Pluribus season 2 being made!!

Duke Ellington and his Orchestra “Duke 56/62 Vol. 3” CBS France LP. These are mostly vocal items, most from singles. I have Vol. 2 as well, and am on the lookout for a less expensive Vol. 1 than I see available right now.

Thank you sir. Yes, I actually paid a bit more for this all in with shipping and state tax. I am really an "up through '78" guy, and really an up through '72 guy, and there's not enough of my favorite years here and this will languish dusty on the shelves. I listened to it all once, a really nice set.

Fargo -- on a very appropriately snowy Boxing Day

Also working on a few Narayan novels, rereading The Financial Expert and then The Painter of Signs to follow.

LOL! As if the early post-war "moldy figs" fights hadn't been enough - now they are "battling" each other WITHIN the "traditional/classic" jazz field?

Symphony No. 4, up to this point i enjoyed the cycle, rather weak fourth.

The Inspector Alleyn Mysteries - free if you have Amazon Prime. This is a fun dramatization of Ngaio Marsh's detective novels. The setting has been moved from the 20's to the 40's but the overall look is slightly retro and the costumes, houses, interiors, villages, automobiles etc are beautifully authentic looking. Each program is movie length.

Rimington is exactly the sort of person I had in mind, and I have a couple of those. I was also thinking of Tex Wyndham and his bands. He published a monthly column at one point which is now available on the Syncopated Times website. It is full of comments about how people should live and let live, even if "Chicago Style" jazz isn't really jazz and its followers will burn in hell. Yeah. Cullum is good.

I agree. The vinyl boom has sent bonus tracks packing. That was a big attraction of CDs for me.

1928-1940

Depends on your taste in music. If you're interested in jazz that's a little outside, these labels are pretty strong: Intakt, Clean Feed, Pyroclastic (Independent record label led by Kris Davis)

Stumbled upon this reissue cover the other day and initially thought I'd discovered a Prestige session that I never knew about.

It might be good for the seller. 😁 I no longer have LPs or a turntable, and am completely out of touch with the ongoing vinyl boom. But it seems like buyers of the premium vinyl reissues prefer facsimiles of the original albums w/o bonus tracks. That's OK with me.

+1

Never really thought of that aspect. I know the repertoires and the musical landscape were very different by the mid-60's, and that they switched to Mosrite guitars around the same time Edwards became the lead player in '63, switching back to Fender's around the time he left in '68. I find much to enjoy in all of their albums, but the early work is the essence to me.

Not convinced less music for more money is good.
