Hoping for that vinyl reissue of Alkebu Lan now. Pure Pleasure did quite a lot of great reissues in recent years. Hoping they won’t duplicate them and start with what PP left on the vaults. I hope they do cd reissues also for the non vinyl buyers. anyway the title of this digital release implies an extensive reissue program.

Definitely. Such a strong band with Joanne Brackeen, NHOP and the great Billy Hart.

Yeah they definitely deserve some more attention here on the board. Very distinctive and creative sound.

I’ve had the experience with Jackie McLean a few years ago and consider him a favorite now Now playing something more mellow:

More Lacy 🥰

Getting my car keys now…. 🤪 Yeah I just recently bought some of his more well known works like Conic Sections, 50th Birthday Concert, 2x3 =5 and von Schlippenbachs Monks Casino. I always like it when there’s something new to explore again when you’re taste just adjusted to something you knew but didn’t like before and now finally clicks. Now spinning a Black Saint treasure:

I always thought Ohio was pretty much up the Tornado Alley but those things are (fortunately) a rare thing over there then as I learn from jazzbo now. All my best wishes for everybody there in the LA area. It looks horrible.

Sometimes suddenly a single vinyl reissue pops up. It's hard to track down the sources and even if they are official or not. I know bootleg labels already messed with the catalogue. I would love to see a good vinyl reissue of Mal's Seagulls album.

Awful news. Thanks for sharing!

That’s a lovely record 🥰 still on my to buy list. If I was on the other side of the Channel…. Enjoy Rabshakeh! I am very much into both Schlippenbach and Parker where there music left me cold for quite a while.

That lovely moment a Discogs seller has multiple items from your wantlist:

Haha i could definitely see why. But not really in the financial position to buy any more first pressings. I found this one for 55 euros which seemed reasonable especially considering the good condition. now spinning this excellent set:

yeehaa I own an original pressing I love this record by Shepp

Lovely almost 60 year old Dutch pressing in NM condition. I always love the idea that such an item has a whole history. And apparently with an owner who took very good care of it.

Thanks for sharing. That’s good to hear. I’ll wait some more than. I hope he’s doing okay. He definitely needs help running the business of course. It’s so great he kees the Nimbus legacy alive but it probably takes more from him than he can take at the moment.

Thanks guys I will give it a try

One of Mals best solo albums 🥰

I payed with PayPal. I guess that means I can’t do really anything right?

I can’t say I agree. You claim that Chet lived his life the way he wanted. That sounds like he was in control of his own life while I believe a heroin addict is never in control of his life and could never live the life he wants. Sure he remained successful up till the end of his life but succes doesn’t equal happiness as so many musicians have proved. Chet was a regular visitor of the police station my father in law worked. He was in all sorts of trouble always related to drugs. He got robbed, beaten up and he ended his life by jumping out of a hotel window. That doesn’t sound like a happy person in charge of his own life. Maybe I shouldn’t have used the term sad person as that has a negative feeling. But he lived a life that could have been so much better and, though he certainly had his moments, I very much doubt if he was really happy.
