Second time you've mentioned this in a positive way and you just made me order it My selections would be: Byard Lancaster - Complete Palm Recordings Pharoah Sanders - Pharoah Woody Shaw - Complete Columbia Albums I wanted to mention those great Coltrane Prestige boxes but they are pre 2010 I see now

Just one question comes to mind. Why?

Just overall bad quality of the sound and the backing instruments sound way too low in the mix. But you’re post confirms that’s its probably the streaming quality of the files on Spotify and not in the record itself. I have even stumbled on a track that skipped multiple times on Spotify a few months okay so it’s an occuring problem and probably the reason some people choose Tidal or Qobuz

My thoughts exactly and most of the tracks are studio material. I thought maybe someone round here could confirm

I was streaming this on Spotify and though I was enjoying the music a lot I was really annoyed by the bad sq. Was this recorded so badly or is this one of those Spotify mistakes? Anyone with the cd here to check?

There’s nothing wrong with trying to get the best sound possible out of you’re speakers. In that extent I might be an audiophile too. I think the disdain is more directed at those more concerned with the sq than the actual music. And I don’t see you as one where that might be the case jazzbo 👍

I saw him with Anouar Brahem this year and it was magic. Same goes for his attributions to Brahems new album.

Yeah I definitely agree. In my memory at least the tracks were complete where with the Shepp release they even cut them off. That really prevented me from getting it because that’s also a very interesting session.

That’s not bol.com using those photographs this is the actual artwork used by the label…. I’ve got a part of this session on the Disques Transversales label which was legitimate and from the tapes. It’s one of my favorite Pharoah Sanders sessions so curious to hear the rest but if this is a bootleg I”ll pass.

So is up for pre order on a Dutch website https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/pharoah-sanders-love-is-here-the-complete-paris-1975-ortf-recordings/9300000234054068/?bltgh=qLCFn-x5dVVkL-C6ZxxA0Q.i70GoxRfH3UDXsHI0iBGNw_0_9.13.ProductPageUrl Doesn’t look legit to me. Any idea if it could be?

such a great band. I especially find the combination of Davis/Waldron/Woode a very strong one. Part from the Benedictine Monastery record they must have recorded more those days. Still hoping for new records to be issued…. Probably the only music for today. It’s gonna be a lovely 30/86 degree day here

In the city of Gent I saw boxes with LP’s outside in full bright sunlight at 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit)….

Great haul!!! Now spend the rest of your salary at DG

Rest in peace.

i use ChatGPT mainly to alleviate the annoying and boring aspects of my work. in education we have to justify a lot of things in writing. the mountain of policy documents keeps growing and although you are obliged to have it all on paper, there is not a soul who reads it... it is mind-numbing and demotivating. because I am half in front of the class and half in management as a department head, it takes up an even larger part of my work. in this area AI is real and a godsend. it produces high-quality documents, can critically review and test them and gives good instructions in areas that I know less about. it really saves me hours of work that I can now put into my lessons and students. in addition, I notice that ChatGPT can search much more efficiently and specifically than a search engine. another way I use it is to clear up difficult passages in philosophy books I read. For exception now with Hegels book, it provides excellent explanations and summary’s which make me able to check if I actually understood what I’ve read. it could also be very useful with jazz music. You could ask for 10 albums where Evan Parker plays solo saxophone or on which albums a specific jazz musician played with another. of course I realize that ChatGPT makes mistakes. when I asked as a trick question whether Charlie Parker and Coltrane had ever made a recording together, he replied that they had indeed 🫣

Yes definitely a:

Yeah cant get much cooler than this… well there’s always Superfly of course 😇

Kant could be tough but Hegel is definitely more complicated. I read in Dutch and I think reading it in another language than my first will make it even more complicated 😉 but I don’t mind. Just means I will get slower trough it and leave it aside on those evenings when I am tired or unfocused. Got his biography for those evenings which is very fun to read and gives his other book more context.
