This afternoon, symphonies from these CDs:

I really appreciate that my wife has learned to put sound above all other aspects, as long as it's not too bulky.

Proof that humor belongs in music. Not anybody can do it the way he did it. R.I.P. I still have that 45. Hilarious.

This evening:

This afternoon:

My thoughts exactly. I almost stopped buying CDs from US sellers due to high shipping rates many years ago, and always paid duty or VAT. Same for CDs from UK and Switzerland. Only discs that I really want.

https://www.novantiqua.net/prodotto/Jubel-Schein-Bedeutung Very interesting new recording, questioning the obsession with speed in most modern performances. One has to give up any preconceptions while listening. Losito definitely has the means to project the melodic and harmonic flow at these rather slow tempi, and is living proof you can achieve a beautiful tone on a violin with minimal use of vibrato. My only complaint regards the harpsichord used, a copy of a 1769 Taskin model, something Bach never had used or even heard. Although it has a beautiful elegant sound, it lacks the gravity and fullness Thuringian and Saxonian instruments had.

Post a pic, please.

Many US sellers on discogs no longer ship to Europe because of the high costs and paperwork. So that's the reverse process. We know what happened to trade between the US and GB after Brexit.

Does anybody here have that CD? It's on YouTube!

Lord has this entry: John Coltrane (p) solo Live "The Showboat", Philadelphia, PA, June 10, 1963 After the rain RLR Records (Sp)RLR88657 [CD] Coltrane on piano?!?!? https://www.discogs.com/release/5076049-John-Coltrane-Trio-Quartet-More-Live-At-The-Showboat-1963 "McCoy Tyner was late that day, and so Trane played the first three tunes and most of the fourth in the unusual trio format of tenor sax/bass/drums! CD also has the only existing testimony of Trane at the piano!"

The weekend bottle was: Feudi del Duca, Fiano, Puglia, Italy 2022

In the afternoon: ...and now:

Babs Gonzales, of course! I remember something like that from Alfred Lion but was curious if someone here has an exact quote.

Is there any knowledge about why Alfred Lion rarely recorded vocalists? I only know the 45's by Bill Henderson and the two albums by Dodo Greene and Sheila Jordan. There even was a new numers series started for the latter. So what?

My thoughts exactly.

Thanks! Lord, as often in such cases, lists only one take for all issues. But he can't listen to all of them ..... Richard Bock was a bitch.

I'd really love to hear the Harold Land tack to find out whether it is a different take than the one issued on the "This Is The Bues" compilation on Pacific Jazz.

This afternoon: Very good album with her own liner notes correcting some popular misconceptions about the use of recorders at the Berlin / Sanssouci court. The instrument was still played very often, despite the king's prominence of the transverse flute. Janitsch's pieces, it is now thought, were meant to be played with an alto recorder rather than a transverse flute. Very interesting.

Yes - I have these but still would like them as originally recorded. Besides that, the playing time would make it an LP issue just as well.
