You can hear the VOA with Willis Conover again today from here https://mailchi.mp/library/news-from-the-unt-libraries-2-27-2020?e=6b0f138efb They have a lot of material in their archive -
Foundational.

Listening now, great performance from all and in terrific sound quality. Lloyd shines. I hadn't enjoyed the previous Blue Notes as much as his ECM output but this is right up there.

Thank you all my friends. She is doing well.

Late to this but glad to hear it went well. Brad. -
If you do buy one or both do be prepared for the PayPal shenanigans mentioned in the other thread about them. It may be worth contacting HJ in advance and arranging to PayPal the funds directly rather than through their basket.

Thanks for that ! Shame these aren’t on CD - would prefer that if the audio quality is compromised.

'Duo Exchange', absolutely. 'Live At Slugs' dependent on your threshold for bootleg quality live recordings - I tend to find these can add to the enjoyment and this is a case in point. But if you're bothered by distant pianos (except when soloing - it's almost as if someone's moving the mic closer!), overly prominent drummers and horns fading in and out then don't go near it. To me it sounds like a live recording ESP rejected on the grounds of SQ . The music's terrific in most parts, warts 'n' all. Nicely packaged. Listening now to the new Charles Lloyd live recording '8', the polar opposite in SQ, gorgeous quality and beautiful music What do you make of 'Legwork' Hutchfan? I've not heard it and didn't realise it was recorded at the same time until I read your blog, so now I'm tempted.

Good to see Gemini getting some love! -
I regularly imported CDs from Japan for my own collection and "32XD" meant that the list price was 3200 yen, not 32,000; likewise, 55XD meant 5500 yen, not 55,000 - a not insignificant difference

I notice HJ’s have got it in stock, along with the ‘Duo Exchange’. Do you recommend them?

Playing Favorites: Reflections on Jazz of the Later 1940's
Big Beat Steve replied to BillF's topic in Miscellaneous Music
My mistake, sorry. He certainly WAS a character, and his radio shows spinning all that 20s and 30s or 40s dance bands, singers and semi-jazz (but often outright jazz too) made you aware of a lot of artists that you had never heard of before and later knew better where to place them when you came across them in the record stalls. Budding collectors learnt a lot there. Only his "Frenchized" pronounciation of those U.S. artists' names sometimes was a tough nut to crack (particularly at his talking speed ). It took me a while to figure out, for example, that that "Abbé Le Mans" band leader he was talking about actually was Abe Lyman! Same here. Even in the 70s and 80s this WAS an issue, particularly if you tried to catch relatively far away stations on AM and long wave radio that had interesting music shows. Made me quite tolerant of the fidelity of not quite so pristine 78s.
