The Apartment, first time I've seen the entire movie and on the big screen in a nearly full movie theatre!

Happy New Year one and all! I stared at the 5 inches of snow we got overnight and am glad it’s too early to start shoveling yet! Thought about what my first disc of the year should be. . . and then realized I’m not into deep thought yet. So grabbed this one because I saw it’s red spine and the sound came to me and i realized I wanted to hear that sound. Mario Adnet “More Jobim Jazz” Adventure Music.

Oh ... I only saw this topic right now. I am very sorry to hear about his passing. His knowledge will be missed. I still remember a personal encounter with him in 2006 when I spent a week at Eurodisneyland near Paris with my family, and when I contacted him in preparation of the trip he kindly agreed to meet me during my "day off from the family" during that stay to show me around to a couple of record stores I was not yet aware of. It was very interesting to "talk jazz" with him, though the meeting was all too brief. And the way he clearly was greeted in awe by the shop staff at two of the record shops we both went into showed the high regard the Parisian jazz scene had for him everywhere. Thanks for all you contributed to documenting jazz, Brownie, you will be missed!

No resolutions over here but I would like take the opportunity to wish everyone here on the board all the best for the new year. Stay healthy and keep spinning all those records!

Attempted to order from Forced Exposure but shipping charges to Australia were obscene (more than the cost of the box set) Hopefully Dusty Groove will receive more copies - their shipping charges to down here are much more reasonable

Chris Potter: Concentric Circles. Concord Jazz CCD-4595 [US 1994] He copied this CD to his laptop in the back seat of a taxi in Göttingen on November 7, 2009 😅...

Wow this is the original sleeve art, right? Now playing,

Dig this dude so much, and have not had a chance to spin this CD since I bought it in Chicago last year. Putting it on now.

January 1 Chris Potter - 1971

Season's greetings!

Back in the '70s and early '80s I'd encounter Paul at record label meets and musical events. He was a fascinating personality and musician. I miss him.

His autobiography...he wrote like he played...he says everything by keeping a lot unsaid. But there it is anyway

That is a very good assessment. To me he seems both inside and apart from whatever situation he is occupying. Visually, I'd say he acts within positive and negative space simultaneously. It's definitely a unique approach.

I have that record but not with that cover photo...

And dirt cheap, $4 on bandcamp. Highly recommended if you like the cut I included. Great story! I "got" 'Meditations' when I first bought it, the ones especially lost on me were (are) 'Om' and 'Expression', though 'Ascension' and 'Live in Seattle' remain tough listens also 50 years on, though I'm more at peace with them due to adjusted expectations.

He told the tale of buying Trane's Meditations and returning it to the record store, sincerely certain the record was defective. Second one sounded the same and he ended up loving it.

Holy Freakin' Cow!! I worked with Lamont King at the Northeast Philly Peaches record store in the late 70s, knew he was a sax player and thought he was a great guy. It was obvious he was deeply dedicated to playing music even with little hope of financial reward. Bass – Warren Oree Saxophone – Lamont King, Steve Murphy Drums – Greg Jones Vibraphone – Bill Lewis Vocals – Sherry Butler Congas, Percussion – Ed Watkins This one's on Bandcamp and Amazon Music Unlimited.

This is probably my last disc spin of the year, so I selected Ellington and this was the first one I pulled out. Duke Ellington “1939-1940” Chronogical Classics cd Great variety here including solo piano, piano-bass duets, small group sides and full Orchestra sides.
