The Messthetics are described as "Washington DC’s experimental jazz punk trio". I don't think I'd go that far but whatever it is, it's not for me.
I love the cover - classic Impulse. Music, not sure yet. Thanks for the link.

I've noticed a couple of releases from Impulse on Bandcamp. What's up with that? (I'm not complaining.)
Impulse (as a search term) doesn’t seem to bring back any albums. Would you share some examples of what you saw? Thanks!!

Well done!
Hoping to see it in a theater. Several nearby show a lot of music releases, so there's an excellent chance.
Yes!!

Love the dissonant comping -- as much as I've never hugely connected with Horace records, hearing him at his height is really a gas.
Which one are you referring to? Thanks

Offered for sale is a great (and pretty rare) Mosaic Select:
Mosaic Select: Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band
(3 CD, Mosaic Select, 2008)
Limited Edition of 5,000 sets.
This is a nice copy. I would rate the slipcase as VG+ due to the usual minor shelf wear to slipcase corners (quite common on the thin cardboard Mosaic Select slipcases), some slight rubbing to upper front panel of slipcase, and a small, perhaps 1/4", rubbed area to lower right corner of lower spine of slipcase due to what appears to be a price sticker removal as it still has a very small edge of price sticker present there. Jewel cases and CDs are all in excellent condition. Booklet is in nice condition save for a small (approx. 1") crease to top of rear cover of booklet.
There are only a few copies for sale on discogs and the lowest current price on discogs is $90. I will offer it here for $11 lower than the lowest discogs price (see discogs link below).
$79 + $6 media mail shipping (I will cover postal insurance). Payment by pay pal friends/family.

I had most of these on vinyl and bought this set anyway. Lovely music ...

Looks like the same photo as his album on Timeless with the Tone Jansa Quartet. Maybe makes sense given the Timeless connection discussed above. I also like the looks of it, like the bluish tint.

I second that, i.e., a good way to search CD Japan for this series and others. I have never quite figured it out.

I assume this counts as madness but since I’m not one to go after original pressings this may or may not be crazy but an original pressing of Blue Train sold yesterday for $12,600.
Seller was Jazz Record Center in NY. They seem to get the best of the very best, not that I am ever a bidder. Fun to see some of these nicer copies.

I need to make a point to listen - this looks fantastic - thanks for posting.

How come Kyoto has always been so hidden compared to the other two Riversides? This befuddles me.
Looking at the release calendar, Caravan came out in 1962, Ugetsu in 1963, but this one not until 1966. Maybe due to the demise of Riverside, maybe lost in the shuffle, lack of critical exposure, etc.? For me, both Kyoto and Ugetsu rank about Caravan.

That's a good point, but if you want a new vinyl copy of the more common titles, what super-duper versions are in print right now? I guess what I'm saying is that I'd like to see them do the Tone Poet treatment for their whole catalogue from the 1950s and 1960s.
Most of the popular titles are in print in the Classic series which runs concurrently with the Tone Poet series. So best of both worlds, I think.

Never heard of him but very pleased to make the acquaintance. I'll look to track it down. Thanks for the introduction.
Edit to add:now purchased, very pleasantly surprised to find a cheap UK copy for sale
👍 I have his other two on Delmark, but like this one the best.

I would never have picked your track as being recorded in the 90s. Wow. I missed which track you selected though...which one was it?
Track 6, "Try To, If You Can" (this is from the Rich Corpolongo CD, "Just Found Joy" on Delmark)

I like the Tone Poet series. The quality is very good and I just pick out the albums I really love as it's nice to have them in vinyl with the larger cover art.
Blue Notes does seem though to be in a bit of a logical conundrum. The Tone Poet series tends to focus more on more obscure releases, the kinds of titles that used to come out in the Connoisseur Series on CD. Meanwhile, they also have the Classic Vinyl series, which is good but doesn't have as much artwork. So they are doing nicer releases for the obscure stuff, and more ordinary releases for the most popular items in the BN catalog. Kind of seems backwards from what you might want.I rather prefer it this way. I don't need yet another super-duper version of Moanin' or The Sidewinder. But Katanga (Curtis Amy) or Dance With Death (Andrew Hill), bring it on. They are doing a number of the Japan-first, Rainbow-later titles with cool artwork.

Eric Track:
Not sure how I originally stumbled on to this, maybe because it is on Delmark. I have always loved this lp, it has juice.
He is a Chicago guy and still on the scene, I believe.

I think Don Was is doing well with BN: high quality product both new and reissued, and they work the hype to get attention for their product without being too over the top. I might or might not be interested in whatever Wayne might be forthcoming.
I agree with this sentiment.

I would like Bud Plays Bird, it has some great moments, but there is two things that I had observed.
First of all, there is some tunes Bud never played, and it seems that the label had given him sheets for Bb-instruments, which is especially true on typical Bb tunes, if Bud plays them in C.
Though there are great moments, it does not really catch the spirit of Bird or of Bop in general. Art Taylor seems to be on autopilot, you don´t hear interesting drum patterns, and even if the bass is ok, if a drummer is not doin his stuff, there aint much left for me to listen.....Another point: Did you hear the Bud album where at least a half album ist done with Curtis Fuller ?
I like the Fuller tracks very much, but almost hate the side with the trio tracks only. It´s really some boring stuff, a slow blues but not as strong as another blues on another album, some workman type medium tempo stuff, where Bud completly f...cks up the bass solos by Paul Chambers.
You can comp a bit for the bassist when he soloes, but here it sounds like Bud want´s to destroy Paul Chambers´ solos. And the worst thing is a faster tune based on "Strike Up the Band".....but it is not even a tune, it is just runnin´ on that changes without any theme and it´s a wild cacophony, since nothing seems to work out ......Thanks for all the critical analysis Gheorghe. I am curious as to what post-1958 Bud you find interesting.

Pulled out the Ron Carter "Where" session last weekend. Not an everyday listen, but for the most part, I enjoyed it.

Interesting article, he really strikes me as a great guy to be running the label. I like many of the young artists on their roster. The reissues are pretty cool too - the Tone Poets in particular are gorgeous and the are doing some obscure titles this year, which is fun.

I think the bottom line is that most Bud Powell is very good. If he hadn't made those incredibly brilliant recordings around 1950, we would be able to listen to almost his whole discography with great enjoyment, and without having to think "decline?, decline!, decline?..."
Later Bud Powell is highly enjoyable if taken for what it is, and not as being in some life or death competition with what came earlier.
Yes, yes yes! Recently been digging The Scene Changes (BN) and Bud Powell in Paris (Reprise). Swinging, fun albums and a bunch of his compositions on the former.

He had an immense impact on my love of jazz since the early '80s. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and his friends here.
