At a more modest price point, I've just run across Night Dreamer Records (named for the Wayne Shorter record) out of London, which has revived the Direct to Disc recording process. https://nightdreamer.bandcamp.com

Seu Jorge and Roge (Night Dreamer). Fabulous recording of contemporary acoustic Brazilian music, recorded direct to disc.

You'll be really sorry when the cat jumps on the turntable.

From this week's Smalls/Mezzrow email from Spike Wilner: This is a critical time for the survival of the clubs. Our landlords have been unequivocal in not bending on the rent. They won’t accept advanced payments at a discount and will not tolerate not getting paid, regardless to the fact that we haven’t earned a dime in 40 nights. So – take it or leave it. If Smalls and Mezzrow are to survive then we must float the ark until we can resume. We have some funds but not nearly enough to get us into the late summer. It’s day by day. The SmallsLIVE Foundation has already been active in getting some emergency funds to some artists who are in serious financial straits. Our goal now is to raise enough to float the clubs rent-wise, at least through the summer. Please consider becoming a supporting member. By making a tax-deductible donation to our foundation, you gain access to our extensive audio/video archive of past performances at Smalls and Mezzrow (nearly 18,000 shows). A portion of your gift is distributed directly to the artists through our royalty system. Please go to our website, www.smallslive.com, and join.

It seems I was lucky to see him perform live on five occasions. The best was at Smalls, backed by an excellent trio of Italian jazz musicians. 1987: George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band at Caravan of Dreams 1999: with Ted Brown, Earl May at Birdland 2007: Guest appearance with Frank Morgan at Jazz Standard 2008: With Marco Di Gennaro Trio at Smalls. 2017: Quartet with Dan Tepfer on piano, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

Thanks for the lovely gift.

Another Sun Ra reissue, on Modern Harmonic--Celestial Love, the final studio recording release on the Saturn label, from 1982. This is a very pleasing, balanced and cohesive album, featuring a twelve piece band, the usual amazing John Gilmore solos, five Sun Ra compositions, two of which are present in their only known recording, two Ellington compositions, and two standards.

I have a 1960s era Jazz Heritage mono reissue on Decca for Jimmy Lunceford, Rhythm is our Business, Volume 1. While most of this series of reissues that I run across seem to be in simulated stereo, there are less common mono versions. The mono reissues in this series, including this one, sound great.
