Harry South Big Band - Presenting [Mercury Records, UK 1966] So good

I've just bought a copy of 'Synthesis' off the back of this discussion, thank you gents.

Thank you

How are these, very similar to each other? I'm thinking of buying one because of the universally positive coverage but not sure that both isn't overkill. Any thoughts/guidance appreciated.

Fabulous

Great album

You've been missed, hope things have settled down for you and welcome back

Just back from Oto Fred Frith and Susana Santos Silva, top level improv

A favourite, always great to be able to see them in the flesh

Whatever happened to Chris Hunter?

David Mack - New Directions [Columbia, UK 1964 mono] Yesterday's purchase, in part due to positive comments by @sidewinder and @jeffcrom (miss his contributions) found from discussions long ago here. Third stream, 12 tone moderne. Wondering if @Teasing the Korean knows it?

Me too now. Thanks for the reminder. It's good to dig out some KV, I have so many so rarely listened to, as I'm looking forward to seeing him at the Oto Brotzmann tribute weekend next month

I have that somewhere (I hope), completely forgotten about it

Joe Harriett Quintet - Movement/High Spirits

I thought this rang bells...

Just brilliant

There's recordings on that label by others that I have tried to track down but it appears no UK distribution for physical formats

Thanks, time to revisit

How's that standing up these days? It made waves at the time

I'm no audiophile as that purchase suggests, I spend too much on the music itself to afford higher specs. It's doing the job very nicely though

Yeah, I get that

Love it

I recently upgraded my amplifier from a 90s Denon and could hear the difference in separation and depth of soundstage immediately which makes a big difference to listening to larger ensembles, but not only them. I'm not in a position to upgrade my whole system regularly, my previous upgrade was my turntable 3 years ago, but when I can afford to I do. I've always been pleased with the results.

Go for it, you deserve some compensation at least
