The McGregor also led to happy recollections from my Dad of seeing him and various South African musicians okay in the 50s and early 60s. He'd never mentioned seeing McGregor before but immediately identified him by name.

That's special

Pre-ordered from Dusty Groove today, two albums due to be available at the end of January 2024:

Mal Waldron-Terumasa Hino - Reminiscent Suite (Victor JP)
BBE reissue

 

Irakere - Grupo Irakere (Areito/EGREM)
Mr. Bongo reissue

Both albums are long-time favorites, but I've only heard them as MP3 downloads.  The collector in me loves that I will finally have these albums as tangible objects, and the music lover in me can't wait to hear them in higher fidelity!

Disagree. Very interesting landscape/street photos.

ECM does it all the timel.

Obviously this is a matter of personal taste .... but thankfully these cover photos separate themselves from ECM .... and as said the topic "photographies depicting boredom" an interesting topic (to me) ....

The Bill Dixon 'Complete Black Saint and Soul Note' 9CD box. Getting elusive, I procrastinated far too long but miraculously found a new box.

I'm hearing that the sonics on the CD set are a significant improvement on the LPs.

Still scratching my Baden Powell itch:

Baden Powell Quartet, Vol. 3 (Barclay France, 1971)

Looking forward to getting this platter on my turntable.

Stumbled across these on Bandcamp today. They sounded intriguing  and the samples did as well, so I bought them:

Cool! I was hoping that somebody here would have familiarity.

Over-Nite Sensation[50th Anniversary] [4 CD/Blu-ray Audio Boxset]

[rostasi]

Those Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou titles are quite nice.
Around 20 years ago, I picked up some of her work
and would include it in discs I'd made for restaurants - 
some Ethiopian - but didn't think much more about her
until her music started showing up last year on Wal-Mart
commercials. Stunned, I started listening again -
and then she died earlier this year at nearly 100,
so the nun and her piano became a pretty regular thing
around these parts.

Wal-Mart? How did that happen?

3 CDs by Sergio Armaroli

Somehow this sucker eluded me for about 8 years - anxious to hear the sextet session.

I don't know how much of that happens - 
or if there was any compensation, but
there it was in at least one of their ads.

I'm taking some time off from work for the holidays.  So this morning, I drove up to McKay's, a giant music & book store in Chattanooga.  I spent the better part of the day there.  I took my time, looked through a lot of stuff, including their bargain bins.

Here's what I brought home:

22 CDs and 21 LPs.  And the total -- out the door -- was less than $100.

All of the classical LPs were one dollar each (!) -- including those six Philips LPs, all of which are in pristine condition.

The Genesis Wind & Wuthering LP is a Charisma label UK import, also in NM- condition.  W & W is one of my desert-island albums.  I've already got the ATCO US vinyl and the CD.  But I couldn't resist; it was the most expensive title of the day at $10.99.  Reputedly, the Charisma is the best sounding version.  We'll see.

A nice Christmas haul, eh?

Just now finished listening to the first cut.  You're right.  It's fantastic.

I love this band with Stenson, Jormin, and Hart.  I have All My Relations and The Call.  But I'd never gotten 'round to Canto.  Glad I finally got it.
