Listening through this - I think I will sell it. Many raities, but when will I listen to all of this again? This probably is the third time I pulled zhis from the shelf since I bought it 40 years ago. https://www.discogs.com/release/11241299-Charlie-Parker-Live-And-Private-Recordings-In-Chronological-Order Now if this was the Pres bix ......

Available for $1.98 + reasonable shipping on ebay from oldies.com (who have a different user name on ebay). Same for the Walter Bishop Left Bank and the Marion Brown Bremen.

Original LP

Most of the times these days. I don't need 'everything' ... I go every week to four thriftstores in the area to search for Classical Music. I hardly find time to listen to the stuff i find ... but i love it a lot. Sometimes you will find exellent stuff if you now were to search for it.

Luckily, I have everything ripped and don't play CDs much anymore. But this is still a problem. If I had everything is alphabetical order, I could find stuff a lot better. Instead, I have this fetish of having everything in complicated suborders that approximate the chronological, stylistic, and geographic significance of each artist. I have no trouble locating my CDs of major artists who made lots of them (in my collection). But it is the more obscure artists, or artists for whom I have few CDs, that can be hard to locate.

Do your purchases strictly come from thrift shops?

Monday Michiru “Optimista” I love this album. So good in every way.

I am listening .... beautifull tone and articulation indeed. Someone was lucky in the Charityshop one day, it wasn't me that day ... that's the way it is. Maybe i'll find it some day ...

Yes, I think it does. It's become my "go to" recording for the Goldberg Variations, among the several versions that I have in my collection.

Does this recording live up to the awards it earned ? I've never heard it.

Disc 1

Earl Warrant and the Count's Men (Muse)

Spinning a wonderful sounding LP that was tucked in my collection passed over for listening too long. A stereo Roulette, they always seem to sound so good. “Tyree Glen at the Embers” Roulette LP Another great recording of Tyree with Hank Jones and Mary Osborne. 297×300 11.8 KB

Melissa Aldana, Filin (Blue Note)

Check the linen closet.

https://www.discogs.com/release/11241299-Charlie-Parker-Live-And-Private-Recordings-In-Chronological-Order Decided to pull this off the shelf and listen while assembling a new piece of furniture to complement my book shelves that arried three days early ...

On my shelf ...

I didn't enjoy Rohmer's La Collectionneuse as much as I had hoped. I think this was mostly due to the power dynamics between the two fairly douchey men and the just out of high school girl.

I don't really see that much difference in quality between the small group and big band v-disc sets. I remember noticing there was at least one session that was actually split between the two sets. And there are a few vocals on the big band set that are pretty dated, too. This material has been available and much or most of it could be found on the internet prior to the Mosaics but I do think the sound quality on these two sets is great and sets a standard for any future release of V-discs. Very worthy sets!
