kinuta Posted November 19, 2019 Report Posted November 19, 2019 Thanks for the release update. I've had great difficulty finding any coherent new release information on line. Quote

I know it's shallow but most of these covers are not doing the product any favors. I don't think there is a single one that would induce me to pick up the CD and flip it over to look at the track listing. I truly don't understand the marketing concept, unless it is they are so pure and "just about the music" that they don't pay the least bit of attention to the cover. Quote

It probably has more to do with the economics of running a jazz label these days. Looking at the back cover of the Ronnie Cuber release reveals that Nils Winther not only produced, but also did the mix, mastering, and, yes, the photos. Anyway, these photos and covers are nowhere near as bad as Pablo in its prime. See, for example: At lease Nils Winther springs for color. Quote

Maybe, but there is also a very weird aesthetic going on. However, this takes the cake for the worst cover I've ever seen. Quote

mjzee Posted February 29, 2020 Author Report Posted February 29, 2020 This album is GREAT! Could've been released on Prestige in 1969. Adam Nussbaum, Brian Charette, Ed Cherry...pure pleasure. Quote

jlhoots Posted March 22, 2020 Report Posted March 22, 2020 Some of those new Steeplechase releases look good! Quote
Ken Dryden Posted March 22, 2020 Report Posted March 22, 2020 I just reviewed Chris Byars' new CD, it will be online only in April at http://nycjazzrecord.com. Like all of his earlier work, this one is a strong session. Glad I got to hear this sextet at Smalls last year. Quote
colinmce Posted June 21, 2020 Report Posted June 21, 2020 I received the Ran Blake CD last week, it’s excellent. Highest recommendation! Quote

DG, I was lucky to snag one right away. They will hopefully restock, but in the meantime Amazon is showing it with a 7/17 release date. Not ideal, but something. Quote
mjzee Posted June 21, 2020 Author Report Posted June 21, 2020 I took a chance on the Knuffke; ordered it from DG. Not sure I'll like it, but it looks interesting. Bob Stewart on tuba...I know his work from Arthur Blythe's albums, and aside from the novelty factor, would probably have preferred a bass to his tuba. I assumed it was a friendship thing. We'll see how Knuffke deals with it. Quote
