Joe Henderson: Live at the Village Vanguard volumes 1 & 2 on SHM-CD. Joe taking no prisoners at the Village Vanguard in stellar sound.

I wonder what Martha's role could be in Oleg Burov's story. We saw her once in Moscow in a poorly stocked convenience store/supermarket.

Joe Henderson - In Pursuit of Blackness (Milestone)

That is Pastor Tim? I agree the pastor and wife will be back and possibly play an important (but tiny?) part in next year's final season.

I hope you did previously get the phenomenal International Phonograph CD reissue of Julius Hemphill's Dogon A.D. which is now indeed expensive as gold dust.

Thank Jesus for the relative absence of Pastor Tim this season. His wig looks even less convincing than Philip and Elizabeth in average disguise.

I'm listening to Lotus on YouTube now, but this is the best Santana I ever heard. I guess I just sampled the wrong (for me) albums in the past. Great stuff!

Wow! The Japanese sure know how to make collectors happy. Enjoy, Lon!

Mark Shim - Turbulent Flow Why doesn't Shim record as a leader anymore?

And the Monk 1961 Amsterdam concert from the Dutch Jazz Archive? Can anyone comment on the sound quality? I thought the sound of the Miles Davis 1960 Concertgebouw concerts was disappointing compared to other officially released recordings of the spring and fall 1960 European tours.

Tim Buckley - Happy Sad (WQCP-923, SHM-CD) Uncharacteristically stellar sound on this Japanese Warner reissue. (All the Tim Buckley SHM-CDs sound great.)

I guess I'm firmly on the would-have-driven-over-todler-Wynton train.

EMI made an idiotic decision splitting quartet no.15 in g major over two discs.

Muzak.

Wouldn't that be overkill?

There's a pretty diverse crowd at their Amsterdam concerts. Not just the usual geriatric jazz farts that post at Organissimo, but also people in their twenties, thirties, fourties. Parents bringing some teenagers along.
