  1. Listening to the Vinyl version now and I have to say: the sound is absolutely stunning. It's balanced, clear an rich, just as I am used to with Pure Pleasure Records. Quite contrary to the most here on the forum I am more into vinyl these days. Very happy with it. How's the cd, anyone? Could someone ad the cd version to Discogs?

  2. Quite a lot of record stores in Amsterdam and the Netherlands have shut down either including a shop specializing in jazz. But to my surprise a record store opened its doors 2 years ago in my hometown Heemskerk (pop. 40.000) and seem to do ok. Probably has something to do with the revival of the LP. I order new stuff in that shop now instead of buying at amazon or other big ventures. Costs me a 2 or 3 extra a piece but worthwhile to me.

  3. 5 hours ago, felser said:

    Interestingly, I found his Blue Notes of that period to be relative dogs, much too conservative for him.  Unlike his 60's-early 70's BN's which were monsters.  Sort of true for the whole BN restart of the 80's and beyond, I guess.

    Agreed. Not bad per se but not at all the level he reached in the sixties/seventies for Blue Note and Milestone. Soliloquy is quite nice.

  4. Yup he is great, especially the Sunrise Orchestra stuff (although I must say I do not like most of the vocals on those albums). His work on Andrew Cyrille's My Friend Louis is also awesome. A trumpeter with Donald Ayler's power and Toliver's technique and speed. Powerful trumpeter!

  5. Anyone checked his FB page recently? Mr Murray is offering saxophone lessons in the NYC region.!.!

    Going to see him in the Amsterdam Bimhuis with Ingebrigt Haker Flaten and Paal Nilssen Love. Sounds like a dream group to me. I prefer Murray over Mats Gustafson anyway.

     

  6. They are pretty awful. I used to own the ‘Swing Time’ and Bebop Years boxes. 100 cd’s filled with great music, very bad sound quality, a little sessoipnagraphy (partly wrong and incomplete). It’s public domain stuff. Gave mine away. Typical Membran shit product
