Thanks for the report, @kh1958! This particular habit -- collecting a given artist's output solely in either digital or analog -- isn't one of mine. But I love discussing these sorts of idiosyncrasies. We've all got our weird habits -- the rules of our inner collector -- that guide us. And they're OFTEN strangely irrational. Even so, these "neurotic" habits are definitely part of the equation that makes the whole collection-building process so damn enjoyable.

Brilliant!

The Chico Hamilton Special (Columbia, 1961)

Charles Lloyd - Voice In The Night (ECM, 1999)

Yes, I assume it is. Here in the U.S., Chiaroscuro issued four volumes from this band's residence at the Roosevelt Grill.

I'm now listening to Wagner's Das Rheingold from Solti's Ring cycle:

Tremendous.

Sorry to hear this sad news. R.I.P.

Pat Metheny Group - Travels: Recorded Live in Concert (ECM, 1983) LPs 1 & 2 of 2 Terrific. This is really knocking me out today. Stunning AQ too -- especially considering the fact that these recordings weren't made in a studio.

Now spinning: Various Artists - The Panassié Sessions (RCA, rec. 1938-39) Sidney Bechet!!!
