Yeah, ok ... but i will never be a 'true' fan ...

Those things are great - I own several. I have looked their LP cabinets as well (findable from the link above).

Great label - and this one is excellent! I also like their Freddie Hubbard - the mid 70s Columbia albums - while not great, they are worth. listen and the packaging/price is right.

Starting off a rainy day with this awesome Carmen McRate cd on Concord, “You’re Looking at Me (A Collection of Nat King Cole Songs)” John Collins plays excellent guitar here, a key Nat Cole alumnus.

I think the Mal Waldron cd sounds good. Haven't yet received the Evans but the review I did read that panned the sound seemed to come from someone with not much experience with the sound of a typical 625 performance.

Philip Catherine, Paulo Morello & Sven Faller - Manoir de mes Reves (Enja)

April 25 Bobbi Humphrey - 1950 https://soultracks.com/birthday-bobbi-humphrey-flute/

Just playing thisexcellent set. Only thing I dislike is the cheap looking artwork which gives you the impression you’re buying one of those sucky PD label compilation. But these are excellent

Shazam definitely could be working.

Comments for the sound on the Mal Waldron and Bill Evans aren’t good as well. Glad I’ve ordered the Mal Waldron on cd. I already expected it.

playing now: the Illusions session

Well our program is pretty stacked with visits to: the Colloseum, Saint Peter’s Cathedral, The Sistine Chapel, the Pantheon, Castle Saint Angelo, Galleria Borghese and virtually every monument we stumble upon on or way between these world wonders. But come on guys, there is ALWAYS time to visit a record shop. That is at least what I am going to tell my wife

Duke Ellington ‎– Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band, 1940-1942 3CD Box set Outer sleeve, CD sleeves, booklet and CDs all M- (played once). $35 shipped U.S.

This, the Vogue box and a couple others do me.

The sound is lacking, but it is still new Coltrane to my ears.

I've enjoyed...

Nothing more than an observation, but "downtown" always seemed to me to be a mostly "white" thing. Not exclusively, mostly. Both physically and esthetically.

I hope the photographer wasn't paid too much for this one.
