  1. I will try this software: https://www.nchsoftware.com/documentconvert/index.html
  2. I love it that these sessions were recorded with a single microphone. Perfect for this kind of music!
  3. .... as will the Jo Jones Trio session with Ray Bryant, I suppose. The Mosaic website has this statement: Producer’s Note: This set of small group recordings were selected with the mainstream swing sessions in mind. A second set of the Vanguard label featuring piano recordings will follow in the future. "Mainstream swing sessions"! So some sessions like the Urbie Green, Nat Pierce, Ted Brown, Dave Burns may have seemed too "modern"? May we hope for a third set covering these?
  4. There is a Software to transfer Formats, will post a link when I am back home. Another disadvantage of this Format is the album orientation without any other details but the track title. The best still are those on jazzdiscography.com.
  5. Those sites need lots of attention and time. True discographers are an endangered species.
  6. Wise decision as it includes the tracks from the Helen Humes that the Mosaic left off.
  7. R.I.P. Maybe the last to live who played with Pres. Fantastic drummer, one of a kind. I like the photo he NYT posted, from 2019:
  8. Yes, but it is only for Goldberg completists. The two sacred pieces are not on the same level as J.S. Bach's pieces. If you are deeply into 18th century mid-German baroque church music, pretty much indispensable, if not, consider.
  9. No problem. I had my piece of the fun.
  10. I get this error code when clicking on the link: Oops! You do not have permission to view this topic. ?????????
  11. R.I.P. What can you say ....... The link in EKE BBB's post doesn't work, so here: https://loudonaldson.com
  12. A vinyl club - we had this decades ago. Was nice to build your first collection. Probably not for older collectors with large amounts of records.
  13. It is, although rather cheap in Lidl oulets. We were pleasantly surprised.
  14. Côtes du Rhône Villages AOP 2022 - Cellier de Saint Jean à Saint-Sean d'Ardières, France
  15. https://www.discogs.com/release/9729616-James-Moody-Moodys-Mood-For-Blues
  16. I saw one of those in the Vienna or Berlin instrument museum. Especially made for music for two pianos. There even was an earlier model by Stein combining a harpsichord with an early Viennese piano.
  17. Thanks for the info. I am not that familiar with the Harry Arnold stuff and had only a superficial look at it.
  18. ROTF LMAO The Sweden episode is well documented on these compilations: https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/benny-bailey-albums/5332-in-sweden-1957-1959-sessions.html https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/quincy-jones-harry-arnold-albums/4571-quincy-jones-harry-arnold-big-band-jazz.html
  19. Quincy never lost his jazz connection. The jazz guys loved him and played their best for him because they knew he was one of them. The two albums I recommended are brimming with great solos as he wrote the perfect foil for them.
  20. Must have been from this classic album. Get a copy, and one of his first, "This Is how I Fell bout Jazz". Both excellent albums. And any recording of his 1960 band that toured Europe is great. He was one of the greatest arrannging talents on the scene among those emerging from the 1950's scene.
