His trio sessions were re-issued by Fresh Sound Records in 2016: https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/wade-legge-albums/6418-wade-legge-trio-.html The CD is available on some streaming services.

I read about an album released in 2016: "The Jimmy Ellis Quartet Live at Andy's Jazz Club in Chicago" but could not find it listed anywhere. Did this album ever come out?

Thanks for pointing that out.

Here is the CD on the Internet Archive, with 30 second excerpts. The booklet is scanned so you can read the liner notes and session information. https://archive.org/details/cd_profit-all-the-solo-and-trio-sides-complet_clarence-profit There a few 78s that you can listen to on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/78_dark-eyes_clarence-profit-trio_gbia0363416a https://archive.org/details/78_body-and-soul_clarence-profit-sour-heyman-eyton-green_gbia0017552a There are also a few videos on YouTube, for example:

I build large speakers ("open baffle") and dabbled with vintage speakers (Altec), but I realized I was spending too much time tinkering with the sound, never really satisfied, and I was too often listening to the same "playlists" for comparison purposes. 6 months ago, I "downsized", in favor of a set of very cheap speakers (400€!) that someone recommended. I did modify them by changing the "crossover filters" (I just followed instructions provided by a trusted source). I'm really happy with the sound, which I find detailed, lively, yet relaxing and very easy to listen to for a long time. My girlfriend is happy not having monster speakers in the living room, and she really enjoys the sound as well.

Mingus published a book about training your cat to use a toilet, you could try that, but it could take time if your hallway is far from the toilet https://www.charlesmingus.com/mingus/cat-traning-program One of my two cats uses the litter box to pee, but always poops right in front of the box (or in another bathroom were there is no litter box). Weirdos...

The sound quality of this Hutcherson set is really good. I don't have any of the LPs to compare to, but compared to some of the previous CDs, the sound is much more pleasant.

Many Jubilee shows are available here: https://retro-otr.com/channel/music/jubilee/ I am really looking forward to a Mosaic box set.

Thanks!

Thanks! The CD liner notes can be found on the Internet Archive, which is always nice: https://archive.org/details/cd_a-jumpin-jubilee-the-jam-session-1945-46_charlie-parker-benny-carter-nat-king-cole

Anyone know if this is available on CD or streaming services?

Thanks. One thing leading to another..his 1963 Helsinki concert is now available on YouTube and streaming services as a "restored version" (?). It has "Tutti..."

Thanks for the links. Another interesting one, is the Rainbow Grill briadcasts in August 1967. Though not a dance date, I am sure there was some dancing involved.

Yes, these two: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_Dates,_California_1958 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_Concerts,_California_1958

I wrote a modest article about the Sunset Ballroom recording a few years ago; https://paulstephane.github.io/music/2021/10/01/Sunset-Ballroom.html Good album.

Good to know. Thanks.

I was recently interested in purchasing a copy, but the prices are indeed insane. I wonder if the book is available in public libraries. It is unfortunately not available on the Internet Archive (where you can "borrow" books and read them online).

I have this CD version: https://www.discogs.com/release/27038556-Della-Reese-With-Duke-Ellington-His-Orchestra-On-The-Radio-The-1962-Live-Guard-Sessions The liner notes indeed state that the recording date was February 13, 1962. Nice concert.

This results in a stereo "downmix", where the two channels are added together (and then divided by two). As a result, you can get cancellations between sound in the left and right channel. Nowadays, digital "players" also offer this option. My digital streamer - WiiM Pro - has that option and the results are not always very pleasing. Some software also have the option (I use Foobar2000, which has this option). Your phone may have the option (Android does). Sometimes listening to a single channel is preferable to listening to a stereo downmix to mono. It all depends on the recording. Here's an explanation of cancellation:

Here's a forum discussion in which you can read that mono cutting heads were in use for all pressings labeled as "mono" until 1968 (that is how I interpret it): https://www.audionirvana.org/forum/the-audio-vault/analog-playback/94972-steve-hoffman-on-playing-back-mono-lps I guess this explains why, for example, mint copies of 1967 mono versions of Hendrix's Bold as Love sell for over 2000€...
