    Good point. I forgot about that one but relied on the Blue Note website. 🤣

    “We’d like for you all to help us get in the groove, let your hair down, and come on and get in the music with us,” says Horace Silver in the spoken introduction to Doin’ The Thing, the only live album the great pianist made during his remarkable 3-decade tenure on Blue Note Records.

    it may be time for me to revisit Ran. I just never warmed to his playing, I tended to admire it without liking it. When I listen I always find myself waiting for something to happen. But I am an impatient listener, so I cannot say that is my final verdict.

    can understand this for sure. I do have a soft spot for the ESP, RCA-Victor (w/ Lee), and Milestone albums though.

    I'm kind of in the same boat. Have three albums. Enjoy "Short life of Barbara Monk" and "Silver is blue", but don't pull them off the shelf often. Liked "Memories of Vienna" on first hearing but considerably less on subsequent listens.

    Opinion subject to revision/reassessment, so I'll put those recordings in the queue.

    My experience is based on German language forums, perhaps the general attitude is different in English language forums. Would you post links to these?

    Yes, it is a wide and diverse area of music, I can relate to that. Without my decades of listening and learning I would be lost.

    The classical forum I visit (on and off) is Good Music Guide, https://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php

    There's a group of (seemingly mostly) European posters who are harpsichord enthusiasts, and harpsichord interpretations generally get more focus than piano. They just alerted me to Suzuki's recent release of Die Kunst der Fuge on BIS, which I auditioned and am going to buy. There are plenty of harpsichord threads with dozens of pages of posts.

    Another great new release, a reissue of Jessica Williams “Orgonomic Music” on Modern Harmonic cd.

    Ditto.

    not a big Jarrett fan but this [Koln Concert] was one I could appreciate. But listening to it now it annoys me as well. I put it off after 20 minutes. Probably blasphemy to some folks but it just doesn’t work out between Jarret and me.

    I was once deeply into the Koln Concert and La Scala albums, but tired after a certain number of listens and sold them. I still have a number of Jarrett releases, but they're not in "heavy rotation".

    RIP. Sad news, not sure how I missed the update but likely because didn't see it for a long time because I only have the "Music Discussion" bookmarked. I feared an illness or worse.

    Kind, knowledgeable and generous fellow, real asset to this online community.

    My experienc with classical forums is that they are dominated by music lovers that prefer performances on modern piano and know little about harpsichord performance or are even opposed to it.

    Okay, I will try to do my best and explain some about the history of the instrument and the approaches to intrerpreting the music. It's a complex but intriguing subject.

    My experience is the opposite. On the classical forum I visit, there is significantly more detailed discussion of (esp.) HIP harpsichord performances than piano equivalents.

    In fact, I've found the volume and diversity of commendable (and prolific) modern harpsichord artists so intimidating that I haven't investigated in depth.

  22. British jazz reissues

    This just appeared. Don't know if it counts as jazz, maybe "jazz-rock". I'd be tempted, but have recently spent too much on other things.

    Blurb courtesy DG (which one might have guessed 😉 )

    A landmark batch of work from the British jazz scene – the complete early run of recordings from Colosseum, maybe the greatest jazz-rock group of their time! The combo grew out of earlier work in the beat group generation – informed strongly by American jazz and R&B, but already on the forefront of the new prog generation – driven by the mighty drums of Jon Hiseman and topped with the sax and reed work of Dick Heckstall-Smith – both fantastic players who really gave the group their grounding! The lineup shifts a bit throughout this set, and maybe gets even better as the records go on – with later work from Chris Farlowe on vocals, whose soulful style is a perfect match to the groove-heavy sound of the group. Back in the days when we didn't like prog at all, and were more focused on jazz and funk, we still had a very soft spot for Colosseum – and it's no surprise that some of these records are always found in the collections of funk fanatics around the world. The 6CD set features the full albums Those About To Die Salute You, Valentyne Suite, Grass Is Greener, Daughter Of Time, and Colosseum Live – almost all of which are presented here with bonus tracks – alongside a full bonus CD of rare studio and live recordings too! There's also a huge booklet of notes – and this package is the comprehensive take on this legendary group.

  23. Ted Daniel Quintet - Tapestry

    Ujamaa is Ted's own label. I'm sure the source tapes aren't always pristine. The extra tracks on Sextet make it a worthwhile pickup, in addition to the original LP (which is still reasonably priced according to Discogs).

    I have the Sun LP of Tapestry and the sound is far from crisp, but it is a very cool record.

    Yes, Sextet is very good despite rather distant sound quality due to source tapes. The Loft Years impresses me less despite high expectations, but I'll spin it again soon. Probably should pick up the Solo...Italy album but some other things took priority recently.

    In the Beginning is good if you can find it. Ted Daniel is on some recommendable "Andrew Cyrille's Maono" albums.
