Went to see "Sentimental Value." Quiet film, nicely written, beautifully acted.

Right. Point taken, I just don't like downloads. I feel like I am buying virtually air. Just not for me. Takes the excitement out of having the actual product in your hand, I mean did you not freak finding a rare album in the cut-out bin in 1970? I can't tell you how many times I've said, "no fucking way" out loud in a store when I found the actual record/CD. Downloads for me, the thrill is gone.

I preordered, but I have to say the discography of this set sent me to my shelves to pull down my somewhat dusty old copy of George T. Simon's _The Big Bands_. There are some really obscure groups on this one! For me, that makes it more interesting, but I fear others might be put off a bit?

with Marcus Belgrave, Branford Marsalis, Kenny Kirkland, and Jeff "Tain" Watts

I get it, but I like having the product, and I'm a library man; wish the program started out more...economical. is all.

Downloads need no packaging. Storage, yes. But not packaging.

Huge Bill Evans listener, love that lay out! Need to get this....

Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Vibrations in the Village: Live at the Village Gate (Resonance)

Have a little time with the system again and this one caught my eye and called to me. I really like the first of the two “shows” released here. The sound quality is excellent, and “Round Midnight” is really interesting to hear. Bill Evans “Portraits at the Penthouse: Live in Seattle” Resonance Records cd IMG360×360 26.4 KB

Thinking ahead, which is now behind (you know, behind sight is always 50-50, lols), if we would've just started making CD's mini-lp's back in the '80's, to save space (and money, haha) we should've started this like a half a century ago, then that way, we would've saved a third of space on earth; no, keep sending on those plastic jewel cases wherever they go....

Not really a "jazz" album, but lovely and moving on its own terms:

Great stuff indeed. I would have taken Axieme, Snips and the Door if you were in Europe Felser

I had an ear infection at the beginning of this year. I believe I mentioned it here on the board. It came just after my Covid infection. The ear infection itself only took 4 days but my ears were 'closed' for almost 2 months. It really drove me insane. I don't think my hearing suffered any damage but I do have tinnitus ever since and that is probably there to stay. It's especially annoying at night. @Rooster_Ties i'd just make a quick stop at the doctor's office. All he has to do is look.

Pre-ordered as well.

All speculative but I'm wondering if some music fans' aversion to multiple takes of the same songs drove them to release an "album" version vs the complete. Multiple versions of studio-recorded Impressions make the 2 CD version an automatic purchase IMO. But looking back, when I got it I didn't even know there was a single CD option. I'd have gone for the 2 CD regardless.

Preordered. But an eyebrow was raised at the lack of mention about donating a portion of the proceeds, as was done on the first set It's still a relevant issue imo. Maybe this time a donation to one of the AFM's charitable funds?
