1. I just received the Tchicai Nordica CD. Terrible sound quality on this one. How is the original?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. While Stanley Cowell's Brillant Circles sounds GREAT (incl. the 2 bonus tracks). Never heard it before too. Amazing session.
a. Hopefully this one will be reissued in these series. The Greek State Radio theme used by Ardley (This is the music Ardley was listening on the radio when he was in Greece.), is imprinted in every Greek's soul for ever. And especially when it gets such a Third Stream Jazz treatment:
b, Also, I did not know that the elusive "Mike Taylor Trio" was re-reissued last April:

They do not offer the TNT option to Greece any more... Actually the only option is the free " Regular Mail Delivery time: 3-10 Days" method. 10-12 days is alright. But 4 weeks is not.
It is not TNT. It is Post NL. It seems they needed 7 days from the shipping notice date to actually ship it, and another 11 days to make trip from Holland to Athens, Greece.
No, we are not in lockdown any more. Touristic period, you see...
The weak dollar and lower Vat rate make the price competitive indeed. Also Mosaic were willing to declare low value. I do not know if they continue to do it though.
I see that Amazon jp offers them with exclusive "mega jackets" : " This is a product with the Amazon.co.jp limited benefit "Mega Jacket". It will end as soon as it runs out. (Size: 24 cm x 24 cm) "
Amazing production. Get the special edition for 28 eur:

2DVDs plus 2bds and photo prints.
To non US residents: Amz Us offers currently a lot of Tone Poets for 26US$. By adding shipping and import customs, and due to the weak dollar, the final price comes to approx 28 Eur if one orders 4 or more records.

I went immediately to the Blu-Ray. It is a video disc. Amazing quality. How lucky we are to have such treasures in the best quality available.
