Southern Snow - Standing The Strain

All produced by Jo Zabilu.

Bookmarked for future listening, thanks!

Ima Linman - Snow Down South?

Not particularly gripped by this one, but Shubert has never really grabbed me outside of the Lieder. Probably my "problem"...

So...you pay for one month of Netflix, watch those few episodes, and then cancel right away. That's how you do that.

Caught this group twice a while back locally and were mesmerized each time. They've not been around here since and look to have kept climbing the ladder of success. I'm always up for a top-shelf interpretation of these pieces and Amazon has a dirt-cheap price (this complete set was just 10 bucks more than the Late Quartets set, so hey...). The second Dover record remains my "favorite" because of repertoire, but this is just such a fun listening band that if these are the records they make, then ok. But hey, check this one out: This is a good band and a GREAT record

View From Within is the title given to Taurus when it was reissued by Stan Kenton's Creative World label!!!

Is Peter Friedman ok?

Is Peter Friedman ok?

The move from ,Columbia to RCA and then back is another story to tell, I would. One thing I read is that when the JSQ moved back to the Columbia family, they were on Epic because the Budapest Quartet was Columbia's "headliner". It was only after that group disbanded the the JSQ moved from Epic to Columbia. It seems odd to me that there that strict of a heirarchy among quartets on a label that had multiple orchestras and conductors (and pianists?) on their roster, but I claim no knowledge of that part of that business. None whatsoever.

It appears to had been a puzzle for some time: https://groups.google.com/g/rec.music.classical.recordings/c/50yZCEreaBg Here's the cover as included in the 2019 box: Still no indication why the record was withdrawn...

Here's a find worthy of Mosaic & Blue Note - a catalog number that was assigned to an album that was never released until this set! Why not? Nobody (on the internet anyway ..) has yet to explain. The image above is not the one included in this RCA box, but it is similar. What is included looks more like an actual RCA cover. The above image comes from the official JSQ website, and the act like it's an album that has just always been there. It hasn't. Performances are fine, if maybe just a wee lacking in spunk in #2.

Or maybe because Dolly felt like she was getting her chain yanked just a little too hard?

Why did Dolly leave Porter?

Yep!

And Roy Brooks too?

Don Schlitten @ Prestige (as both producer and cover designer) damn near exhausted the global supply once upon a time. But as we can now eat buffalo, so now can we resume exclamating-point our jazz record LP covers and CDs too!!!

Are all those prices for base models? Any common options or packages included?

How's Kenny?

That Mingus collection is deep.

Mono!!!
