Revelation label sessions.

I have issues with getting some new Blu Rays to work on my player - in fact although I own the Criterion Monk release I’ve never seen it!

2 preorders from DG en route:

Can't think of a reason related to picture/sound quaility, but DVD's can be played in machines blu-ray's, can't, and in some cases, DVD anniversary sets have good extras which did not make it onto later blu-ray anniversary editions (Field of Dreams, It's a Wonderful Life, The Princess Bride being three instances of that. In those cases, I kept both DVD and blue-ray editions).

December 5 Stefano Bollani - 1972

You are right. My fault-- even though i tend to buy BluRay I still call them DVDs. Is there a reason some people prefer DVDs?

The Cigars International Christmas sale is now up. https://www.cigarsinternational.com/shop/10-packs-free-20-ci-bucks/2066611/ If you order promptly, you may receive your package before the sale ends, which will give you the opportunity to spend the CI Bucks you receive for more free CI bucks. CI also (today only) has a 20% off nearly-sitewide sale, which is not for the Christmas sale items. Code: JUMP20

Christmas music is reissued over & over & over again, just like any other music. Just check discogs for how many versions of Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" or Nat King Cole's "A Christmas Song" have been reissued. Even lesser-known titles like Scott Hamilton's "Christmas Love Song" has been reissued as "Late Night Christmas Eve".

Goose - Everything Must Go

I'm guessing you saw "Dogtooth".. Have you seen the Spanish movie "The Castle of Purity" (1971)?

I though Criterion edition was Blu Ray only?

Billie Holiday “Lady Day : The Storyville Concerts” Jazz Door 2 cd set, disc 1 This disc recorded at the Storyville Jazzclub, Boston, Mass., Mid. April 1959, and 29 - 31. Oct. 1951 (The second disc includes the sides with Stan Getz added).

Del Toro, Scorsese. I've enjoyed the recent run of movies by Yorgos Lanthimos. I also think Chloe Zhao does some good work (well, except for "The Eternals." Didn't think much of that one.)

I saw it last night. It's a fun movie like the first two.

❤️ ❤️

Next up: with Ed Bickert, John Bunch, John Goldsby, and Terry Clarke

I'd like to see a "complete label" set of Lionel Hampton's "Who's Who in Jazz" label from the 70s. Mingus did his last bass work for that label, but I seem to remember that the Hampton estate can be "Goodman-like" to deal with.

The Lost Bus - Apple+

I would love to see a Lateef Impulse box set, either studio or live and studio.

I wouldn't know. I don't read much about Yes etc.

Yes. This.
