A little warmer, but wetter this morning. Hope the rain clears for important events today. Decided to play this great Don Goldie cd to start off the day. Don Goldie" Trumpet Caliente - Brilliant – Quintet Sextet" Fresh Sound cd. Those are both great sessions. 250×249 17.1 KB

"The three authors, music writer Byron Coley and musicians Mats Gustafsson and Thurston Moore, share a life-long mutual obsession to record collecting with a distinct focus on the recorded history of Free Music". https://www.ecstaticpeace.net/now-jazz-now

It’s mostly about other releases than the threads about plus: the Palo Alto and Stitt disasters have been mentioned and discussed a zillion times by now. Haven’t we reached the point where we could move on and talk about other stuff? Just my observations but hey if people want to sum up all his stupidities once again go ahead. I’ll grab my Zev Feldman is an idiot bingo card or read the other threads. Talking about other threads: anyone who feels like sharing how he dislikes Oscar Petersons playing? I have a a bingo card for that too

Ocober 18 Esperanza Spalding - 1984

😂 - Saw the Cookers in Kassel. Yes, George Cables, Cecil McBee and Billy Hart are phantastic. Unfortunately, they only played two pieces as a trio ...

Now:

Just another wow: The Core

Still blows me away

After 43 years, this track still stops me in my tracks: Hat and Beard

Saw the Cookers tonight at SFJAZZ. Great show! I've seen them a number of times before, but they seemed especially energized tonight. It's been a while since I last saw them and there have been changes in the sax section. New members: Azar Lawrence and Craig Handy (who really brought the energy tonight!). Also, Eddie Henderson was not available tonight because of illness, and Mike Rodriguez (of the SFJAZZ Collective) filled in nicely. Can believe the Octogenarian rhythm section just keeps on playing like there's no tomorrow.

The outsized ego might or might not deserve a separate thread but the QC issues like Denis Charles last year or the uncredited tenor player the year before are still best discussed in connection with the releases to which they belong...

Now: Very Miles-like!

Thinking out loud, there's been many topics on those who engineer, produce, design, etc., all kinds of sessions. I say start a topic on Zev Feldman. We have topics on Ron McMaster v RVG, Creed Taylor v Bob Thiele, Reid Miles v Patrick Roques, Richard Bock, Michael Cuscana, Bob Weinstock, Teo Macero, Orin Keepnews, and onwards. Some like these individuals, some don't. Create a Zev Feldman thread and see where it goes. My suggestion.

Saw RUSH with Neil over a 30 year span. Hope this is going to be a great show, as ticket prices win here in Ohio ( 2 shows no less) and out-priced me.

Hawkins Impulse! Now: This is ok... This: wow!

Isn’t every release one?

🤘My favorite Herbie BN. Getting prepped for the Herbie concert here in Cleveland November 4th: Hawkins Impulse!

Shouldn’t there be a separate thread where people could bash Zev Feldman? This way other threads stay on topic.

That's deep. I think I know what you mean. There's some weird timing with my posts, please forgive me...

Or...the outsize ego is directly connected to the QC issues? Palo Alto.

A whistle stop is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistle_Stop Texas in KD's time was full of them. There would be even more today if trains still ran like that ..
