All Activity

Been to SD several times and love it (Point Loma seafood is excellent) but never record shopped. I see online they seem to have some good places. Hopefully accessible during your visit.

Prompted by @jazzbo's post above: The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Art Blakey's 1960 Jazz Messengers (Mosaic, 1992) Disc 3: This disc contains (most of) the tracks released on Roots & Herbs, along with a few others.

Red Garland, Ron Carter, Philly Joe Jones

Yes, and it sounds really good in this UHQCD version. Now Helen Merrill “Casa Forte” Mosaic cd

Your wife has good ears! I may have purchased a pair of Magnepan speakers if circumstances were different. They do indeed sound amazing. But, since they are so large, they really don't fit in my room.

Such a fantastic record!

One more 85th Anniversary Blue Note Japan UHQCD: Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers “Roots and Herbs”

Maybe vice versa as well.

Now listening to works from Ashkenazy's excellent Sibelius cycle. Disc 1 from this set: Wonderful interpretations and immaculate Decca SQ. That looks interesting, Chuck. What do you think of it? I'm only familiar with Rott's symphony. IIRC, he wrote only one, right?

Mercury is now owned by UMG. (I've always liked that record-- I've always felt that playing with Trane upped Cannonball's solos.)

I'll take: Jamal ,Khan Sounds of Liberation (New Horizons) $20 Byard Lancaster, Monnette Sudler Jamal, Khan Drum Dance to the Motherland $15 Monnette Sudler Thanks

Does anyone have any San Diego recommendations? Not a US city that I know...

If you've ever thought of taking one of the many Jazz cruises out there but wondered what it might be like, here are the activity schedules from the McBride's World At Sea Jazz cruise that took place Jan. 20-27 of this year. I had a blast and truth be told, got a little more Jazz than I could handle by the end.

Tina Brooks “Minor Move” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD This session needed a better digital release and this one is it. Tina Brooks deserved a longer life and career.

I swore off physical media, but I suspect that I don't quite have everything that is on this box set, and that some of it may not make it out of the vaults in any other format. Hmmmm...... Just when I thought I got out, they pull me back in.

This album includes a fantastic version of Harry Warren's "There Will Never Be Another You."

Agreed, and many of us fit that description at some point in our past. I remember the cheap 3 LP 'Impulse Energy Essentials' set was critical to my jazz formation when I was 18 years old (my intro to Mingus, Oliver Nelson, Max Roach, Cecil Taylor, Pharoah, Freddie Hubbard etc.), though it would be totally redundant for me now.

Lovely.

Is this a limited edition CD set or can I wait until the end of the year to buy it?

This again:

No worries! The recording sounds really good (it seems we can listen to the full concert:)

Double posting by accident

I bought this when it was released directly from Jaleel’s website and mine is crisp and clear.
