Great band but never liked this project. It really has a soundtrack kind of feeling with lots of short takes. I just can’t really get into it. Also dislike the vocals and all the bombast. Lots of talents to be heard but not my cup of tea. I do like the Jazz Composers Orchestra 60’s recordings though. Love Hadens LIberation Music Orchestra. But this one… not really Our taste being so similar starting to scare me

Thanks Tom and others for helping out. Maybe I could take your place in July?

Guys. Thom Keith just messaged me: it’s my turn. I’ve forgotten completely unfortunately. Everything’s is a little hectic at the moment both at home as at work so I am not seeing myself presenting the new BFT any time soon. Is there anyone who is willing to change places with me? My apologies, this is really not my style!

Oh yes. For me all the volumes please. I think Dark Tree could do an excellent job with that.

Damn noise fueled by drugs… Come on man it might not be your style but there’s no need for such an ignorant and insulting statement.

Thanks @sidewinder for bothering and playing your cd’s. Curious to your opinion on Kulu!

If you have the time/opportunity please do! Because I am wondering if I am becoming an audiophile ass.... I really feel that Om and Kulu Se Mama sound bad on that one. Ive got Ascension in a better version so havent listened to that one. I do like them too. No issues with the sound on the LP's? That is worthy information after all Thanks Mike, do you remember if that was on all the versions or only the one on 'Major Works Of John Coltrane'? I don't think OM was his strongest effort but I don't feel the disgust most people express for it. I still like it. You're second statement points out to me that it's time to get these sessions in better versions. But first I want to make sure it's really an issue with this particular version.

I once bought this box for Om, Selflessness and Kulu Se Mama were hard to find. Listening to it today if really dislike the sound of it. McCoy Tyner’s piano sounds out of tune on Om and like a plastic one on Kulu Se Mama. The instruments sound out of balance or something like that. Are there more people with this 2cd set experiencing that?

The Acoustic Sounds series version. I already had the Impulse digipack cd but Coltrane is my absolute here, even more than Mal. So I had to pick this one up. Unfortunately these releases are (to) expensive. But the sound…. It’s indescribable! I ain’t no audiophile nor am I a religious/spiritual person but to hear Wise One like this almost is like a spiritual experience. It’s like Trane is playing right here in my room. Fantastic reissue.

Thanks @Late, that’s what I already thought

That a great ‘70’s jazz session as well!

Yeah that’s another great record by mr. Jordan. What a band.

Never expected to get that kind of money for it 👍 there are some records I own now on cd while I prefer a specific vinyl version. I just put the cd versions for the same price of that vinyl on Discogs. And then, with some luck…. Haha yeah I have a strict monthly budget limit now. But birthday and Santa were very generous last year…. The Charly’s I own do not sound very well and I dislike their presentation. Pure Pleasure really did a great job. It sounds amazing. I like both of Jordan’s Strata East records but Glass Brad Games have a slight preference over In The World. The ‘John Coltrane’ composition is among my favorite jazz compositions and I like this version the best.

So how do these UHQCD discs sound? I have a couple of SHM cd’s and they sound good but not much better than a ‘regular’ cd.

Pure Pleasure issue. It really sounds fantastic. I had the Harvest cd issue and a cd collector was prepared to pay 50’euros for my copy. I agreed and bought the 2 Lp set as a replacement of this fantastic record

Joe is in so many of my records. I feel ashamed to say he really wasn’t on my radar up till quite recently. Really ashamed for he as such a significant style and leaves such a trademark on the music. I also love his compositions.

I’ve got the Tone Poet of this record. It sounds fantastic. The whole record is amazing by the way

That’s a great LP indeed

Yeah I think so. The cover is indeed awful but I really like the music. It’s nice to hear Harper play in a more relaxed atmosphere. He shines anyway. Most of the compositions were written by Mal Waldron and that’s pretty audible in a good way. As is stated before: his two albums with Mal, especially the live date, are great. I gave them both a well deserved four stars on my blog: https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2021/05/1978-klaus-weiss-quintet-childs-prayer.html https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2021/05/1979-klaus-weiss-quintet-on-tour.html Thanks for that info Mike he sounds like a swinging drummer that plays with more free oriented players now and then. So…. how do you like them?

Thanks!

He’s the connection between two of my favorite players: Mal Waldron and Billy Harper. The two dates with Mal are great (On Tour and Childs Prayer) and recently I am spinning the one with Billy Harper and Cecil Bridgewater on MPS and that on is also excellent. Now his drumming isn’t necessarily anything exceptional but he did form some very fine bands and played some really fine tunes. Is there more to discover and is he known around here by others?

If you’ve seen the ‘Sons of Anarchy’ series, you probably know this guy Jim

2008 Souljazz issue. Sounds great and the music is out of this world. Theme de Yoyo could make every day a happy one, even a boring grey Sunday afternoon in January. I do wonder if they paid their dues to Nessa records @Chuck Nessa Nessa records isnt mentioned anywhere.

I’m mostly into his work with his Ray Brown/Ed Thigpen trio and the stuff on MPS. But I do like the album mhatta mentions here so I’d probably give this new release a try

The solution is crap indeed. I create my own with distilled water, alcohol and a drop of Dreft dish washing fluid. The machine works perfect.
