It’s worth a try but in the imo one should drink it as one like it best I have got quite a few but I am unable to keep up my glasses with all of the different brands I like if o haven’t got it I take one that has the same shape that’s what it’s all about of course

That’s how it should be poured Mark check out google images and the Duvel website. The foam has much taste itself and the combination of a little of that with some of the beer is very nice. And it’s actually gone pretty soon….

The final combo for this day. Will leave coming Thursday for a 2 day trip to Ieper, Belgium with our graduating classes. So a Belgian classic beer, a book on WWI plus some Wayne Shorter in the background. What a horrible war that was. Hope it will make my students realize they grow up in a pretty good time.

Thanks guys! Added in Spotify

With classical music I tend to like solo piano stuff most. I love Chopin, enjoy Debussy and of course Erik Satie. Not very strange as he was an inspirator for Mal Waldron. Also into Philip Glass. So I am looking more for this kind of music. I would describe it as dark, moody, melancholic and with deep emotioneel feel. Also a bit minimalistic. My wife calls it depressing but she has no taste in music (better taste in men of course). I'd say this composition by Satie has it all: Any listening tips to continue the journey and make my wife feel more depressed?

Experienced now. Pretty good from someone only 33 years old. Not sure what I am experienced in though

i still have mixed feelings about Ware. On one hand I dig him and enjoy the music. On the other hand his music seems a little directionless or something like that. After half an hour I find it quite a tiresome listen. Anyone who (dis)agree?

Can't wait to recieve that package in March! That's a lot of great music and the waiting makes it even more exciting

Welcome back Larry. Whatever happened to you, glad you're ok!

SO how are you guys doing out there in the States? Was in the news over here that temperatures are getting pretty low this weekend?

Yes thats an excellent record. And your TP remark is definitely true. But it's not TP so certain people will never listen to it.... in fact they rather listen to a very average Blue Note record than to any great jazz record that is not on Blue Note. Or in a any of the other audiophile series. Their loss...

I could only confirm Niko. Same here. Lot of my students and collegues are sick too. We've had worse here at home. 2022 was the year we got stomach flu (is that what you call vomit bug?) three times which is medically seen almost impossible. First time it was me, my eldest and my youngest. My wife was safe. Second time it was my wife and my eldest and the third time it was me, my wife and my youngest.... plus my parents in law! They all started with one of the kids. Nice present from day care....

All ordered at the same time with this but thanks 🙏 one is still on its way and the other arrived yesterday. Oh yeah it’s great! Love the little solo saxophone piece as well. I am unable to pick a true favorite out of this Harper period but if I’d really had to it probably be Knowledge of Self. Since 2014 we’ve got our own vinyl dealer here in the town of Heemskerk (pop. 40.000). Always happy to support him I decided to bring him a stack of cds to sell ( some Foo Fighters, RHCP, Deftones, Neil Young and more). I still listen to those guys but Spotify is enough for me with the music that I listen to sporadically. He was happy with them. Then I started digging trough the 3 jazz crates he has. Mostly there’s nothing in it which isn’t very strange for such a small shop. Then I started digging trough the crates and stumbled on this 1975 Italian pressing. As I wanted to pay he told me to leave that and gave it for free. Extremely happy with it. He warned me about Italian pressing's from the 1970’s: they were like Italian cars from the same era. Lovely to look at but crappy quality but it sounds fine. So does my Italian Prestige Pressing of Gary Bartz recording I’ve Known Rivers

Billy Harper - Soran Bushi B.H.

I became aware of this Hubbard record trough this forum so thanks guys. Big Hubbard, Henderson and Hutch fan but never noticed it for the almost 20 years I am listening to jazz now. But better late than never. Damn I wish I was there.

Yes it’s a lovely ride. That deep voice and the funny things he’s sayin: makes you want to be right there in that club. I must say I don’t skip those tracks with Deasy either. Except for Benny Hen which is just silly.

still have mixed feelings about it this record. It contains some of my favorite Cannonball (the title track is amazing). The very average and cliche guitarist Mike Deasy spoils some of the tracks with his boring rock n roll playing. If he was not there that night this would have been one of Cannonballs best live dates. I still love it for all the tracks without Deasy. Cannonball surely had some soul!
