Rubbish - it is excellent. Anyone in the US who got one at $5 from Acoustic Sounds has got a steal.

Jazz related threads there can be pure comedy. Hot takes and asinine commentary galore

Now spinning:

Red Norvo Combo - Vibes a la Red (Famous Door, 1975)

Got this excellent French pressing in the mail yesterday. How I love this session. Most of the musicians are pretty obscure but they know how to swing. Original and playful compositions. Pity that Parker was such a troubled person. His tone on the baritone is very powerful! I like Bill Swindell too by the way. 

Actually I don´t know nothing about Leo Parker´s live but I heard all his stuff on the good old Savoy albums, with Tadd, Fats, Dexter and so on. 
It seems that he was not very active in the 50´s. 
I also like his other album for BN "Rollin´ with Leo". Obscure musicians yeah. This is quite unusual for BN. I would have preferred some from the house musicians of BN. Yeah, they swing, but it could be more, better sounding bass and better drummer.....

The second is a favourite but don't know the first one. Seems daft to ask if it's any good as I haven't yet been disappointed by a GH album

Finally my favorite Hutch on vinyl. Just couldn’t resist the temptation.

It's every bit as good as you'd expect. The album features a larger ensemble than the LP from the Berlin Jazzfest. The highlight is Hampel's "Waltz for 11 Universes in a Corridor" -- a terrific, mesmerizing cut.

Ain’t that the truth. Plus the way some of the posters constantly refer to the artists by first name e.g. ‘Stanley’, as if they are an old personal friend. Plus the diversions into obscurities such as cycle runs in St Louis. Pure comedy, zero information.

Interesting, thanks. I can take "terrific, mesmerising"

Nope - never collected Moers vinyl, haven't had a turntable in 20+ years. 😥

The Lobero records are so incredibly good. This one was mastered by Kevin Gray and sounds sublime. Looking forward to that new Tapscott record.
