how does it sound? Oh yes that’s how I got my Rules of Freedom copy from a record store in Berlin. I didn’t check Discogs and thought I bought a modern legit reissue. I was in a record store after all. Then at night in my hotel I found out it was a bootleg

and another bootleg….. this one sounds pretty shitty. Nathan Davis had quite some nice reissues lately but there’s much left to be desired.

Listened in my car back from Tilburg yesterday. Great job Gheorghe! You must be very proud. The singer could definitely sing but vocal jazz is just mostly not for me (with very few exceptions). But that's just personal preference.

That's a great way spending time Mike. How's the sound? That set contains so much essential Hill. I wish every Select contained so much new music.

Welcome jazz friend!

A bootleg that’s sounds….. okay but not more than that. Still hoping for a decent reissue. No idea who has Polydor rights right now.

Hadn’t played my favorite record on my new deck yet

It’s not that expensive but it took me a while before I obtained a copy trough Discogs

Why?

Never heard one but I like the way they look

The Craft reissue of The Cry sounds excellent. I’ve got originals of Firebirds, Rumasuma and Buring Spirits. All records that really deserve a nice reissue.

Wow those look great Hutch. I wish you lots of pleasant listening hours with them. my wife never makes hose kind of suggestions….

I’ve always liked this cover best and was happy when International Phonographic used it. It’s on my wall, what a beauty. Makes me think some how of Demons Dance by Jacky McLean.

Yeah Live at the Village Vanguard is a great Noah Howard record. I’ve got an original but it deserves a proper reissue

international jazz morning it is

McCoys playing is great but I really dislike those voices

Season one. My wife doesn’t get it and I just keep laughing. A classic.

Just finished this one. Happen to be handling Spinoza with my students these weeks as well. Together with Nietzsche Spinoza is my big philosopher hero. He was about 300 years ahead of his time. To be honest I'd say a lot people could still learn a lot from him. Now I am almost finishing this one. I have a very weird paradoxally feeling with it: on one hand I think it's pretty boring, on the other hand I want to keep reading it and it's very relaxing to do so. Interesting stuff... From wednesday I will be in Ghana for 9 days with my students. This ones coming with me: I am really a rookie in African philosphy so time to dive into it. I am familiar with Achille Mbembe but it stops right there.
