Sure you can! That's the first one that comes to my mind, actually. My question is - who laid that track?

The complete recordings of the Amar-Hindemith quartet are available in a 2 CD set and not particularly expensive: https://www.discogs.com/release/17898544-Amar-Hindemith-Quartet-Mozart-Beethoven-Dvořák-Verdi-Reger-Hindemith-Bartók-Křenek-Stravinsky-Co Audio quality is "rough", but I grew up on Bird bootlegs, so hey... What's striking, to refer to other reviews, is how direct this playing is. There's a lot to be said for that in these pieces! I don't know that anybody today would do it like this.

The first recording of a Bartok String Quartet (1926): fwiw, Licco Amar was Hungarian himself.

Hey. I had a hard time staying in there because of the volume!

The Jazz Connection was a trip. A serious fan ran it and thought it would be a great idea to combine a jazz record store and a jazz nightclub into one unit. Well, it was a great idea, but not for Dallas. But I did pick up a couple of Sonny Simmons CDs the one time I played there! Sambuca can stay gone afaic. Whatever light they might have had when they opened died pretty quickly. NOT nice people. Musicians - WORKING jazz musicians, mind you, cats who need the work, actually organized a boycott of the place. So they went to smooth jazz soloists playing over tracks. Not nice people.

1941, live in Balboa. Howard Rumsey on upright electric bass. "Lunceford on steroids"? Sure. But at this point it's honest and exciting!

I think it was called The Brick House? Loud as fuck and not always the best audiences. Or maybe it had something to do with blood, the name? All I can recall is that it was not really fun to play there.

Hey Kids!!!! Here's you chance to catch up all at once!!!

Interestingly, the JSQ continued to "record for" Epic all the way through 1966, while simultaneously recording for Columbia (again). Same company, but still, I wonder if the Epic deal was for recording more "popular composed. For Columbia, in 1963, the recorded their epochal Bartok cycle. In spite of the fact that it's somewhat "legendary", it has yet to receive a CD release in America. However...French Sony Classical put this out in 2002: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/2422878 I monitored this item and one American seller popped up with a quite affordable set. So it does exist, and I did Carpe Diem all over it: Could probably benefit from a modern remastering, and its a drag that #4 is split between two discs. But these are THE 1963 performances, it IS on legit CD, and you CAN make it into 3 CDs of your own making AND have them all in sequence. So overall, life is good, and Summer With The Juilliard String Quartet continues!

Ah, publishing! I know Wergo as a mostly experimental/modern label, so it was a bit of a (pleasant) surprise to see this item there Then again. the releases of theirs that I have are always quality on every front. So yeah!

JSQ on Wergo it is. WERGO!!!!+

QUITE alas.

He posted here for a while as JWH. That label did some meaningful reissues as well.
