The best way to fix something is to know nothing about it

This is for me also. More cds than LPs. Probably 5 to 1. Still getting 50ish pieces of media a year usually in waves.

Gregory Porter - All Rise from my local store today. Showed in stock on their site and I popped in and out quick before work. Another fantastic album by Mr. Porter.

Louis DeJoy is a man who was appointed in May and never worked for the USPS. It has been a big thing in the news lately...

I feel like that may be at the end of the album so you listen to the rest hahaha

Gary Bartz - Love Affair not my favorite Bartz but enjoyable enough to spin every now and again.

Haha. I’ve looked at a couple local shops that are doing things differently. One is having people wait in line, 6 allowed in at a time and 20 min time limit (it’s a really small shop), the other is doing online reservations and you can pick up if you get it. I put in an online reservation for one title in the Sept batch. Don’t really care if I get it though

Ah. I was under the impression the vinyl version was poor also. I may look for the Japanese version. This music does deserve to sound better.

Just finished up listening to this Bobby Timmons cd. Following it with Bird in Sweden.

Great album, terrible sound quality. Always wondered why it sounds so flat

Teddy Edwards - Feelin's

That’s beyond fucked up.

I enjoyed this 2 cd set but it isn't something I dig out much. Had it for a few years and this is the second or maybe 3rd time i've spun it. Now playing: This shit is fantastic and has stayed in rotation since I got it a few days ago.

Thats so strange, I went mac 15 years ago and am completely satisfied and never considered PC again.

Yeah I figured might as well get them while I know they’re available. I ordered Turtle Bird and Voices of the Spirit from Downtown Music Gallery as well but haven’t had the best of luck completing orders with them lately I think you’ll enjoy any of these. Preludes and Prepositions and Blue Incarnations are favorites so far but I’ve only got 6 titles on hand. The other 5 should be here any day.

From the duo album Sol Abstraction

So recently I've been digging into the work of Rick Countryman. I've ordered about 10 of his releases via squidco. Multiple configurations include Sabu Toyozumi, Christian Bucher, Simon Tan, amongst others. A lot of live recordings, will really good sound quality on a few different labels or self released. Not a lot of background on him aside for he studied under the wonderful Bert Wilson. He sticks to Alto Saxophone on all that I have heard but apparently started on Baritone. Anyone else familiar with Rick or have any recommendations?

I'm with you and Hutch. I have a few Binney records and never connected with them. I tried to listen to his newest release on Apple Music and just couldn't get into it. It was some weird atmospheric music, that he solo'd behind...some...i guess...i don't really know. I didn't finish it. It just wasn't for me.

If you like Jason's compositions, its much of the same. Odd and at times shifting time signatures. Solo-wise nothing overtly fiery (aside from his solo on Kalispel Bay!) from Jason but very deliberate as expected. Mark follows Jason's lead, their interplay is exceptional, and when he solos its much in the same vein as Jason, nothing searing, very contemplative and with Mark's unmistakeable tone. Matt and Kendrick are their typical selves. I honestly think that either could fit into any ensemble. It's a 2 CD set and as you move to the second disc things tend to liven up more and the band feels like it is settling in.

Jason Palmer - Rhyme and Reason w/Mark Turner, Matt Brewer and Kendrick Scott

Ambrose Akinmusire - On The Tender Spot of Every Calloused Moment Another outstanding release from Mr. Akinmusire.

First name that came to mind was a Muse artist of course. Ricky Ford.
