I get it. I just ran out of CD space. Don't know what your digital setup is. When I do buy a digital download, I practice listening to it in my car, or on computer within a week or so (otherwise I'd forget it too).

No digital download for you? That's what I'm going to do.

On Bandcamp, isn't the currency Euro or Pound?

I missed out on the first one, but I adore the second one. It's gotten a lot of play in my headphones since its release.

I caved. Preordering....

I'm leaning toward this one. I had a few late Pharoah CDs (including at least one on the Evidence label). Wasn't there a live double CD either on Evidence or another label (32jazz)? I saw him once, maybe twice, live in the 90s (maybe early 2000s), and thoroughly enjoyed him. I hate the term "mellowing out," but at that point, the Pharoah I saw and heard was far more in the Kahil El Zabar, EHE, spiritual, more spacing experience. The tricky part for me is whether or not this set reflects that era. It looks like the dates are from the late 1970s and early 80s. From those of you who know, were these two distinct eras in his playing (early 2000s and early 80s)? Or did he sound similar during those times?

I saw her live once at the Montreal Jazz Festival over a decade ago, and she and her band were amazing. One of my top five shows of all time. I strongly recommend a three-CD live set of her Unity band. It came out on a Japanese label a few years ago. I don't think she leaves Japan much, and I have not seen or heard of her touring in the US in years. https://junkoonishi.jp/ https://www.discogs.com/release/15558316-Junko-Onishi-Presents-The-Sextetplus-Unity-All https://www.amazon.com/Unity-Onishi-presents-thesextetplus-PitInn完全版・3枚組/dp/B087Z34DHF

I understand your basic point, and I don't fundamentally disagree with it. However, I do think it's a lot more complex than that. There are those of us who have had many things "go wrong" in life, thus making the decisions to exercise a lot lower priority. For example, if someone can't pay the rent, or they have a brother who just committed suicide, or a son who's drug addicted, or they've been sexually assaulted, those major life events can take precedence over "eating well" or exercising regularly. As someone who has had multiple traumas in the last decade, I know my weight gains (and sedentary lifestyle and shit diet) are my responsibility and my choices. I also know I'm an extremely high-functioning person who has survived a lot of things, other people might not have. Exercise and diet just aren't that high a priority given my life events. Just Google Dana Rivers, Oakland, and you'll get it.

I came across this in my Instagram feed and wanted to run it by this group. Are the publishers being correct that this material hasn't been released previously in its entirety??? Or do I likely own it 3 times already in 3 different "never before released" sessions? https://thelostrecordings.store/en/products/miles-davis-quintet-the-complete-live-in-paris-vol-i-ii-double-uhqcd

After two of my doctors kept warning me about prediabetes, I reluctantly (very, very reluctantly) tried Zepbound. My endocrinologist thought that was the one that would work well with the least side effects. After about three or four months, I'm down from about 240 to 220 lbs. I'm taking a very skeptical approach to these injections for the long-term. I essentially am going to take it for a while (a year-ish) and see what happens.

Thanks. It hurt my daughter much more than it hurt me. Appreciate the empathy.

Hopefully, I've got a few years left at least, but I'm wondering if anyone has a plan to donate their collection to a university music department, public radio jazz station, or something like that. I've got 5000 records (downsized to probably 1000-1500 CDs, with the rest digital). I'd like to have a clean, useful way to transfer them all to a place that might use and keep them. When I got divorced, it was a fire sale... I kept all the Mosaic sets and CDs of my favorite artists, but the physical collection of CDs went from 4000, probably down to 1500. Divorce will do that to ya....

Dumb question... but am I remembering correctly that there was supposed to be a second set of V-Disc big band stuff? If I'm right, does anyone have any details on size or release date?

I did and I do not recall any major sound issues with the Dorham. I would have to go back a second time and hear it again.
