    But sometimes I want to just wade through all the mess just because it's a Cannonball mess. Especially with the spoken intros. 

    Yes it’s a lovely ride. That deep voice and the funny things he’s sayin: makes you want to be right there in that club. I must say I don’t skip those tracks with Deasy either. Except for Benny Hen which is just silly.

    still have mixed feelings about it this record. It contains some of my favorite Cannonball (the title track is amazing). The very average and cliche guitarist Mike Deasy spoils some of the tracks with his boring rock n roll playing. If he was not there that night this would have been one of Cannonballs best live dates. I still love it for all the tracks without Deasy. Cannonball surely had some soul!

    such a great 3LP compilation from MCA Japan. Great discographical information. For 10 euros truly a steal. And it might be just my imagination or what I want to hear: but the sound quality is the best I’ve heard up till now with these Columbia/Decca records. Better than my They don’t sound like they were recorded in the 40’s.

    Nice haul Pim. Who's the seller?

    I didn't have any money from relations but still managed to order

    A 1959 issue of Brubeck's 'Time Out'. Just the cover design alone is worth the entry price but I love the music

    An original press of Mingus 'Tonight At Noon' because I'm on such a big Mingus trip at the moment and for the same reason

    Dannie Richmond Quartet - Ode to Mingus which I've really been surprised by and enjoying through streaming this holiday.

    All from UK sellers so no Brexit-tax issues

    RecordcityJP.

    Nice original presses you scored. I don’t think I even own 1 original pressing. Would love to hear one :) enjoy!

    Outstanding!  :tup

    That Cannonball LP with Wynton Kelly is one of his very best, imo.

    Definitely! Love the opener especially but this was also one of my first jazz cds so fond memories! A damaged OJC digipack that really got me into Cannonball.

    It's funny you mention Westvleteren... Since this summer their beer is available at some shops in the Netherlands (Mitra) legally for a reasonable price (4.80 or so)... Meaning, at least, that some competitors (Pannepot for instance) are now pricier and harder to find... I've now given Westvleteren as a present two or three times, had one or two myself... But still find it hard to accept that they've decided to transition to becoming an ordinary special beer 

    Fully agree. The fact that it was so hard to obtain was part of its charm.

    Every year the Phineas or every year the Talisker?

    The Talisker. Every year one glass. It was a gift from my father in law and it’s in a price class I that I would not buy a drink in. It’s something special and still enough left in the bottle for next year 😁 have the same thing with the Westvleteren beer which I only drink on special occasions.

    Phineas is more a monthly thing I guess 😎
