All Activity

This afternoon, symphonies from these CDs:

I really like that Eddie Harris CD. I bought it when it came out and I play it pretty frequently.

I really appreciate that my wife has learned to put sound above all other aspects, as long as it's not too bulky.

RIP I never saw The Turtles but I did see Flo and Eddie as members of The Mothers of Invention.

$7 shipped

These have been sold

I found this and now own it. But I would have preferred a download (HD if possible).

Schubert, String Quintet, great two cello piece with Pablo Casals and Sandor Vegh's quartet.

Henry Threadgill - Listen Ship (preorder)

There was more to them than just the hits, namely a very keen humor and ears to match. RIP, and I will always laugh with you, not at you (except for that "Magdalena" thing....)

I'll take that as the compliment I believe you meant it to be.

I loved The Turtles. R.I.P.

Proof that humor belongs in music. Not anybody can do it the way he did it. R.I.P. I still have that 45. Hilarious.

Mimi Jones: Feet in the Mud. Hot Tone Music HTM 108 [US 2016]

👍 - as Verve Records V6-8396 [US 1961] on my shelf ...

Or at all 😒. For sure. You have to pre-order to be safe.

I am retiring in two months and I have done enough experimenting and playing around with equipment over the years, that i want to just lock in on an open baffle sound thatvI love. I like that I can swap out the driver and crossover if I want to.

Sometimes, I wonder what it means that, at least on this board, my interests regarding new releases seem to be closest to someone who is exactly 40 years and a month older than me... I guess it means that great taste skips generations at times.... (my favorite releases this year so far are the Amina Claudine Myers solo album, Shakkei by Alexandra Grimal and Giovanni di Domenico as well as Tilburg Noord by Mete Erker but that's all more lowkey/local stuff compared to Fieldwork) what I bought these days: My first "Tonepoet", heavily discounted, Picture of Heath, and At the Piano by Hampton Hawes

José Roberto Bertrami - Blue Wave (Milestone, 1983)

Thanks. I saw a bunch of October Ultra-Vybes on DG earlier today (mostly Bluiett) but didn't get to those titles. Agreed on ordering procedure. Four to five CDs used to be about my "line in the sand" for cdjapan (lower price but higher shipping) vs. DG. But I can't imagine various entities getting their s**t together any time soon. And Japanese reissues are generally carpe diem.

I have a friend who used to always have his entire collection for sale on discogs at the prices he was willing to part with things ... which led to prices that were completely disconnected from the market for the stuff he really wanted to keep... that Ayler box sure is a prized possession in this household...
