That's sad, what a musical legacy

On the Storyville website is 20 euro's

Leroy Smart's Musical Don: https://leroysmart.bandcamp.com/album/musical-don From '88. Recently remastered by Crucial Bunny. Steely & Clevie involved, as was Jackie Mittoo. Unexpected quality on this one. Definitely recommend if you dig reggae and don't mind/enjoy that 80s Jamaican sound.

Hey all.. came across these being listed on Bandcamp and a few other places. I thought I'd share the info. I ordered a copy of the Jamal, Lateef and Henderson on importcds (a little cheaper). The Petrucciani (frustratingly) appears to only be a European release. Any thoughts about any of these? https://yuseflateeflive.bandcamp.com/album/alight-upon-the-lake-live-at-the-jazz-showcase https://ahmadjamallive.bandcamp.com/album/at-the-jazz-showcase-live-in-chicago https://joehendersonlive.bandcamp.com/album/consonance-live-at-the-jazz-showcase https://malwaldronlive.bandcamp.com/album/stardust-starlight-live-at-the-jazz-showcase https://www.elemental-music.com/jazz-treasures/4942--michel-petrucciani-kuumbwa-8435395505113.html

Thanks 🍻 Looks like a great price.

I've had good luck with import CDs. Looks like they have it available for pre-order: https://www.importcds.com/copenhagen-1964/717101854523

Thanks guys. Makes me wish they could include those liners in their downloads then. Any recs for shopping their CDs online?

Sorry to hear this news. R.I.P.

Martial Solal, Lee Konitz, John Scofield, NHØP - Four Keys (MPS/PAUSA, 1979)

It's quite good. Not at all expensive at amazon.

This is exciting! Storyville is a first-class operation. So, yes, this new release should have liner notes & discographical details.

The most recent ones I've purchased (online) had adequate/decent liners.

Wonderful, beautiful photo !

Does Storyville include quality liners with their archive CDs? I've never seen them in US stores and only know about them via Bandcamp. The pics and descriptions don't seem to indicate anything.

I dont know but in the last weeks my very favourite for listening is Ornette Coleman´s Prime Time. So hip, so damn good, I LOVE it !

I had no idea this was even made. Wondering if it was even distributed in the US at all. Edit: Nvm. See it's the premier of the movie so it's brand new. Reading comprehension is a great thing that I should practice more of.

Thanks, Mike. Didn't want to bug you until I had more responses. But if you're around and want to update the OP with my calendar from the prior post, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Next up: Richie Beirach - Continuum (Baybridge/Eastwind, rec. 1983) solo piano

The Uncollected Jimmie Lunceford, 1944 (Hindsight)

Re-my above post: Simce you are wondering about the transfers and just in case you would have asked: I listened to the first few tracks of my Coral LP. Though my copy is definitely not NM the sound is bright and clear and fine. At least to me, and on my non-high end equipment, and it does not sound "remastered to death" either. Just for comparison I played a few tracks from Vol. 2 (1928-30) of the CBS "Complete Duke Ellington" twofers. These tracks do have more background noise (varying between hiss and pops and crackles, apparently in accordance with the source material) and generally sound more "vintage" or "20s-ish" ("muffled" would be too harsh a word, though). Perfectly listenable but I wouldn't use the word "bright" there.

The Immortal Mississippi John Hurt (Vanguard)

You can always ask me to edit/revise the list in the opening post. As a moderator I can do that.
