What music did you buy today?

[niels]

No 'vacation pay' here but I did order the Delius/Brice/Sanders yesterday as well. That Nuts album is strong

Yes, I'm really excited for that (Delius/Brice/Sanders) album! I loved Brice's Immune to Clockwork album from last year on Multikulti and still play that one quite a lot, and really like the Brice/Sanders combo in the Riverloam trio with Trzaska.

In the Netherlands, May is traditionally the month workers get paid their "vacation money" (I don't know if this concept is known outside of the Netherlands?),]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

no.

But Creole Gardens is fantastic. I listened earlier this week. Will need to grab the Brice you showed.

And erwbol, the Braxton is top notch! Great Gerry Hemingway on there, and I love Brax's notes.

Yes, and that is on top of the payed vacation off-time US citizens sadly don't get either.

PS Even the unemployed and disabled get this "vacation money" (a fixed percentage of their income).

I need to remind myself to get some of these. Clockwork plus the new trio recording with Delius, Brice and Sanders will be a start

[HutchFan]

Went ahead and got that new-ish Ryan Truesdell Gil Evans Project live album...wanting to get high on that writing again, just in a little different way.

Anybody else picked up on this yet? Really hoping there's at least as much writing as soloing....

No, but they are at Jazz Standard in New York this Thursday to Sunday, which I'm sure would be fun to hear.

The Gil Evans Project directed by Ryan Truesdell

In April 2011, jazz scholar and conductor Ryan Truesdell thrilled a packed Jazz Standard as he lead a star–studded big band through a breathtaking performance of music from composer/arranger Gil Evans’ 1961 album Out Of The Cool. In the spring of 2012, a century after Evans’ birth in Toronto, Ryan and the Gil Evans Project returned to our stage to celebrate their new ArtistShare CD Centennial, featuring previously unrecorded Evans compositions and arrangements. Voted Record Of The Year by the Jazz Journalists Association, this album won the GRAMMY Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement (for the track “How About You”) and also was nominated for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album and Best Arrange­ment featuring a Vocalist (“Look To The Rainbow,” with Luciana Souza). The New York Times called Centennial “an extraordinary album,” while AllAboutJazz.com hailed “a US national treasure that de­serves a place in the Smithsonian Institute and every jazz record library.” For this return engagement, Ryan Truesdell and the Gil Evans Project release their new live record, Color Lines, which was recorded just a year ago on our stage – make your reservations now!

Ryan Truesdell – Director

Steve Wilson, Dave Pietro, Donny McCaslin, Tom Christensen, Alden Banta, Steve Kenyon – Reeds

Adam Unsworth, David Peel – French Horn

Augie Haas, Tony Kadleck, Scott Wendholt (5/14), Mike Rodriguez (5/15-17) – Trumpets

Ryan Keberle, Tim Albright (5/14), Marshall Gilkes (5/15-17), George Flynn (bass trombone) – Trombones

Marcus Rojas – Tuba

Wendy Gilles – Vocals

Lois Martin – Viola

James Chirillo – Guitar

Frank Kimbrough – Piano

Jay Anderson – Bass

Lewis Nash – Drums

Mike Truesdell – Percussion

I saw these guys last night. It was a great show.

IMHO, top solo honors went to Marshall Gilkes for terrific trombone work on "Time of the Barracudas."

Ordered the Bud Powell Trio Roost album. Expected back in stock in 2-4 weeks from Amazon Japan, but i'm happy to wait.

I ended up cancelling the above order: a couple of weeks in the listing on the main site changed to that status where it looks like it'll never be back in stock and there were other things that i needed the money for anyway. Was pleasantly surprised to see it back in stock while browsing last night: re-ordered, so stoked. Edited May 16, 2015 by xybert

I believe it's not speed corrected unlike the BN box that was.

Dang. I actually have a lossless copy of the BN box that i ripped from the library years ago so it'll be interesting to compare.

I have a Japanese disc from 2006 (TOCJ-6806) and the track times do not correspond with those of the BN box. I think the sound is pretty off-putting.

Here's a link to the one i'm getting, not sure if you can tell anything from it. Looks to have been released in 2010:

I believe your copy is TOCJ-50040.

[paul secor]

Anyone know if the Bud Roost recordings on Japanese LP are speed corrected?

[erwbol]

Anyone know if the Bud Roost recordings on Japanese LP are speed corrected?

The track times on these two Japanese LPs correspond closely to the times of the FLAC tracks from the BN box I have on my hard drive, unlike the Japanese CD I own.

Japanese LP 1

Japanese LP 2

The Japanese CD from 2006 is also too loud for my taste. It highlights the deficiencies of the original recording.

[xybert]

I believe your copy is TOCJ-50040.

Thanks erwbol. I'll report back once i've received it and compared it to the BN box for anyone that's interested.

[xybert]

Received my copy of Bud Powell Trio (TOCJ-50040) today. It's hard for me to differentiate as the mastering is clearly louder which can be confused for higher pitched, but i believe that it hasn't been pitch corrected. There's not a huge difference though (to my ears, musicians and/or people with perfect pitch may beg to differ). For your listening pleasure, i've uploaded a back to back comparison. The version from the BN/Roost box starts at approximately 2:47.

EDIT: I've now deleted the video from Youtube.

Picked up at his concert a few nights ago....it's a grower.

Kashmere Stage Band - Texas Thunder Soul: 1968-1974 [Deluxe Edition, 2-CD/1 DVD]

Has anyone purchased anything from Disc-O-Rama Overstock.com? I've never heard of them before but I discovered they were selling this for $10.99. When I put it in my cart, I noticed that they applied a $5 discount and the shipping was free so I only paid $5.99. (It was listed as new, factory sealed.) That's a pretty nice deal! I hope they're a dependable seller and that this pans out.

Sonny Rollins - The Solo Album

jcam, let me know how you go with that one if you get a chance. Have come close to picking it up a couple of times but it gets mixed reviews. A solo Sonny disc is mighty tempting.

[Justin V]

Brian Lynch is having a sale on his Hollistic MusicWorks site, with CDs 50% off and downloads very reasonably priced. I purchased:

The Questioned Answer album features Emmet Cohen, Boris Kozlov and Billy Hart, while the download album of extra tracks has Lynch and Cohen performing as a duo. The Combinations: Live at the Jazz Estate album is a collaboration between Lynch and a group based in his hometown of Milwaukee. I'm excited to hear all of it.

According to the board it's a dud, dude.
