I really enjoy the Immanuel Wilkins album. Very strong debut. The Gerald Clayton was excellent as well. Joel Ross didn’t catch me on two listens.

Does it skate under EU copyright laws?

I almost pulled the trigger on the Christian Scott. Will probably get it next month. This month I got: Michael Thomas - Event Horizon Sanah Kadoura - Hawk Eyes Shiroishi / Byrnes / Wyche - Long Day Logan Richardson - Live At the Ropeadope Room Goldfingaz - Supreme Style

I take it this is gone now given that it’s off mosaics site?

Kawashima Makoto plays in the vein of Abe Kaoru. Not sure where, when this was recorded but it’s a powerful solo performance. I’ve seen Kawashima Makoto live and it’s a spiritual experience. Most of his releases are solo alto sax and on the shorter side but all very moving.

Kawashima Makoto - 枯葉 This is a very special 9 minutes of music

I have a record from Dusty groove and a cd from NY that have gone MIA but two separate cds from France arrive... who knows what the heck is going on.

My copy from the U.K. supposedly shipped. I won’t lie, I basically only bought it out of fear it may never see a proper release.

Vinny Golia has some titles like that. Agree it’s annoying to try and find everything.

Initially it was set to end after July but Bandcamp has extended it through December. https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/update-on-bandcamp-fridays

I’ve had a cdr fail completely. Harris Eisenstadt - Last Minute of Play In this Period. Tried pc and two Macs and half a dozen programs. It happens.

I’ve never heard of diamondsilver cdrs but if someone went to lengths to create a cdr that replicate a dying media more power to them I guess. It used to be that a pressing plant wouldn’t print with a glass master under a 1000 cds so if you ordered 500 they would charge you the same as 1000, print 1000 and trash 500 and give you 500. I don’t recall why but I think it was something about the way the machine would press them it couldn’t do smaller numbers. It’s been a while since I cared about any of this and it’s all muscle memory at this point.

There is no cd-r that is silver like a glass master made cd. Put a real cd next to one you suspect and you’ll know instantly. There are archival cd-r that use 24k gold. I have some but you don’t but those to burn your playlist to, they’re a hard copy back up and were fairly expensive when I got them. These are the ones I used. Memorex 80 min./700MB 52x Pro Gold Archival CDR (3-Pack) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

It's not silver on the bottom.

I would try a can of deoxit. Spray a little in the pots and work them back and forth. Cheap and if it works great, if not it’s a great product you can use for a long time. A little goes a very long way. Saved $300 buying a “broken” amp and cleaning it. I did other things cosmetically but that was all that needed from an audio standpoint.

Of course my Athletics blow the lead in the 9th and are the first to have a game go into extra innings

Picked this up today. Its a decent enough date, but even without hearing the original tapes you can hear why it went unissued. Glad its out and happy to have it. Lee was on point, while Hank seemed a bit off. Only spun twice ao far but not much stands out aside from Lee and a reminder of how much I've always enjoyed Hipsippy Blues.

Leonard Charles & Guilty Simpson - The Leonard Simpson Duo

My wife tolerates what I listen to. Probably 50/50 if she goes with me to concerts. She’s gone to some Vinny Golia shows with me and opted to pass on others. Usually depends on what day the concert is or if she has anything, and I mean anything else that she can do. She also passed on the Makoto Kawashima solo concert I went to last year. We do both enjoy Gregory Porter concerts. You get a great singer with a killer band especially when Tivon is on sax.

I put an order in today. I’m assuming the ordered extras since it’s still up for sale on the site. W

I really like the Slick Green album. Played it one the way to work today. Both are worth picking up in my opinion.

NP:

This album always frustrated me because it seemed extra short. IIRC it’s well under 30 mins.

I don't think many of the Newvelle releases have been reissued. Its a shame, I finally got the two Preminger releases after about a year of waiting for them to show on the second hand market, and for reasonable prices, around $40. They are beautifully done records but I wish you didn't have to get 6 LPs to get the 1 LP you may want. I'm still looking for the Jason Palmer release on the second-hand market. They seem to be sticking to their business model though. I was relieved they didn't have anything I really wanted in the 5th season, which is so sad, though if I found the Patrick Zimmerli I'd buy it, I'm not looking for it. They have a New Orleans Collection up for pre-order, 4 LPs for $200. I'm strongly considering it. Irma Thomas/Little Freddie King/Ellis Marsalis/Jon Cleary.
