    I've never seen an SACD of Stanley Turrentine's Time album. I do, however, have the SACD of Tommy Turrentine's Time album. Aren't you mistaking one for the other?
  2. Same here. I hope it's nothing serious...
  3. I heard it on my computer the first time, so that's probably why it didn't sound very good. I hope to get my copy later this month.
  4. Yep, it definitely belongs there.
  5. It was and still is on my list above...

    The late Peter Kowald was one of THE amazing bassists in the freer styles of jazz. If only he had kept his mouth shut - or his voice out of the equation if you like - when playing...

    It is fantastic! Better than I had remembered. I will try to post a more thorough review later but, for now, I will highly recommend it. Does it have a lot of that typical Kowald humming (some would call it vocalizing)? why? are you a fan of "humming" ? Sure, as long as I'm the one who's doing it...

  9. Hm, I even posted in that thread. Makes you wonder... Must be getting old. My apologies to ghost.
  10. Couldn't find it, weird... Probably due to the fact that I didn't get much sleep last night. :eye: Oh well...
  11. I thought there was a thread about this album, but it didn't turn up in a search, so here goes: the street date of the CD reissue is September 21, and it can be pre-ordered from CDUniverse for $16.79. CDU also has sound samples. The sound is pretty bad, but there's lots of beautiful playing by Warne (as usual).
  12. NO LEGS AT ALL!!!! A lot of air, though...
  13. no, in the pic I posted, one of them is dressed as Ronald, the other poses as M I've never seen a woman with three legs to stand on...
  14. Yes, these are NEW recordings, not the originals!
  15. Thanks for the research, John. The recent Ace CD Howling Wolf Sings the Blues (ACE CDCHM 1013) is actually a reissue of the older Ace CD Howling Wolf Rides Again (Ace CDCHD 333). The reissue probably has better sound since (like you said) the original acetates were used.
  16. That's a bit steep, isn't it: the Mosaic price is $119 or €97.50 for each set. I guess the much lower shipping cost within Europe makes up for it, though. it ships for free within Germany/Austria/Switzerland. No customs either (money nor hassle), so I guess that makes it an even deal. Yeah, but you don't get individually numbered sets, and those are worth a few extra bucks! B-)

    This: is indeed a very good album; great piano playing!

    I'm listening to this disc right now. I'm not sure I like what I'm hearing, it's Mahanthappa's tone that's increasingly bothering me; it has a kind of "nagging" or "whining" quality that doesn't appeal to me. I have to revise my earlier comment: once I got used to Mahanthappa's tone I liked this disc a lot better. I will have to play it again soon, though. Now listening to: again with Mahanthappa.
  20. Slightly off topic: I wonder if this great album has ever been released on CD. Does anyone know?

  22. That depends... Less noise isn't always better...
  23. This recording has a lot of air...
  24. I don't have the Jazz at Massey Hall SACD, but the CD layers of my hybrid Fantasy SACDs are new remasters, no K2s.
