Sign stealing:

Late career Harold Land with strings worked out well. Hopefully the same will be true for George Coleman!

They keep thinking/hoping it will disappear.

They handled ECM in the US before Warner Brothers.

Well Dan, I hope that ’fuck’ is a flying one. Rafaella’s walk-off HR was sensational, extending the Sox’ winning streak to 8.

A lot of the received wisdom on post-1970 Miles is still really shallow, especially in mainstream jazz discourse

I’m grateful to have these. The press releases aren’t interesting but it’s good to know when stuff comes out

Forgot I had this.

This was mid-late 1879s. No Internet and lots of older, neighborhood record stores that didn't return stock, and you could literally pick an area, look in the Yellow Pages and leisurely walk in and say howdy. LPs at old prices? Howdy! Also, "collectors" were not really out in force then. So finding stuff like this was something you could look forward too, not unlike fishing, just be patient and know where the good spots are. Different world.

Yes, those are the two I return to most as well.

Jazz peeps: Whgaty do you know about the label Polydor It looks like with my skim research on this board, that no thread exists on this label...tell me more. I understand that it seems that Germany and Britian in the early part of the century created Polydor. I want to know in the 60's why they went out jazz, and signed Marion Brown and John McLaughlin among others. Weren't they initally associated with classical, in collaboration with maybe Phillips? What you guys know about Polydor and their jazz program?

Debut, legit, Japanese mini-lp/cd (plus OBI 😊) I picked up at Reckless Records in Chicago, that will replace my current, I don't know where it came from copy: Always thought that looked like Slash's head coming out of that lady's horn 🫠 I like these kind of stories! Get it. Can't tell you how many times I've said "no fucking way!!!" out loud in a record store when I would come across something totally unexpected or a complete surprise. Dizzy Reece's Blues in Trinity Conn edition is one of those outbursts of late.

I found that record without knowing it existed. Talk about a thrill, not just finding something you've never seen, but something you never knew about, period. A major artist on a major(ish) label, WHAAAAAAT?!?!?! One of the many joys of youth!

👌

Ornette, Dewey, Haden and Blackwell. I like it enough to have the original vinyl and the cd.

Thanks!! 😎

That session has been out in various guises over the years. I think it was recorded for a porn soundtrack iirc? But maybe not? https://www.discogs.com/artist/16968-Harlem-Underground-Band

The horns are not always the best-recorded (Ornette considered it an "unauthorized" release). But it's got a good groove. This title cut kills: It's worth having it, if only because that's better than not having it.

Riccardo Muti - The Complete Warner Symphonic Recordings, disc 81.
