If you’re ever in Charleston, S.C., Record Stop is a worthy destination. They have a huge jazz selection.

This was my one buy yesterday, a Mingus record I wasn’t familiar with. Hampton Hawes? Hell yes.

Question:

Whenever I try to attach a pic I get messages saying the file is too large. I tried using a file compressing app, but that doesn’t solve the problem. Am I missing something? 

[Great Finds]

I was in half-price books yesterday. I rarely find anything special. This was different.
I found an original pressing of Fantastic Frank Strozier, his first leader date (Veejay)

w/ Booker Little, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb. In very good condition. A steal @ $9.95

[Essential John Gilmore?]

Has the Gilmore catalogue been discussed in this forum before?

One of the three from the label I have. Along with Bley's Axis also solo

Easily one of my favorite Bley dates, and the first one I bought years ago.

Wish I still had that.

I would love to have more Improvising Artists LPs in my collection.

edited: I didn't realize till now that this LP was recorded in Seattle

[Grandfathering success!]

in 1990 My daughter was born at home (w/ the assistance of midwives). I had two records ready to play after the birth. The first was Keith Jarrett's My Song. The second one was Coltrane's Ballads LP.

[Gary Peacock R.I.P.]

I hope the reports are false.

I just don't get the motive for someone to start a hoax story of a jazz musician's death.

I have been exploring Videos of Bud Powell in performance. There is so much out there. Loving it.

I’ve heard of those. Is that like a wet vac?

Not necessarily. You hook up whatever vac you have to the unit, using the adapter hose.

Here is a link to the company and the cleaner. (KAB EV1)

I have just one Solal LP. Martial Solal Big Band

 

[BYG records...tracking problems?]

Do BYG records have a reputation for skipping? I have two Grachan Moncur III LPs on the label. With a naked eye the vinyl looks impeccable. And the records aren't warped at all.

Yet they will not play without skipping. 

Frustrating to say the least.

By record cleaner, do you mean a Spin Clean or a vacuum device?

I bought a non electric cleaner that attaches to a vacuum.

I confess, I am late coming around to Lou Donaldson. I don't know why it took so long for me to appreciate him. Better late than never!
