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.

Didn't know about the expanded reissue, thanks for the hint. Only had the Blue Moon reissue. Found a cheap copy from a German discogs seller and jumped at it. 😊

That VeeJay session is really great, I think Frank Wess gets the cigar here.

What really turns me off with all of the Horace Silver live recordings I have heard are the faster tempos he chose on those gigs. I think e.g. Song For My Father is much less enchanting than the studio version.

When Annie Ross fell ill during a stay in GB she stayed behind for health care/insurance reasons. Yolande Bavan was a short term replacement to fulfill the tour comitments and probably the only singer available on such short terms with the chops to handle the music. Pony Poindexter said in his memoirs that he thought she wasn't a jazz singer in his view and left soon after - there must have been some wild scat exchanges between LHR and him that unfortunately never were recorded. The MPS live album with Ross and Poindexter gives an idea of what they had been doing. I like Bavan, too, but she and Ross are totally different vocal worlds. Carol Sloane had subbed for Ross earlier - she would been a better choice.

What I would really like is a CD with all tracks from this session: 660202 JOHN COLTRANE SEXTET: Personnel: John Coltrane, tenor saxophone, bass clarinet; Pharoah Sanders, tenor saxophone, flute, piccolo; Alice Coltrane, piano; Jimmy Garrison, bass; Rashied Ali, drums; Ray Appleton, perc Location: 'Coast Records', San Francisco CA Date: 2/2/66 Engineer: Rudy Hill a.
