Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders, LSO - Promises [Luaka Bop, 2021]
I know this splits opinion, especially amongst the Jazz cognoscenti, but it works for me every time. Definitely not a Jazz album though.
I didn't realise that, don't know how I missed it either. Thanks for mentioning it. The 'New York Collage' goes for far more than the other LPs the last time I looked into it
My 'Passing Ships' LP is faultless and sounds great compared to the CD (but my TT is probably of higher quality than my CD player nowadays). So I guess if you're lucky in the Tone Poet lottery it's worth a go
Praed Orchestra - Live In Sharjah [Morphine Records, 2020]
My favourite is the one with John Lindberg. Great playing from both on that.
The one with Tyler is more austere than I had imagined but that's only after two listens. He plays on a couple of the Black Saint albums iirc
Sounds great so far, definite improvement on the CD, (which I've played several times this week) to my ears at least. My copy has passed the 'Plantation Bag' test, thankfully. Still two tracks to listen to though, so...fingers remain crossed.
The pricing is steep over here but if it means shops like Honest Jon's survive then I'll make that choice. Lovely to purchase this over a counter in a real shop; it's been too long.
Thanks, that's good to hear that your impressions are positive (despite the source). Mine is a paperback edition but hopefully the quality control will be maintained. I'm looking forward to its arrival along with the two Cherry albums they're releasing.
