Before I go on to the 1970's Fantasy albums, a last remark on the Verve period: While Universal never did reissue all of Tjader's 16 Verve albums as CDs - 9 were in the US, 1 only in Japan, 2 more by a UK label, 1 was on Tico 3 never made it to CD - there were plenty of compilations. It already started in the LP era: This was released in 1967 an so could not cover the last three LPs. This 1969 twofer combined the first LP, In A Latin Bag, with Several Shades of Jade and Breeze From The East, omitting one track. This 1973 twofer covered the whole Verve period. Another 1974 twofer with a different selection. The CD era brought us half a dozen compilations in the various series Universal thought up: At least they show that all the master tapes were still in existence. Eddie Palmieri, suprisingly, is the only compiler covering the album with Ogerman's strings - well, he also arranged a few tracks for el sonido nuevo. There is surprisingly little overlap. For details look at my discography or the discogs entries

Ich bin beruhigt .....

I agree. Jacknife is the worst new cover in the Tone Poet series by far. Also, it’s the first TP I’ve had with issues. Loud pops in multiple spots. I need to reach out to BN customer service. One of my favourite sessions though.

$14.00 or so? Wow, that's not a bad price at all. Wasn't this set going for insane prices a year or two ago?

Mistake, that's not LA; dude was in Miami in that hi-fli Vette, wow. Grew up in Florida, I can verfify those are Florida palm trees 😎

NP:

Pharoah Sanders is my very very very favourite in music. Maybe.....Sanders, Sun Ra, Monk that´s what´s really my favourites if I had to choose three......

I always assumed this photo was taken in Florida. Nice record, regardless.

ok, war etwas grob überzeichnet, aber ich neige zu exzentrischen Formulierungen, weil ich selber eher nicht grad sehr straight bin 😄 Aber was soll´s: Okay, schöne Frauen, schicke Klamotten, Styling, shoppen, das interessiert mich AUSSER MUSIK. Sonst.......da fällt mir echt nix ein. Ich les keine Zeitungen, schau keine Nachrichten, echt. Technik interessiert mich nicht, ich kann nicht mal nen Nagel einschlagen, also Fazit: Musik und Mädels......

Best current price I see - I highly recommend the set! https://www.ebay.com/itm/396790897113?_skw=gil+melle+complete+blue+note&itmmeta=01K0JD9S4R57MXCMWYD135MBCR&hash=item5c629499d9:g:xv8AAOSwTydoXW5g&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1eO7%2BHXyrP1yJrbHnGE3VqgGPTpWcj0bw62EH5flpumO2%2FPFNf6Z0wkjrpBFHWWPx4luyMkSH%2BrDfDWIMWWmDoXlfx%2F1cdg2RJoBifn275nfadc9FNyuwR0WegZouGnEFEBwk8qK630%2BTtNUBmTck7R9nyZJP9GeMcn5QzACbjZTbwhOaAzJn6mygIbOc%2BXsv9iYjxIK7FYHE6SsMAaBrfIKRGwdWQiT3T27P5IGxIKvAogllGcYmHwSdeS1aP8l45PYxytqeYVY8jCHAzDqFmV|tkp%3ABk9SR76Sp82EZg

Bought it on bandcamp and listened today. Excellent music, really well recorded. Thank you! The artwork reminded me of Sven Gundlach's cover art for a Russian band Vezhlivy Otkaz: https://www.discogs.com/master/322383-Вежливый-Отказ-Вежливый-Отказ/image/SW1hZ2U6NDkyMzA2OA==

Sorry - I just don't dig this new cover. UPS brown just doesn't cut it for me. I don't know why, but Blue Note seems to be purposefully re-doing almost every Patrick Roques cover. Joe Harley posts here occasionally... maybe he can tell us why this is? Does Blue Note not hold the copyright on those Patrick Roques Connoisseur covers?

Rock or funk or R&B??? Now playing - Spring - Funkin With The Rhythm And Blues (Springs of Sound Music). I have no idea where I got this nor who "Spring" is. With this cover shot, I have to wonder if I'm his target audience. Funky stuff... maybe R&B. Fun either way.

Hourly History eBooks are like magazine articles. When I was a toddler we lived in the area, and I remember routinely riding past the Bunker Hill Monument.
