Actually, there are reverb removal programs, though I have no idea how effective they are - note, also, that on those samples I can hear the reverb even on the live recordings, which means some dumbshit engineer thought this was a good idea.

Food & wine look good too. 😎

Gary Smulyan, Dominic Chianese – Bella Napoli. Capri Records– 74129-2 [2013] Personnel: Jeff Lederer (as), Gary Smulyan (bs), Joseph Brent (mandolin, v), Gary Versace (acc, p), Martin Wind (b), Matt Wilson (dr), Dominic Chianese (voc) … wonderful music!

She has good humour obviously 😇😈 ....

This is one of my favourite Sanders records. There is a real smoothness to it, along with a lot of brawn. My wife burst laughing when I brought it out of the bag.

Charlie Parker - Bird/The Savoy Recordings (Master Takes)

It has Danny Mixon on piano and organ, Calvin Hill on bass and Greg Bandy on drums. It’s a Pharoah favorite being very groovy and accessible but also creative and original in sound. Pharoah didnt sound like an exact Coltrane copy yet but had his own thing.

Recorded @ Kingsway Hall in September 1982 .... Jorge Bolet goes South ....

FIve Times Six (Cat Records) yesterday on the King's annual birthday flea market, I didn't even try, but a year ago, I actually managed to find an album from my extended wish list... so playing it again on the occasion (even though commentators pointed out that the King lost quite a bit of weight over the year, so that there's substantially less King to celebrate this year than a year ago...)

Gene Wisniewski And His Harmony Bells Orchestra – Cuban Polka ... s.d.

Woke up to warmth! Lucinda and I had a wonderful warm evening with my brothers and most of their family last night, feeling really good today. Starting off with Grateful Dead, Veneta OR 1972 “Sunshine Daydream” box set, cd 3 560×561 58.6 KB Followed by Chet Baker & Jack Sheldon “In Perfect Harmony: The Lost Album” Jazz Detective cd This is a short but sweet fun album. Joe Moondragon’s electric bass is a highlight.

Angelika Niescier is terrific. Such intensity always worth hearing at length. She has a few fabulous releases in Intakt.
