    Jackie McLean

    IMHO Jackie hit a downward curve while still with BN. Action promised more than Right Now delivered and there were a couple of albums that went unreleased recorded just after that. Consequence is a pretty nice album, but in no way does it compare to the fire on the edge of the earlier stuff. Then some time later there's New & Old Gospel and later on Demon's Dance, pretty erratic all that, I would say. And though Gospel reaches for the heights once promised by stuff like Freedom Ring or Action, it doesn't reach it quite (though it's a hell of a mofo of an album). And I have never understood all the critical acclaim for Demon's Dance. Of course it's a great album, but I would have expected something else, something with some more daring from McLean at that time. Never invested in all that came after, my bad for sure.
  3. I hope they stick to the facts and don't make stuff up. a silent movie then?
  4. I think black looks better
  5. I tried, but I failed...

  7. stereo view you know, focus your eyes so that the two R's at the bottom are only one
  8. not entirely, but read the comments in the second half of this thread. Apparantly only newer CD writer models and burning programmes can handle the built-in errors. Of course you can still make an analog copy like you would do with an LP.
  9. we had the Escher from Japan some time ago already.
  10. AFAIK US military presence played an important role in getting american vinyl across the seas.

  13. thanks mike
  14. harrr, me needs to investigate!
  15. i like the spelling best
  16. is that Lucky T on soprano? Never heard him play that.
  17. the first one has Jack Diéval, who also has a pretty nice disk in the JiParis series, feat. the inimitable Guy Lafitte. Need to check the others.
  18. Absolutely not, but sometimes a recognition of the basic concepts used can be helpful. I haven't got a clue about music theory really, but some of these things are pretty easy to grasp and I think it is pretty cool to listen for some of these aspects once you have recognised them. Appreciation of the technique certainly adds to the enjoyment, although it doesn't change the music. I still like the disk most just for that.
  19. RTB, that's Radio-Tele Belgrade (or something close). These 10" are pretty damn rare, even in E-Europe. I saw some once in Berlin, they went for insane prices. AFAIK it's straight ahead jazz in that typical swing to bop style that you also find on a lot of recordings from the JiParis series. Seeing that the pics you link are from Dusty Groove, I assume these have been reissued?
  20. good

    Funny Rat

    My friends used to have an old dog who created "minimalistic low farting sounds," but we never found it enjoyable to any extent.
