That’s a great one!

Looks awesome Hutchfan! Born in 1990: I am a '90s kid. Definitely a jazz area that got forgotten too often. Some seriously great records were made. Must be a lovely hobby revisiting and reviewing all those albums. Your friend has some serious audio equipment by the way 😱 Definitelt going to visit there. Will you post some updates/reminderd now and then? Some of my favorites from this decade: - David Murray's Special Quartet - Steve Lacy / Mal Waldron - Hot House - Billy Harper - Far East Triology - Charles Gayle - Touchin on Trane - Sonny Sharrock - Ask The Ages - Evan Parker - 50th Birthday Concert - Joe Henderson - So Near, So Far - Andrew Cyrille - My Friend Louis - Myra Melford - Alive in the House of Saints - Reggie Workman - Summit Conference - Steve Lacy - Revenue - Michel Petrucciani - Au Theatre Champs Elysees - Paul Bley - Time Will Tell - Takeo Moriyama/Mal Waldron - Bit - Steve Lacy - 5X Monk 5X Lacy - Abdullah Ibrahim - Yarona - Horace Tapscott - Aiee The Phantom! - Kenny Garrett - Pursuance - Henry Threadgill - Wheres Your Cup - Gary Burton - Like Minds - Geri Allen - The Gathering - Fred Anderson - 2 Days in April - David S. Ware - Live in the World - Vassillis Tsabropoulos - Achirana Some stone cold classics among them

Good question I wouldnt know. What I do know is that I like that record a lot

It might be time for a new reissue of the whole concert. According to some people on Discogs the sonics on the ezz-thethics are better than the original Impulse! reissue. A new issue including Creation or even more would be more than welcome

@Kevin Bresnahan maybe I used too strong words Kevin, sorry for that. I don't experience hate and reaching out to a moderator would be a case of overreacting. It's the disdain that mjazzg mentioned. It's hard too look up all those individual cases trough the search mode (i wouldnt even know where to start) but it has happened often here. Ken Dryden's comment at the Sun Ra reissue thread was the last one that made me decide to debate it here. It happened way more than that case as mjazzg also clearly notified and after so many repeated times it started to irritate me. Some of them really made you feel like you're a complete lunatic buying records on vinyl and as I tried to point out with my thread starting post here I don't think people buying vinyl records are stupid but just enjoying one of the most fun hobbies around. Is youre dissapointment really that big? I'd say it goes very far to ban all vinyl talk from a music forum (except for that small subforum) only because some people around don't like the format. There are also digital only releases and of course I sometimes feel annoyed about them but that feeling goes away in about 5 minutes.

Oh yes that was a great series

Excellent stuff 😎

Over 20.000? That is one huge collection! You could have been a millionaire selling it now 😜

Wow what an amazing piece of work. I really love this kind of enthusiasm for the music.

So many threads ultimately end up bashing vinyl and vinyl enthusiasts. Perhaps it would be helpful to have a separate thread for this, where everyone can vent their deepest frustrations about buying vinyl? Let me start by trying to explain why I personally enjoy collecting it. Let me make this clear: there are hardly any rational reasons to buy vinyl, except perhaps the fact that you can resell it later for more money. Vinyl is expensive, easily damaged, and takes up a huge amount of space. These are precisely the arguments you're bombarded with as a vinyl enthusiast. But... buying vinyl has nothing to do with rational thinking. It's more about feeling and emotion. And that's where it has so much more value for me compared to streaming and even CDs (although I definitely prefer buying those to streaming). I love browsing through my collection, putting on a record, sitting down in front of it, and reading the back cover. The whole moment has value in itself. After some investment, I also have, in my opinion, beautiful sound. The covers: for me, they're often a piece of art! A beautiful gadget. Then there's the hunt for records: I love rummaging through the bins, sometimes finding nothing, but other times finding exactly that rare record you were looking for. Or suddenly seeing that hard-to-find record pop up on Discogs! The whole hunt is part of the hobby. Then a quick clean, a new cover, and some serious spinning. As with all forms of collecting, it's a matter of feeling. Streaming doesn't do any of that for me: it symbolizes our modern, rational, hyper-efficient, and hurried society. CDs already have much more emotional value for me. Besides, I always want to own my music. Other than increasing value, there are no rational arguments for collecting coins, stamps, pins, Disney characters, or model cars. But why should I judge them the way people often do here about vinyl collecting? Do I rationally understand why someone pays 100 euros for a stamp? No, of course not, but when I see how much enjoyment they get from it, I suddenly understand. There are a few side effects of the vinyl hype that I do understand can be annoying: 1. It's a hype. I don't like hypes either: they produce hipsters in lumberjack shirts who buy vinyl for five years and then ruin it on a trendy record player in a 50-euro suitcase. They mainly drive up prices, and in five years they move on to another hype. 2. There's no CD version: no problem for me, but if CD is your format, I certainly understand the irritation! 3. Sometimes they reissue an album and only release a heavily overpriced version. All understandable annoyances, but no reason to constantly express in so many words how stupid vinyl lovers are. If a FLAC file or a Spotify playlist makes you incredibly happy: go for it! But let me enjoy my hobby. I strongly suggest all vinyl hate comments could be placed here from now on so we could leave them out of the threads on highly enjoyable new vinyl reissue programs.

I did it! I’ve bought myself a copy with my birthday moneys collected from my family and friends. This record has been a favorite since I started with more free kinds of jazz. I must have been 16 years old something like that I remember spinning it while reading Malcolm X’s autobiography and George Jackson’s Soledad Brother. I was fascinated by that period of US history. I bought myself a bootleg copy on vinyl later by I always hated the sound of it. I don’t think the playing on it is the best around but I still like it so much for its honest and direct energy. It’s a bit of a rough diamond. must have been quite a show there at the East. Very happy with this original Japanese copy now

Thats aweful. RIP.

Oh yes 😍

Here we go again 😒

the last and third LP of this magnificent set

No resolutions over here but I would like take the opportunity to wish everyone here on the board all the best for the new year. Stay healthy and keep spinning all those records!

I”ll give that one chance as well. I’m not the biggest Arthur Doyle fan but we’ll see. I love the artwork already anyway….

Must have been a great experience Clifford. I’m jealous. After four sides of this trio I needed a small cool down before old years dinner: my favorite MJQ

Okay now lets hope they leave all the catologues alone that they don't own and focus on their own magnificent legacy. There must be great unreleased stuff on the vaults by Joe McPhee, Steve Lacy etc.

That sounds great Clifford. I saw Gayle once at the Bimhuis with Parker and Rashied Ali. I remember that after 20 minutes or so I came in a trance like state. I am now on the fence for buying the 2 LP set with Brotzmann as well. For now I am enjoying this one
