It’s the Cellar Door set I want at a non insane price

Their Cecil Taylor Montmartre set wasn't so hot sonically, either, from what I remember. But the material is so great.
It’s been awhile but I recall the Revenant 2CD of Taylor’s to be in mostly decent sound but with lo-fi alternative takes . My LP copy on Debut sounds vastly better though.

hmm...... I listened again to “jazz corner of the world” and I’m sticking to my impression that it’s the worst of JM albums of that era . Some great tracks but the whole thing is underwhelming. I say that as a big fan of Mobley, Morgan etc
think I’ll pass on this new one

Continuing with my Bud Freeman lps -
Side 2 of this one is a Freeman trio with Dave Bowman and Don Lamond.
one of my favourite Freeman LPs

Miles Davis ————Dark Magus———-( Sony Japan) 1977 issue/reissue.
had this for years but on coming back I’m stuck how dark it is, albeit not as black as Pangea etc...All the traces of funk / groove which made Bitches Brew so hummable are gone.
-
Anyone care to offer an insight regarding the sound on this set. If it’s an app improvement on the Galaxy set I’ll be interested. I find the low volume sound and poor presentation of the 16CD ( cheap Euro edition ) set a real deterrent.

Very sad

I quite like some opera Donizetti, Mozart etc..
meanwhile
Miles Davis ————Dark Magus———( CBS) Japan issue from 1977? at least that’s what it says on the label

Johnny Coles————Little Johnny C————( BN) mono NY
I've always had a soft spot for this session. Great numbers by a more than competent band. Duke P shines here as he so often does.

For some obscure reason I never met a nice mono original in my life, I have a stereo german audiophile reissue, Speaker Corner, as my listening copy, and the expanded cd version of course.
I really like the HMV issues of Trane’s Impulse catalog. I’ll have about half a dozen, all monos and all sound and feel lovely. As I understand it these were made from copy tapes sent to the UK. The ALS UK copy was used for the 2CD issue of ALS.
They’d probably survived better because they hadn’t been repeatedly used for reissue after reissue. Ultimately it doesn’t matter as the music on A Love Supreme sucks you in totally such that audio geekery becomes inconsequential...

Interested for sure . Is this one of those sessions that Cuscuna marked up as a reject or is this a ‘new’ discovery?
-
Keith Tippett/ Andy Sheppard———-66 Shades of Lipstick —-—-( Editions EG)
Recorded 30 years ago this July. I probably bought this based on a review in The Wire. Back in the days when the late Richard Cook was editor. It’s a fine album although I do recall thinking it a tad forbidding at the time. Mind you back then I couldn’t get my head around Cecil Taylor. ......

Sad news . An amazing musician of the highest order. I recall him looking pretty frail when I saw him perform over a decade ago. Last of the quartet..,

I’m very sorry to hear of your loss.

I think it was Clunky who said he had a 78 of the ‘Wailing Wall’.
Well remembered I think you might be right. I’ve pretty much stopped adding 78s to my collection on account of just how much space and weight they take up.
I’ve a fair number of Esquire UK 78 issues of Dial material. My understanding is that these date from the early 50s so were released later than the Dials. The sound is usually very good but I’ve no idea whether they had access to masters or metal parts etc . They certainly don’t sound like the 78 dubs that I’ve come across.

According to HJ in the past products that had ‘Iran’ in the title caused the same issues.
I’d agree that the sound on Duo Exchange is excellent as is the music . I’m pretty partial to Frank Lowe having been bowled over by a live performance with Billy Bang many years ago.
-
Yes very interesting. I’m not clear who wrote the piece and what label is involved
-
More sad news...

My first two attempts to buy this were thwarted by PayPal as they found “ a risk associated with your payment”.
Apparently the presence of Rashied Ali’s name was the issue !!! In that case they should decline all payments in regards to the Jazz Messengers.

Yes, it's very annoying. I very nearly purchased that last month from a certain Leicester based supplier. I have 'Bura Bura' and was intrigued by the rest of the concert.
Likewise but I thought after I’d bought! On the up side the sound is excellent but then it ought to be if it’s copied from a CD.

It's a bootleg, I'm afraid.
The original release was "Bura Bura", under Masahiko Togashi's name. The 1986 LP had different tracks, but the complete concert (including the 5 now-bootlegged tracks) was released as a 2CD-set.
Damn I hate it when that happens. I avoid boots for all the obvious reasons. 😢

Don Cherry/ Steve Lacy/ Dave Holland/ Masahiko Togashi————Live at Yubin Chokin, Kaikan Hall , Tokyo, May 14 1986—————( Victory)
I’ve no idea about the provenance of this new record. Two tracks are previously released. Overall it has the vibe of Lacy guesting with Cherry’s Multikulti , have a similar vibe.

Any comments on the show Decoy with Joe McPhee?
It was outstanding. I was with some friends and it’s safe to say that we were all blown off our feet. The band were really tight with sparks flying.
here’s a photo taken with my film camera

I used to shipping the other way from USA to UK and 3-4 weeks isn’t uncommon. I’d probably give it another week
Lee Konitz R.I.P.

Sad loss but what a life. I was playing some Konitz yesterday and reflected on his longevity. Amazing career. I was lucky enough to see him play a number of times RIP
