Anybody else getting emails touting the current availability of a drone delivery option from Amazon on many items? I worry about gunshots from some of my more...paranoid?....neighbors. But I admit to finding it just a little odd to think about. Odd, but maybe cool too.

I like it a very lot, especially the quartet side. Top-shelf imo. That mouthpiece? Maybe a metal Selmer?

Thanks. I ordered the paperback.

https://sunypress.edu/Books/L/Listening-to-Prestige Also available thru Amazon and shipping the beginning of January. While I am not finding the thread, his prior effort Jazz With a Beat was discussed here earlier this year IIRC. Definitely a will-buy and sooner rather than later.

Maria João, Aki Takase: Looking For Love. Enja Records enja CD 5075-52 [Germany 1988]

Whaat's the source of the Deep South Suite?

Thanks. IIRC (and again, I often don't), Vertigo was also shot in VistaVision and I saw it screened at the Academy's Goldwyn Theater several years ago.

Whoa!!!

Is it worthwhile? I do not know this author.

Same.

This is my fourth Joe Farmsworth led session on Smoke Sessions, and they are all good.

When I see people at a record store who are getting so excited they can buy, say, Led Zeppelin albums on CD for only 3 or 4 Euro, these are usually people under 25... People above 50 own these albums already if they wish to and they can also afford them on LP... And I do see these young people with some regularity... But I doubt that selling CDs to this demographic is by itself profitable enough to keep the shop open ... And there's a good chance that they will switch to LPs (or stop boycotting spotify) when they are over 30... What drives these people to CDs is only the price..

I recall an interview with Billy Butler, and his story was in line with Doggett's. I think it was Jazz Journal and I think it was Billy Butler?

Haven't listened in a good while. Mixed feelings when I did listen to it.

Fairport Convention: Unhalfbricking

Eddie Condon “Town Hall Concerts Vol. 2” Jazzology 2 cd set disc 2

a friend was in your shoes and eventually was given the box and book, so it does happen!

I have never heard this record, though I've seen it around. Might give it a try one day.

There's a thread here dedicated to Nelson's work on Prestige, but I couldn't find one that discussed this album. I've had this on compact disc since it was first reissued in the early 90's. I always go hot and cold on it, but yesterday it really clicked for me. Nelson plays soprano throughout, and his intonation is near-perfect, which in a way isn't surprising given Nelson's meticulousness. His solo on "The Shadow of Your Smile" is really something else. Longer than most Nelson solos, and not openly reliant on his "patterns for jazz" as much as other solos of his from the period. It's really inventive. And his sound is so flute-like in the upper register—I wonder what Steve Lacy or Coltrane thought. (Is Nelson playing an Otto Link? I think so.) What do you think of this record? Both the orchestra side and the quartet side. Does the rhythm section (Steve Kuhn, Ron Carter, Grady Tate) gel?

I'm jealous that you got to see them perform live.

👍- Recorded during the 'Heidelberger Jazztage' on June 6, 1975. I saw them live during the 'Kunstmarkt Göttingen' at the 'Stadthalle' on June 21, 1975.
