  1. They should pump this into the room:
  2. Right. If all that was wanted was the basic concert, the music, period, that's already there. But now we have a significant sonic upgrade, so, yeah. That matters. No complaints here. Put me down as more than a little disappointed that the Lost Quintet Tree wasn't officially released in its entirety. An important opportunity perhaps now lost.
  3. VERY much so! These days, Spot The Liar is a 24/7 daily-activity prerequisite for basic survival, not A Goodson-Todman Production.
  4. There's a lot of variables (then and now), but if quality control is tight, it's the Official Retro OG for stuff like this.
  5. But until then...a grey-market item that improves (apparently) markedly on the sound of whatever was in The Lost Quintet Tree is nothing I'm going to reflexively sneer at.
  6. http://www.stoughtonprinting.com/old-style-tip-on-jackets.html
  7. Another one I've been aware of for more than a few decades without ever bothering to listen to even once. Nothing at all like I expected, and, at first listen, a lot less than I had hoped for. But not really doing dedicated listening today, so reserving real judgement unless and until.
  8. That East-West thing seems to me to be very much a time/place/demographic/nostalgia thing. I have yet to feel whatever pull of it there is, and probably won't have the time to try any further. Pretty much true of all Butterfield for me, although I do dig the guy's thing, a lot more than his actual music. And this one is All Time! or, if you prefer: Besides, if NOTHING else, then this: I mean, THAT, you couldn't make up, even if you wanted to!
  9. Original AEC drummer and the prime Paul Butterfield Blues Band drummer. Same guy.
  10. Yeah, but still... Also, who is releasing this?
  11. Who's in the band?
  12. I hope he's inducted as a Blue Note, and not as a Savoy or Prestige. But induction as a Cobblestone would be a nice outside the box move.
  13. This is one of those records that I've been hearing for years about what a GREAT record it is, and I've always just assumed that, yeah, ok, I bet it's really good, sure, hey, Bert Wilson, and onward, etc. So I bought this CD a few years ago thinking that same thing, put it in the pile, and didn't get to it until yesterday. And as so often happens, I am a dumbass. This Is a GREAT record. Don't know how replicable it could/should be, but that's hardly the point. On that day at that moment, these people mad some really badass, damn near earth-shattering energy music. You'll reach a star because there are such things. Mea culpa (especially to myself) and as a sidenote of illusory "importance - the line from Sonny Simmons to Stan Kenton (and vice-versa!) goes directly through here.
  14. I'm not sure either, all I know is that I don't really hear anybody complaining about it any more. Compare that to posting full article content that diverts away from hit count, which does indeed reduce revenue. That argument is still made, and effectively so, imo.
  15. Come out come out wherever you are!!!!!
  16. kinda like this, right? Important (enough), famous, eternally popular for a good (enough) reason, awareness "essential", etcetc, but at the end of the day, in no way a good finishing point for anybody/anything, especially if the entry point and finishinling are one and the sme.
  17. If it's just an album cover that's all over the web, why would you want to upload an image rather than just link to the image URL? "Stolen bandwidth" seems to be an argument whose time has come and gone (or has it?). But otherwise, why? Serious question.
  18. no "style" of playing", just natural music.
  19. If he can buy Indianapolis, will he maybe buy Greenland while he's at it?
  20. You gotta love somebody who started out playin Pre-Bop became a great Be-Bop drummer and then kept moving to Post-Bop without, literally, ever missing a beat. Roy Haynes is a truly remarkable musician - and a sharp dresser to boot!
  21. 1977 was a long time ago, maybe?
