Everyone that complains that “jazz” isn’t respected are the same people who say “you just don’t get what “insert artist” is doing”. I know that’s not what you mean with your review but know that it does come across that way. The “I can hear beyond the poor sound how revolutionary the music is” can be seen as a pompous take. Jim’s shtick is just tired and partly why I don’t visit this forum as much anymore.
Meh, I find it unlistenable. I get that I'm not a hardcore enough fan, without the expert ear to appreciate the nuances beyond the poor sound quality of what people deem an acceptable bootleg. There is enough music to discover in the world I don't want to strain to listen to these tapes. Does that make me a coward or someone who downplays its significance? I'll accept those labels as it pertains to this forum.

curious what this will mean for Blue Note. He was definitely a champion of the back catalog and bringing in newer voices with the recent-ish Blue Note “resurgence”.
Was he one of the members who run off by one of our more opinionated members? I honestly haven't spent as much time here as I used to but I remember that happening.
I have Rumproller, Judgement Day and Out To Lunch Uniqlo album cover shirts and a Dizzy jazzheadz shirt and Louis Hayes album release shirt. All XL. Free to anyone in the US. I only wore the Dizzy shirt that I remember.
I’m thinking of making a small order and seeing if EMS/USPS comes through without issue. I have read where USPS is just tossing some orders in the trash though.
