Misterioso

Wow, that was fast. Unfortunately, we currently do not seem to receive mail from overseas in Australia. Once this changes, I will place my order.

Yes, 2013 release on vinyl.

Coltrane - Complete Sun Ship Session. The first few seconds give me goose bumps every time.

Art Pepper with Warne Marsh (UCCO-5101)

RIP Henry Grimes Going to listen to Tranquility later to honor Henry Grimes and Lee Konitz.

Thank you for your wonderful music and rest in peace. A very sad day.

Same here. The first of the Onkel Poe’s recordings I regret buying. All the other jazz titles from that series are stunning.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here what "ripping" means. Someone like me who rips his CDs to a hard drive, obviously still needs CDs. I just listen to my CDs from a computer, not from a CD player. You can't rip a CD which you don't have. To answer the question, one of the following three always works for me: amazon, discogs, ebay.

US $532.66 I had a shot but was beaten. Hopefully, someone here got it.

Fingers crossed!

Amir ElSaffar / Hafez Modirzadeh - Radif Suite (Pi Recordings,2010)

My deepest sympathy. May they rest in peace.

Completely forgot about this one! I used to go there as well when I lived in London from 2003-04. But mostly went to HMV on Oxford St.

Having lived all my life in Europe and Australia, I never bought directly from them. However, my 1999 Toshiba reissues of the two Monk Genius albums were originally sold by Tower Records, as shown below. I later bought them 2nd hand from a shop in Boston.

Thanks for the link. I found this interesting: "Numbers One and Two introduced the use of a single overhead microphone, which Nessa felt would "get a blend of what the group sounded like." Denon did this 30 years later with many of their classical music recordings (they called it one-point recordings). I have many (all?) of them and like them a lot. Did not know that this technique was used for jazz recordings as well.

Very nice!

Never saw that cover before. My records are reissues from Analogue Production’s “Riverside Tenor” 7LP box set.

Thelonious Sphere Monk tonight

Ordered today, looking forward to it.

Sounds a bit like inner groove distortion, which usually can be mitigated with correct cartridge alignment (overhang).
