I really like Sam records but the Artisan series is really a waste of money. The only thing you pay that +100 dollars for is the artwork.... I just wouldn't know why I would do that. Every one of them eventually gets a normal release for 30 dollars.

a Lee Morgan favorite combined with an excellent Scotch I bought at the distillery itself when I was there hiking the Rob Roy Highway

I don’t upgrade issue wise a lot but I’ve never liked the Japanese reissue I had of this album and it’s one of my favorite jazz albums of all time. My parents just gave me the Acoustic Sounds edition and it’s a stunning improvement. Now I enjoy it even more.

Merry Christmas everyone around the world here 🎄

In understand that’s difficult but… it’s kind of inevitable isn’t it? What a bizarre story.

Oh yes both great albums Felser with Alice, Journey is my favorite

I love that Pharoah album 😍

That’s my favorite OP! Lovely atmosphere and great compositions. Whole band is on great form.

I do own it so some of it wasn’t recorded in Europe but at Birdland? Wow that’s messy.

Cool! It’s great to sometimes just play all those records to hear that actual evolution a development in his playing. I do the same sometimes with Mal or Jackie McLean for instance

According to the book. Coltrane invited Wes Montgomery to join his band in 1962 but Wes declined the offer. Coltrane was with Dolphy at the time and was playing quite a lot in that new direction those days. He played for a week with Wes there at the West Coast. I wonder how they fit together. Fascinating.

Oh my…. 🫣

That’s such a good one 😍

For stickers on my vinyl sleeves I use lighter fluid. Let it soak for 3 minutes and then try to peel it of gently
