Bluesnik Posted March 10, 2021 Report Posted March 10, 2021 The other day I was rereading a thread about Hiroshi. And I think I got that from him. And what a beauty it is. With Nick Stabulas, by the way. And Zoot Sims and Phil Woods. Quote
Rabshakeh Posted March 10, 2021 Report Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Currently have The Secret Between The Shadow and The Soul (Okeh, 2019) by The Branford Marsalis Quartet on. It’s... not very good. It’s going off. Edited March 10, 2021 by Rabshakeh Quote

That pisses me off like few other things, put a record on, can't even give one fair shake to get done with itself. Quote

And damn it sound so good in this issue! There are more Candid releases from Solid Records released today; I have another shipment from cdJapan on the way to me. I am surprised to hear about the good sound quality of these. I had some Solid / Ultra Vybe reissues (this one form 2017, for example: https://www.discogs.com/Max-Roach-Award-Winning-Drummer/release/11446989 ) and they were just horrible, without exaggeration the worst sounding modern reissues I have heard. Unbearable pumped-up bass, tinnitus-inducing cymbals, all extremely loud. Have they become better or are they the same as before? Quote
jazzbo Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) I haven't heard that particular earlier reissue from Japan. These do not sound the way you describe. The majority of them are mono mixes as well (this particular one has a few stereo tracks). I have been very happy with the ones I have ordered. Edited March 11, 2021 by jazzbo Quote

I might buy a couple to check, they are so cheap anyway. Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 FWIW, the Ultra-Vybe reissue of the Oliver Jackson Trio Feat Percy France - Le Quartet which came out not too long ago has terrific sound. Quote

Collector´s items also very fine. Quote

Yes, Hamilton and Pozza are a great pairing. Here they are with British bassist Andrew Clyndert at my friend Malcolm's house. It was one of the best gigs I've been to at Malcolm's. 14 hours ago, Bluesnik said: Quote
JSngry Posted March 11, 2021 Author Report Posted March 11, 2021 I keep wanting to tell Jon Irabagon to maybe think about taking a breath before he runs out of air, and maybe shaping his ventage with a little conscious direction, but hey, he got the gig, not me, so good for him. Venting is a valid form of musical expression. My problem is that it sounds pretty common when done as this. On the sunny side of the street, though - GREAT to see that Barry Altschul is- and has been for a while - back on the scene. He got a little lost there visibility-wise, but, really, one of the key drummers of his time, how soon we might forget. HE sounds great here. Long may he wave! Ok, second listen, perhaps I am being harsh about Irabagon...but it sounds like there's a secret Michael Brecker down in there that could come out and play if those kids came by and knocked on the door. But ok, he's in it, to be sure, and Altschul is inspired, so all's well then. More Barry Altschul records, please. Quote
HutchFan Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Abdullah Ibrahim - Mantra Mode (Enja, 1991) Originally released on the African Echoes/Sun Records label, this CD features Ibrahim with fellow South African musicians, including Basil "Mannenberg" Coetzee. Wonderful music. Edited March 11, 2021 by HutchFan Quote
Dub Modal Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 This is brilliant stuff, inspired playing and good sound. Quote
