Thanks Clifford. Unfortunately the original is a little expensive to try out. I think I know what you mean with that charm. I don’t think that’s the issue with the Soul Jazz reissue. Especially because side b sounds even worse than side a. I have read more complaints about it. But no reviews of the Universal Sound edition

Ive got the 2019 Soul Jazz reissue of his Nova album. And the sound.... really sucks. Does anyone know if that album wasn't recorded well? Or is for example the 2008 reissue on Universal Sound better?

The Group LP is a solid date but I expected a little more hence the names on it....

For me too! It was one of my fathers jazz records and he was really the one that got me into jazz. His collection was a bit limited but Mulligan was one of the artists that was present. And this very record remained one of my favorites by him (and generally in jazz).

Yeah NoBuisness is a Lithuanian label.

Ok, than you don’t....

Sorry to hear that. Probably has something to do with the Brex.... maybe they resume shipping within time. Worth contacting. They are pretty customer friendly.

That’s probably the best.... being patient is not one of my qualities...

Anyone who knows the exact release date of this? DG says around 20th of January, Juno says February 12th. Nimbus says.... well nothing

That’s nice to hear Mike! He is also great on ‘Hard Talk’

I could really recommend this website: https://www.walvisproducts.co.uk/ they are located in The Netherlands, not in the UK. They ship to all EU countries. Their Jewel Cases are exactly those you get buying a new cd. I can recommend their Vinyl sleeves also by the way. hou could find their jewel cases here: https://www.walvisproducts.co.uk/c-4612532/cd-boxes-trays-jewel-cases/

What a loss. One of the last remaining pianists from that classic era.

Pity those Palm records are mostly hard to find.

Not on my version fortunately I was pretty impressed with the sounds of this Tone Poet btw.

That must have been a very impressive experience!

Oh yeah got my eye on that one already! I started my collection with cd’s so still plenty of space for LP’s

Tapscott, Tapscott, Tapscott.... been listening quite a lot to him these days and I think this is going to be my favorite. What a great musician!

@Rabshakeh Pretty good record this is but nothing that blows you away probably. It’s a bit weird in places: some funk, freebop and spoken word. Something that needs a few listens. But definitely interesting music!

Thanks guy, did not think of the Murray dates. I know them but forgot Lancaster played on them. No leader dates? The Rib Crib disk is on my 'to listen' list That kind of music is mostly my cup of tea.

Looks very, very nice

Love that record!

It's Sunday so time for a fresh update We're still there in the early '70's as Mal's output in those years was huge with multiple records for Victor, Enja and Freedom/Black Lion. A couple of solo albums this week: Signals on Freedom and Jazz A Confronto 19 on the Italian Horo label. Also his more known Billie Holiday tribute 'Blues for Lady Day' with which I still have a little trouble connecting with... All in all these were not his strongest solo outings in my humble opinion (especially the Horo). Part from those solo records there is very nice group recording with Sonny Grey, Alain Hatot, Gus Nemeth and the one and only Kenny Clarke. Nice advanced postbop with a surprisingly good Hatot and hard swinging Clarke. A very first reunion on record with the great Steve Lacy who I admire so much. 'Journey Without an End' was the reboot of a very fruitful relationship. It's also among the most 'avant' recordings by Mal. Great stuff. Closing this week with 'A Touch of the Blues' which is probably one of the lesser known Enja releases. It was never reissued on cd until last year on the Japanese Solid label. Great record, highly recommended. Might want to add it to your basket with your next CDJapan order https://snake-out.blogspot.com A (still incomplete of course) discography with all reviews could be found here: https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2020/12/all-reviews-in-chronological-order.html A (still incomplete of course) overview of all recordings by rating could be found here: https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2020/12/all-reviews-by-rating.html Thanks for reading guys!

I don’t think I did but thanks anyway

Thanks! Not sure yet... I saw the line up, listened to some samples and just ordered blindly! Will let you know as soon as I have given it a spin.

Well of course a nice idea. Joe is one my favorite tenors but I have to admit that I hate the fact that Mosaics new sets contain mostly music that is widely avaible. For the Henderson set. I already own all of that music in pretty great vinyl or cd versions. What’s the point of buying the same music again in that black box for let’s say 120 euros? I think the ideas we’ve presented in that one topic here for new mosaics were much more interesting....
