He’s going to be at the Litchfield Jazz Festival with Houston Person (another favorite) this Saturday. I’m rather sad I won’t be able to attend because of prior commitment. That’s a hell of a group!

Thanks for your big heart!. Charity is one of the signature traits of New Englanders that I’ve come to appreciate in my 18 years here.

One of my few living favorite musicians, Mr.Peplowski is in a bit of a bind due to cancer. Those who've been following his Thursday night jam sessions on FB, are aware of his recent struggles. https://www.gofundme.com/f/6sw88q-ken-peplowski?utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook

Well done, gentlemen! Collectively you've got them all solved, save for the SIX (will be a tough nut to crack. Hint - the players are all American), and the SEVEN has proven to be a sleeper. I thought EIGHT would be a gotcha, but Sangrey made it out fast. Only one of you got the THREE right...surprisingly.

What rock music are you listening to? Non-Jazz, Non-Classical.
Dmitry replied to EKE BBB's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Alice Cooper - KILLER On 1971 wafer-thin vinyl. Sounds the way it was intended. Halo of Flies. Dead Babies. How appropriate……. -
How's this? It's on every new vinyl releases page in the world. What a nice record! This is from the collection I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. Howard McGhee is such a gem on this album.

Do you by chance wear a fedora that you skillfully throw on the antler wall hook with your right hand, while holding a glass of Tom Collins and a smoldering Lucky Strike in your left?
-
Agreed!

3.5 gram vtf is nothing terrible. If you're buying 1950s-1960s records, many, if not most of them were tracked by much heavier cartridges, and are still well-listenable.

I accept the possibility that this photo was taken at the Village Vanguard. 1. Tables are the same, or similar, but tables are tables, they could be replaced. 2. In the background, we can see a wall, with wooden staves. In my opinion, this is a partition between the main floor and the section of tables lined up along the wall. 3. To Lee's left we can see a small section a velvet curtain, for which the Village Vanguard is famous. Lee appears to be seating on the stage, his back touching the curtain. Approximate position is in front of where George Cables is seated on this photograph. I'm trying to find a photograph of the view from the stage. Meanwhile, I think Lee may have been seated on the edge of the far left of the stage, where the speaker is hanging now. We can see the partition on this photograph. It's on the right. Did Lee and Hank perform at the Vanguard?

Albert Ayler 5LP set from Elemental for RSD (April 23)
Dmitry replied to romualdo's topic in New Releases
Well, if that indeed is the new law of the land in USA, good luck to the European and Japanese collectors buying records on the interwebs. The sales of rare albums will move back to the record fairs and record stores, where they were before eBay took over. -
Who is pictured on the center label of the early Black Saint LPs?
Dmitry replied to Dmitry's topic in The Vinyl Frontier
Since the first Black Saint title was Billy Harper's, I guessed the same, but it doesn't look like him. https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/billy-harper-portrait-holding-tenor-saxophone-at-his-apartment-new-picture-id1364245277 -
If the seller accepts returns, might as well give the old pressing a spin.
-
I don't know which album you're referring to, but Prestige vinyl quality was not uniform. You can get a noisy pressing, and that's just how it was. Or not.
-
I don’t know who to credit for this great photograph, which is described to have been taken in 1965 at Slug’s Saloon. Lee Morgan and Hank Mobley.

Albert Ayler 5LP set from Elemental for RSD (April 23)

Now, with all of yours help I've figured it isn't. I'll see if anything comes out of it. -
Note the remnants of the STRAWBERRIES RECORDS sales tag/label on that Morgan. Strawberries was a chain of record stores in New England, owned by Morris Levy, the gangster who also owned the Roulette Records. After his famous televised apprehension, the company was sold several times, until it ceased to be in the late 2000s. I managed to shop there a couple of times when I moved here. Although they had virtually no LPs at that time, they did have an unpredictable used cd section, which sometimes produced a gem. At the very end I was one of maybe two or three customers in a 10,000 sf store. Then it became FYE Music, then that also died, and is now a Tall and Big Male clothing store, or something else. Now, returning to the previous post, the owner of the store where I snapped this photo, got a hold of a bunch of sealed Fantasy/OJC vinyl, still with Strawberry tags. He priced them from $20 up, most in the $30 range. Those OJC records have really appreciated over time. I would routinely see, and buy them for $5. Madness....who is buying these?! Do you know anyone?

This, yesterday at one of our State capital's finer record emporiums. Some very subtle differences between this and the original, that only the most discriminating connoisseur will spy.

Not eBay, obviously, but at a local record store yesterday. DMM Lee Morgan - Search For The New Land, $75 plus tax = $80.25. Do you think someone will bite? Lee is sceptical.
