Symphonies 1&2 (Kajanus, Orchestra Of The Royal Philharmonic Society)

I was searching for "Tony Sestanovic" and this thread popped up. I had completely forgotten about it. I was talking to Michael Cuscuna a little while after this sale ended and learned that he sold his CD collection to ejazzlines. That's why these were mostly promo copies - they were sent to him by the label. He was laughing his ass off that I had bought so many, saying something like, "Why didn't you tell me you were looking for these"? At one point, he was going to send me a copy of the Japanese LP of Sonny Clark's "My Conception" because he had multiple copies, but after it came out on CD, we sorta forgot about it. I jokingly told him that he blew it by not selling his extra copies years earlier, especially since they were sealed. Michael once told me what "remixed by Tony Sestanovic" meant but I am not able to drag that from the cobwebs of my mind. Maybe he was the one who duped a bunch of masters back in the day... I'm not sure.

And now for something completely different, and sounding really great on the system today. Stan Kenton “New Conceptions of Artistry in Rhythm” Capitol cd

Me too, very grateful.

Dude, I'm grateful the electricity is still on! 👍

No frozen pipes! No frozen people! I’m listening a bit before going out to shovel 5 or 6 inches of snow. . . . IMG500×437 36.8 KB Joshua Reman Elastic Band “Momentum” Nonesuch cd

Just blew through the whole awesome Desmond RCA Box set I got the other day, superb mini LP packaging, great booklet, "with strings' being the weakest, but that still good listening in Desmond terminology. The other five dics make far above excellent listening. To cap it off:

Riverside RLP-1179 / OJC-465 - Johnny Griffin " The Big Soul Band" - rec. 1960 - Engineer: Ray Fowler

The videos have been removed from YouTube, but this one is available and you can see Dennard solo around 28:45

Pleins Jeux * Kyldex
