Didn't know about the Eric Alexander pre-release. Might have picked that up also. Is there a specific reason you want download as Wav and then convert to mp3, rather than just dl as mp3 from Bandcamp in the first place? I don't dl as much as I probably ought to, but when I do, it is as 320 mp3s.

Well done!

Now spinning: Various Artists - The Panassié Sessions (RCA Victor, rec. 1938-39) Sidney Bechet!!! Glorious Mal.

Well it was enjoyable to find out that the Yankees trio of just-acquired relievers each failed in their shocking collapse in Miami last night but in the bigger scheme of things, this is way worse: The Sox two best starters in 2024, Tanner Houk and Kutter Crawford, both now undergoing the knife, with Houk looking at TJ surgery. And taking place August of an already lost season, he is surely done for all of 2026 too. This on top of another emerging starters, Dobbins, being lost to an ACL tear that will surely keep him out to mid-season next year at best. The GM has to look at starting pitching in November.

Consistent with the Bandcamp theme.... https://redrecords.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-umbria-jazz https://jimmygreene1.bandcamp.com/album/as-we-are-now https://aaronparksmusic.bandcamp.com/album/little-big https://aaronparksmusic.bandcamp.com/album/little-big-ii-dreams-of-a-mechanical-man

It's only one quartet (the 4th) not a set, but the Zehetmair quartet recording is stunning. They are in some ways the contemporary equivalent of the classic era Juilliard quartet - fiercely individual and orginal, astonishingly virtuosic and treat modern and classical repertoire as the same sort of material.

I stumbled across autographed CD's of Joey DeFrancesco - 'Project Freedom' and Buck Hill - 'Capital Hill'. Autographs don't really do anything for me, so If either or both of these are of interest to you, let me know what you would be willing to send me that consider a fair trade for them, and we'll see what we can get done. Both autographs are on the front of the CD booklets. The DeFrancesco is his signature in black sharpie, the Hill says "To Woody Buck HIll 1992 in black thin line sharpie. PM if interested, thanks.

Found these two LPs earlier today at a local shop: and

Had a "newbie" who has never posted here who then pointed me to a "friend", who wanted to charge me for a scan of the booklet and get me into a negotiation on price. Beware of similar tactics coming your way.

Frankie Trumbauer and his Orchestra “1927-1928” Chronogical Classics cd BIX!!

I'm familiar with what you're describing with some DG vinyl. I think the CD issue does indeed sound better.

I remember it was a very warm evening and the venue's windows were open, at one point EP mimicked the sound of a police car as it went by. I just checked the prices for the CD, they've crept up I see There's some good players on that, Innanen and Iskola I have come across elsewhere

👍

Tonight at Noon, “To Mingus with Love” Prophone cd Hammond organ and horns Mingus!

Back at the stereo for a bit. Pulled out Dexter Gordon "Our Man in Paris" 24 Bit by RVG Blue Note Japan cd Earl "Bud" Powell on the piano chair makes this a special session. There are perhaps better sounding digital editions, but I still like this one, it's "earthy" sounding to me.

I have some of these works on lp. Some Dgg lp's from a certain era sound strange, no depth, no soundstage, very thin ... this recording/pressing is an example of that phenomenon. EDIT: maybe the best way to descibe it is lifeless. I bet it sounds better on cd though ...

One last bump for a great box set. Total price averages to less than $20 per record shipped! I will keep this listed until Friday, August 8, and then return it to my collection if there is no interest by that time.

I love it. Sounds great too. I am a fan of Rafael Kubelik's conducting in general.
