Marc Copland - Time within Time (Hat Hut)

The Champ!

I’m curious as to whether you were charged twice. If you weren’t, I wouldn’t bother and even if you were, just sell the second copy, as has been suggested here. I’ve never purchased from them; I find them to be expensive and all you’re buying is another concert.

Now on to this great UHQCD from 2019 Wynton Kelly “Piano Interpretations By Wynton Kelly” Blue Note Japan

Definitely a great album.

-5 degrees out. . . Snow expected tomorrow, but none today, though some wouldn’t surprise me the way weather forecasting has fallen a bit short lately! I decided to start the day off with Grant Green “Idle Moments,” the Blue Note 85th Anniversary UHQCD from Japan. Sure sounds nice!

after being pleasantly surprised by the excellent Gayle set and Clifford’s recommendation I decided I needed to get this one as well. Great stuff.

Thanks for the kind words. There is the group name right below the personnel listing, I could add the album title there. I will consider.

I first saw this on a widescreen, it was like seeing Monk live, which I never could. Great way to start the film.

Excellent recording in great sound, my disc is the later CD reissue. Eddie was one of the best.

I just received it and I am watching it right now. Really nice. Thank you for notifying us about this Criterion release.

I first met him in Toruń, twin town of Göttingen https://jazz.umk.pl/historia/2005-2/

Would have thought Pieronczyk is much older... When I was 16 or so in the 90s I bought one of his albums while on student exchange in Poland... Turns out he was himself only in his mid 20s then... Haven't played it in ages I must admit https://www.discogs.com/release/7019048-Adam-Pierończyk-Trio-Few-Minutes-In-The-Space

January 24 Bob Degen - 1944

January 24 Adam Pieronczyk - 1970

Sounds like an excellent run 😇

in spite of this, it is an interesting and fascinating document.

hmmm... are we supposed to be so excited this exists to not mention a seeming excess of marginal euro (collector / crap) entries? and no Paul "Hucklebuck" Williams, no Illinois Jacquet, no Willis "Gator Tail" Jackson, Sam Rivers only as a Jeanne Lee sideman, no John Carter (check that I do see John with Tapscott) no Henry Threadgill, no Leroy Jenkins (or Revolutionary Ensemble: ironic because there's no greater "Revolutionary" in contemporary music or literature than Thurston Moore), no Billy Bang though it could be argued Billy's key dates fall on other side of 1980. maybe Rivers, Carter, Threadgill, Jenkins et al are too much composers to be "free"? credit whoever picked Kenton - Graettinger, however, that's shocking to see, almost as much as if someone picked Bix "In A Mist." and yeah yeah, everyone has their own list but when it's a bunch of old white guys who weren't there speaking of / for an American born culture i aver there's a greater responsibility to not play preening collector sword fight. Love Jeanne Lee but she gets TWO entries and Betty Carter none? Again, one could argue her freest performances were later but she was always "out there." ** oooh, "free improv", oooh Borbetomagus! **

I am maybe the last one who would buy an Oscar Peterson album or listen to him, but I think I heard that jam, it is very good horn players, and Eddie Lockjaw is outa sight. Diz is in top form as is Clark Terry. Only that it seems that Diz made some compromis to not scare Peterson cause Diz was much more ahead of the time than. He didn´t play the straight ahead bop clichés anymore, had a young modern quartet with Rodney Jones, Benjamin Franklin Brown and Mikey Roker. The sound good but I don´t really like Nils Hennig, he has a too even tone and his solos sound like exercises, and I like if you hear more plucking the strings and musical thrill from a bass player. Nils he got a helluva chops, but somehow goes into a too plain manner like his longtime boss Peterson. Imagine those horn players with someone like Buster Williams and you´d hear the difference. I heard that album but OWN only one Peterson album: Singers Unlimited, maybe because you don´t hear to much of Oscar Peterson 😀 Diz, Jaws, Clark all were hip guys with style, and musical taste and an attitude you have to listen to it and love to listen to it.
