I would say its purely aesthetic. I would be surprised if the mastering was different from the CDs.

Jazzwerkstatt has begun releasing select titles on 180g vinyl, including Touchin' On Trane in case anyone ever wanted that one on LP.

Is that from the same Ronnie Scott's engagement as the PAUSA album?

Good place to start! Glad to have another modern jazz fan on here.

"Day Dream" - Hodges "Angels" - Ayler

Didn't know about that Dwight Andrews. Line up intrigues It's great. Turns up on eBay a lot for less than $20.

Maybe, but early ECM is full of interesting one-offs.

Paul Bley - Copenhagen & Haarlem (Arista/Freedom)

Warne Marsh - s/t (Atlantic stereo) Dwight Andrews - Mmotia: The Little People (Otic)

Good batch, but very disappointed to see Jimmy Lyons, Billy Bang, and Ran Blake neglected again, though I guess the Cyrille should include 3 of the 5 Lyons. Farmer & Lake are favorites of mine, but I think they could've made more interesting choices. (WAH WAH WAH DO WHAT I WANT)

It is a green label. So is this an early stereo pressing then?

I'm rarely picky about pressings or even formats- I generally just want what's cheapest for the music inside. I grabbed an LP pressing of the Marsh Atlantic for $5 and was wondering about the pressing. It's stereo with a big stamp on the front saying as much. The label is green and the vinyl was in a rice paper sleeve. The rice paper sort of suggests Japan, but the heavy, hard, almost 78-like vinyl suggests something older. I'm guessing this is just a 60s repress, but would be interested to know for sure.

Damn, I want that one. The large ensemble one, too.

Wow.

I have zero photoshop skills but I've always fantasized about mocking up covers of classic albums as though they'd appeared on other labels (a la Unit Structures on Prestige or some such).

Ha! I'm surprised he didn't lop off a couple cuts just for fun.

Another ludicrously good batch from clean feed: Mark Dresser Quintet - Nourishment w/ Denman Maroney (p), Michael Dessen (tb), Michael Sarin (d), Rudresh Mahanthappa (as), Tom Rainey (d), Trumpets & Drums w/ Wooley, Evans, Lytton, Black Joe McPhee - Sonic Elements for Pocket Trumpet & Alto Saxophone Nate Wooley Sextet - (Sit In) The Throne of Friendship w/ Dan Peck (tba), Eivind Opsvik (b), Harris Eisenstadt (d), Josh Sinton(bcl), Matt Moran (vib)

My guess? Never. Same with 75% of the "Upcoming Releases" that have been sitting there for more than half a decade. As it is, he's clearly having a very hard time getting anything put out at all-- new releases have been pushed back twice this year, following a plea for investors in the label. An update is due in August-- we'll see.

very close to the top of my 'to buy' list. Is it as good as I suspect it is? Yes, it's absolutely wonderful. I was lucky to score all of Lyons' Black Saint LPs as a lot on eBay some years back. They're all very strong, but this one and Nuba (with Cyrille and Jeanne Lee) are the best of the lot. It really is almost like a CT Unit with everyone else stripped away. Well, OK, maybe circa '66, less so the unrelenting late 70s stuff.

Jimmy Lyons & Andrew Cyrille - Something In Return (Black Saint)

Jonah Jones Quartet - At The Embers (RCA Victor mono) Is what it is and it's perfect.

Don't know him, but sounds like an awful situation. The gun violence down here is so depressing. RIP Dinerral Shavers, Magnolia Shorty, Lil Snupe, Steve Blailock ...

Ran Blake - Vertigo (Owl)

I ultimately agree with Iverson. I thought the refusal to deal with the American Quartet was borderline deliberate.

The article posted in another thread mentioned a crowd of 4,000 at 120 euros a pop, that's about a $634,000 take. So 80k almost sounds low.
