Jonah Jones And His Latin Rhythm – Jazz Tropical! ... 1967

Original LP Original LP

I’ve been wanting to revisit this newest from Joel Ross, one of my favorites of the new cats, but it got lost in a few stacks of new arrivals. Found it! Great disc. Joel Ross “nublues” Blue Note cd

Last time I was in a library I was writing my Ph.D dissertation Edit: Later I visited some historic libraries as a tourist, not as a reader

Was listening to the 2nd Big Satan album, Souls Saved Hear. Better imho than the first - just wonderful, compact anarchy. Marc Ducret is so good.

First time I listened to them I thought it was a Du Nann work, but it wasn’t. Guess Contemporary had a good vibe whoever was behind the console. I don’t have a bad sounding Contemporary.

Koerner Hall? That will be great.

I find myself buying more than ever these days (and will have to have a clear out soon). As a regular visitor to our National Trust historic houses and gardens, most of these have second hand bookshops where bargains can be found for a few £. Similarly, Oxfam. I don't think I've used a library for 30 years !

Indeed - hard to believe that you are not there, facing the stage. My copies are the green deep-groove pressing.

Surprisingly all the instruments has a perfect balance and the illusion of being there is overwhelming. Definitely a great recording.

I am Groot.

I would guess that the main reason physical book sales are down is because they keep jacking up the prices. Why would anyone pay $30 for a new book when they can pay $12-15 for an e-book version? I used to try buying physical copies but I eventually switched over to e-books. The only times I find myself reading an actual book is when i check one out from the library.

Yes, same here. I have early stereo copies and can't think of anything that sounds better than them for live recordings.

When there are blue skies .... sort of ....

I have the original vinyls, up to vol 4. Among the best sounding live recordings in my collection.

Lovely music indeed ....

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.
