and in 60 years, historians may read this post and speculate whether it was one of the triggers for the miserable documentation of discographical data in the 2030s but, yes, the hobby historian in me also only comes out for the old stuff, it's what hobby historians do

When I see people at a record store who are getting so excited they can buy, say, Led Zeppelin albums on CD for only 3 or 4 Euro, these are usually people under 25... People above 50 own these albums already if they wish to and they can also afford them on LP... And I do see these young people with some regularity... But I doubt that selling CDs to this demographic is by itself profitable enough to keep the shop open ... And there's a good chance that they will switch to LPs (or stop boycotting spotify) when they are over 30... What drives these people to CDs is only the price..

Clyde Lucas, Ted Fiorito, Johnny Blowers, Randy Brooks, Bill Heathcock are obscure to me... Also the Curtis Bay Coast Guard Training Station Dance band and the other military bands... Yet others like Mal Hallett or Tony Pastor do ring bells, but I don't know anything about their music... To be fair, most of the more obscure bands are only covered with relatively few tracks...

For a second, you had me imagining Teddy Wilson with Duke Jordan... Might be really nice, if it worked out but quite risky ... NP: Lawrence Brown - Inspired Abandon

I think it's too late to delete, and the question how to deal with the fact that so much great music and documentation came to us via Cadence remains important... we just need to return to Tyler and his music soon because, yes, it's his thread...

Thank you Peter and Hutch an for those nice lists!

Probably something like the paragraph titled "Sexual Abuse" here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Rusch

On the Folkways homepage, you can download scans of the liner notes to many releases for free, including this one https://folkways.si.edu/new-orleans-jazz-the-twenties/ragtime/music/album/smithsonian Just scroll to "download liner notes"... It's a pretty amazing resource actually

Like the others said, you should definitely sample it before buying... If you hate Bob Dylan, it's probably not for you... I like it quite a bit...

yes, this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/2938487-Charles-TylerEnsemble-Voyage-From-Jericho and there is even a chance that some folks will part with their copies in the coming months when the reissue in their preferred format hits the market... got some nice BYG LPs that way recently...

What makes this particular case potentially tricky is that it's a Polish name, Garbarek's father was Polish ... So unless the pronunciations in the two languages coincide, it also depends on Jan's preferences which of the two pronunciations he prefers for his name...

In Iverson's list, it's completely subjective, if you pull it out to listen to piano, it's a piano record... Like, for me, Up in Volly's Room by Art Hodes is clearly a piano record despite the horns, just like Tales of Another by Gary Peacock despite the leader... But the typical piano record is solo or trio and the pianist is the leader...

Nice, thanks for letting us know!

Tizian Jost's claim to fame is that he was the last pianist of Günther Klatt, one of Germany's greatest talents on tenor... here you can see a nice documentary on Klatt, including remembrances by Marty Cook and people from Enja... https://olatv.de/film-serie/film-der-woche-guenther-klatt-maler-und-musiker/

one of the more surprising things in Iverson's fine post is the claim that Masabumi Kikuchi was only really good after 2000... so much of his work in the 90s is magnificient imho... but there's also awesome stuff from the 60s, especially the 70s, and the 80s... such as this album here

I have a copy where someone combined the American 1980s reissue with the beautiful original French cover Btw, regarding Parallel a Stitt, that one looks similar on paper but in fact the large band is only on a few tracks and most of it is a small group with Don Patterson... (Even though it's not their finest collaboration)

I bought the Booker Pitman record with the same cover as the book, so that one is smiling at me... "The World's Soprano Sax Nr 1" or something like that, released a few months after Bechet's death ... From what I know, it's a fascinating biography...

It's a pretty wonderful thesis though, based on the author's own interviews with Patton, Harold Alexander, Marvin Cabell, Leroy Williams, Grachan Moncur III and others and with loads of detail on things that are barely documented otherwise... There's always room for more research...

I don't know much about the Black Muslim organization Patton was a part of and the thesis is also not very precise on what exactly offended him... But, in the broader picture, there are Islamic traditions prohibiting pictures of all living things... Even though interacting with living things is completely ok... And practice looks more complex a lot of the time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aniconism_in_Islam

I have that tone poet of Picture of Heath as well, my only tone poet so far, the price was good... And I do hear a good portion of the problems described on the Hoffman board... Ultimately, it affects about five or six seconds of the record, spread over three or four places... Otherwise the record sounds great, so I am not complaining too much... But the tone of their reply didn't impress me... Seriously considering some of the newly announced ones like the Washington and the Jackson which I never found on CD...

I've been wondering whether the thesis is a bit inaccurate here and Patton would have been offended by any woman on his album cover regardless of color... That would be more consistent with what I know about islam

The passage is in this thesis here, just search for "white woman" https://andybleaden.blogspot.com/2007/07/thesis-on-john-patton-by-javier.html?m=1 It says clearly that Patton was offended by the cover of That Certain Feeling...(It's even implied that the cover made him so bitter he left the music scene for a while)

I was just rereading that passage from the thesis about Patton, how he was offended by Blue Note putting white women on his album covers, apparently becoming increasingly bitter about this in later years... Apparently, he was still ok with this at the time of Got a good thing goin' (which is also the much better cover) but That certain feeling came out after his conversion to islam and he felt having a white woman on the cover was at odds with that... So when the time comes for a Tonepoet of That Certain Feeling, they might redo that cover as well, since they're redoing so many covers anyway... That said: that certain feeling is my favorite Patton album... NP: Jakob Bro - Montclair Sessions (with Wadada Leo Smith among others)
