That's real bad news.

This brand comes from the area right beneath Blue Mountain, an excellent espresso, and goes for much less than the overpriced Blue Mountain brand:

I, too, use one of these tiny bottles for years.

Same here.

Thanks. Looks like a nice retro viewing session with all those jazz musicians on the set. I put it on my amazon wish list.

Can you recommend it?

I would not enter that church any more.

I know, but for Gheorghe the single CD probably is the better option. Looks to me that he was not aware this existed. But I see he already has it.

Something different, from baroque to Branford Marsalis:

Gabriel Astruc, promoter of the first performance, wrote a nice book of his memoirs about all the scandals he provoked with music by Strauss, Debussy, and Stravinskij. At this occasion I learned, while doing some research, that the composer re-workd the score as the rights to the scores lay with Russian publsihers, and through the wars he had no longer access to the royalties from the performances - a big financial loss for him. So he signed with Boosey & Hawkes and wrote new version which were then, of course, preferred by orchestras the world over. The version of The Rite od Spring that we usually hear is form 1947. When François-Xavier Roth started his project on performing and recording the Stravinskiy ballets he encountered many problems, from obtaining to locating the original scores, but the result is stunning, the music should disturb, as Chuck said about this music, but the sound of the original score on perios instruments is even more disturbing. Highly recommende. I still lick myself fro missing their performance here in town.

Yesterday and today, excerpts from these:

I must admit I never liked it, even though I get the pun.

That's what drummer Billy Brooks called "the power of repetition". Nobody complains when an organist holds a chord.

Listen to Shadow Wilson with Monk on this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/1354471-Thelonious-Monk-Quartet-With-John-Coltrane-At-Carnegie-Hall

Not necessarily. There is always a certain low percentage of incorrectly copied 0s and 1s. That is why we need error correction and oversampling. Try copying a CD at different burning speeds and play them back. Quality of CD players has a lot to do with how accurately they read the data.

Interesting view. I found Green's repeating of phrases a welcome variation in playing style, raising the intensity with this insisting way of confirming a phrase. You can just easily get stuck in the necessity to run the changes and the lack of rhythmic variation in a linear bebop style.

That should be one for me ....

He was the greatest, IMHO, and spelled himself Jerry 😉

One of the most enjoyable albums I bought during the last years.
