  6. The new "Pay-It-Forward" Music Giveaway Thread!!&#33

    in Offering and Looking For...

    Posted

    I'd forgotten about this thread. Here's an offering:

    https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61F0Lu572iL._SS280.jpg

    Years ago, I found a vinyl copy of Byard Lancaster's self-issued Personal Testimony, a solo-with-overdubs album from 1979. I like it a lot. Porter Records reissued it on CD in 2008, with five new performances added. I recently picked up a used copy of the CD, but had a strong, visceral, negative reaction to the new pieces. So I'm keeping the old LP and giving away the CD. Someone else might like the new pieces more than I do. And if not, you'll have the original album for free.

    I'd like it if still available. 

  8. Sonny Rollins complete live at the village gate 1962

    in New Releases

    Posted

    I've been listening to this almost exclusively for about a week. AMAZING stuff. I wonder how this would sound if don and sonny were mixed and not panned hard. Though the panning works. Everything is right and wrong with the music. Legal or not this release has been my favorite this year. I feel bad for sonny not getting his share, but sonny has so many recording he doesn't release for whatever reason. I like the road shows series, but prefer full shows/sets to compilations like the road shows are.

    Kampen was recorded in 2010 with Paal Nilssen-Love on drums rather than Frank Rosaly - so it's not from the tour that resulted in Silver Cornet. That band produced a killer CD called Reknes on Circulasion Totale (Gjerstad's label) that I found to be a bit better than the LP.

    Yup, Chuck was talking of the upcoming one, not of "Kampen". Great that there's so much recent/new Bradford around, guy really deserves it, as far as his playing goes (not saying he doesn't deserve it as a person, I'm not in a position to judge that, but love his playing a lot).

    Based on my interactions with him the times I've seen him, he deserves it more as a person than a player, and I hold him as high as any horn player out there

    Nearly bought the LP a couple of times.Glad I won't have to pay the scarcity premium now.

    Same here. I've been outbid a few time for this one. 

     

    I saw the Bradford post a few days ago. I love NoBusiness but the LP only thing is a bit a deterrent for myself. I love hunting vinyl when I can get it for an affordable price but CD is my medium of choice.

  16. Kamasi Washington: THE EPIC

    in New Releases

    And good for them. They took a shot and got it right.

    Now, what's the sequel gonna be/do? Is KW gonna become a mainstay of a subset of a generation, like Grover (or Doug/Jean Carn, to go into a deeper subset of a generation), or is this a moment of zeitgeist for all concerned? I mean, even if he does the same thing better, will it matter to this many people?

    I agree, don't hate the player, hate the game.

    Great question!! I'm curious the answer as well.

    I'm not really sure anyone on this site in particular thought they were part of the target audience. I find this to be a fascinating study in marketing really. They seemingly packaged a run of the mill album (IMO) and are having substantial commercial success.

    The new Darius Jones is excellent!! I've gotten to spin it 4 times since Friday. 

     

    Back to Kamasi... I commend him for finding an avenue to deliver his music to the masses. I just don't find his release particularly inspiring. i'm curious if Kamasi thinks of his work as "groundbreaking" as some of the critics do. 

  19. Selling My Collection?

    in Miscellaneous Music

    Posted

    I got this email from a buddy who reads the board but I guess doesn't want to actively post:

    Subject:  to that guy at the O-Board who's thinking of selling his collection...

    ...send him the name of Marc Weinstein at Amoeba.

    He's the guy I would deal with if (or when?) I sold/sell my collection.
    He's written me a nice email explaining this to me
    and he comes with good references as a store owner
    and a long time merchant.
     
     
    Without going into detail, this guy has a huge collection, I mean, massive, of all kinds of music (i'm tempted to go ahead and say every kind of music, ever, seriously)and never sells any of it.
     
    Now, having said that, all I'm doing is passing along the communication. Beyond that, I know nothing about Amoeba other than they exist. But at least, hey, another option to consider.

    I've dealt with Amoeba on a few occasions. I always do trade-in value. Since the new year I haven't been impressed with their offers, though I'm taking 15-30 at a time. In the past though I had been very pleased. With a larger collection they may be more generous.

    Not sure if anyone has experience with 504 Records but the one title I have from them is a cd-r. Bought it from Louisiana Music Factory. Maybe jeffcrom would know if all their releases are cd-r? I'm heading to New Orleans next week and would like to pick up some more but not at the price they want if cd-r's.

    The 504 CDs I have are all legit, but I haven't bought any for a couple of years, so I don't know what they're up to these days. (I have most of their older releases on LP.)

    I've stopped buying any new jazz or blues CDs put out by the Concord group (Prestige, Riverside, Contemporary, Pablo, etc.); I've been burned too many times. If I want something on those labels that I don't already have, I seek out a used copy.

    While in Louisiana Music Factory I overheard one of the employees say to another "they were going to press up more copies this afternoon." I didn't inquire what they were talking about but I suspect they may be creating CDr copies on site. It wouldn't bother me so much if I knew before purchase it was a CDr.

    In the case of Mode/V.S.O.P., it's most definitely the label. They have decided to use this manufacturing model moving forward. As a result, I've decided that I won't support that business model moving forward. :)

    I think though that they're quite straightforward about it (though in my case it was a disc listed as "Audio CD" with no further comment, bought via one of those secondary vendors - but I guess it would have been the same had I ordered from Amazon themselves).

    Wasn't aware of New World doing the same though - I actually would still love to get the two Cecil Taylor albums, only have copies once provided by a friend. But replacing CDRs with CDRs would be a drag.

    I've got a copy of 3 Phasis if you're interested you can PM me.
