My limited experience with DeSoto records has been entirely positive. They're now a "buy on sight" label.

You can still get some of those "American Composer Series" boxsets for real cheap!
I bought the 4-LP Ives Piano one in the NTSU bookstore back in the day.

The cold is back after a warm (if wet) yesterday. We had a fun outdoor “protest” event yesterday, today we travel a few hours to visit one of Lucinda’s sister and brother-in-law for a holiday meal.

Starting off with Out Of/Into “Motion I” a really nice gathering of Blue Note “young lions” that I have been enjoying since its release.

Bertha Hope sounds very good. The entire albums is a nice one, but not outstanding.

Now listening to:

Charles Mingus “The Clown” Atlantic/Analogue Productions SACD

An excellent sounding edition of this fantastic album. I love all the work this group did. . .the front line is just glorious.

That mix is probably as good as it will be, unfortunately. There's an interesting writeup on all this in the new Wheeler biography (excellent). It was an early 8-track desk and there was strange placement of players and lots of bleed-through between tracks (Oxley in particular). The first mix was a disaster so Kenny brought Bob Cornford in to rework it, which did miracles apparently. From recollection the Incus LP mix has the same issues.

Interesting! It does get better after the first couple of tracks though. I must get that Wheeler book.
