I wasn't that into it and purged it without a second thought. Now, Eastern Sounds is one of the most desirable jazz albums among a certain set of collectors. I haven't listened to it in decades but part of me would not mind having that old copy just to cash in! Always been a favourite so i guess I must be amongst that "certain set" although do I detect a hint of disapproval of them? I have a slightly noisy copy of this pressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, looks like a nice package. I’ll have to spin my copies of this. I think the Fontana is a factory sample but will have to check. I’ve also got an early OJC and from my recollection that sounds pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) Given it a spin - mono, sounds fine, not a sample. Have to say, I prefer the earlier Savoy and Verve material and the later Impulses. Edited December 14, 2021 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Got the vinyl just before they sell out. It’s noticeably punchier than the CD, so well worth getting hold of. Important issue ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good though the CD is - happy to have both. By staggering the LPs from the CDs, Jazz In Britain are onto a good little earner ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 13 hours ago, sidewinder said: NY Mono, ear Esquire, mono The Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Golden 8 is quite an untypical thing for Blue Note. I got it years ago from my wife , a japanese mini LP cover CD. Very fine, but as I said completly different from the usual BN stuff, first because it is recorded in Europe (others were Ornette at Golden Circle and Dexter "Our Man in Paris" and a few others) and second, because it´s kind of a "mini big band format" and BN usually was a combo-label...

clifford_thornton Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Yeah, it's interesting that it even came out on Blue Note at all. I love the CBBB and am glad it exists, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Must have been the consequence of one of Francis Wolff’s European Summer holidays and a deal which was made. Rearward also put out an additional LP of material from those sessions, recorded in Koln I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HutchFan Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Now: I like this record, but I wish it had been mixed differently. It's too treble-y, giving the music a flat aspect.

kh1958 Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Oudi Hrant, Turkish Delights (Prestige). Brief liner notes and no recording date/discographical information included or in Prestige discography. The leader is superb on oud. There are also ensemble performances. Several feature saxophone solos. The saxophonist sounds like Zoot Sims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
