other than the Grant, I have all those that you've posted on LP. Excellent.

This sleeve is wicked!

I've been running low on storage space for a while now, so it's almost a good thing that Blue Note took this weird stance on their hot cuts. They've saved me a bunch of money.

I'm not a drummer myself, so I can't explain it technically, but I love that undulating, heavy-bottom drumming. In that sense, Mickey Roker, Ed Soph, and Hugh Walker are drummers I really love.

The gallery concerts were fine as expected, with some rare music that I will most likely never hear again in my life. The format is nice: six programs of 20 minutes each, all of them perfomed twice, in three galleries, so you can har a total of four different performances hopping from place to place. We chose pieces by C.P.E. Bach and Carl Heinrich Graun for two violas and harpsichord, a solo harpsichord recital with Froberger, Sweelinck, D. Scarlatti and Buxtehude, and third a set of quartets for oboe and strings and Gaßmann and Druschetzky, two rather undersetimated Haydn/Mozart contemporaries. As if this wasn't enough, this afternoon we attended the fourth and final concert of a series dedicated to the lesser known sides of Georg Philip Telemann. Songs published in a magazine as exemplary examples for basso continuo practice, some so-called "moral cantatas" with humorous texts, and concertos and suites for flute and harpsichord, usually performed as trios, but also possible for just two players with the harpsichordist playing two parts at once. Georg Poplutz was the perfect tenor voice for this, who confessed enjoying this welcome secular music where sacred music is what he most often is called for. Daniela Lieb and Eva Maria Pollerus, both professors at the Frankfurt music high school, were great as always. Pollerus brough her great sounding copy of a Zell harpsichord, the perfect instrument for this music. We are lucky to have such great performers in our region, and this month is packed with great concert programs - I consider going to the Clavier-Abend Monday night, where students of harpsichord and fortepiano present what they are working on.

Yes, they are both good.

I'm headed out now to watch the game. The contest closes at 6:00 pm eastern. Good luck everyone, and thanks for playing!

Thanks for researching and posting. This kind of sharing information is what makes this forum so great.

Curious to see where Kyle Tucker lands and hoping it’s not Toronto or L.A. Free-agent market buzz and rumors are often of dubious credibility, but media consensus as of today is ranking the Blue Jays as the leading contender to land him.

Another addition: July 16, 1962 • Atlantic Perri Lee on organ on half the album.

Not on Spotify… once again, glad I have the CD! I have volume three in this series and need to pick up one and two. I love small-label compilations like these.

Didn't know, doesn't matter to me. It's an okay cd. . . it may grow on me more.

As you probably know, Laubrock & Rainey are married. Nice CD.

37 TP’s now and I love each of them but the Picture of Heath was not good. Skipped on my turntable and I refuse to adjust my setup. My other 500 records play fine and now Blue Notes telling me it’s my setup that’s the problem. Right… that was reallly lame and I returned it straight away.

Nels Cline “Consentrik Quartet” Blue Note cd Decided to try out the most recent Nels Cline release. Enjoying it! Certainly is well-recorded. Nels Cline on guitar, German jazz saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock, American drummer Tom Rainey, and double-bassist Chris Lightcap.
