Dub Modal

From what I've read before when these came out, the mastering is the same as the 2013 King CTI reissue series on CD - at least where there's overlap. I have a couple of those 2013 reissues on Blu-Spec CD (Eric Gale's Forecast and Idris' Power of Soul) and I like them both SQ-wise. There are no issues of clipping for peak limiting that I noticed, but I'm not going to claim my take is definitive in any way. RVG's work on these CTI and Kudu albums were pretty lush, so someone would have to go out of their way to mess them up. I don't see the folks running King doing that. Were you burned on Japanese CTI reissues before?

Going to be anyone's Super Bowl. A lot of fans are saying that since the AFC champ game was so bad that Seattle will cake walk but the conditions in Denver were terrible. The Pats have the weapons to contend with that Seahawks defense. I think it could be a great game.

Thanks for the post and link. Listening now and enjoying the album

yes, they alway offer streaming and download options for their albums - CDs, though, haven't happened yet in this series.

Ice and sleet with freezing rain coming. Freezing rain causes power issues so I hope it's much less than forecasted.

Thanks for your list above and this link.

Really enjoying this one. Never heard of anyone involved so it's totally new although it's from '73. Album is Cirrus by Bertile Strandberg's Quintet. Great sound and grooves. This is a pic of the rear cover, chosen for the band photos.

The next Bandcamp Friday is 2/6. There's several Tyler albums there. Which is recommended the highest?

How are the liners?

This is good news. They do a good job on their reissues and always provide them via download as well.

This one: They're both really good records and I enjoyed them way more than I thought I would. Not sure why I went in with low expectations in the first place. That would be me to an extent. I struggle with Miles' collaborations with Gil Evans. To the point I just don't listen to them. Every now and then I'll put them on and it's always the same reaction..."nah, not for me"

Per this article, it was one of the songs from Crescent inspired by poetry Coltrane was reading at the time. https://www.everythingjazz.com/story/john-coltranes-criminally-underrated-record/

Noticed that piano too. The drummer's style was not what I expected either. Not bad, but not sure how much of a match it is for this tune. Still, probably a good release for any Art fan because really, how many live recordings of him from the 50s are there? All the live sets I have are 70s onward and in a much different style. I'd love to hear a ballad from this set. I'll probably end up getting it.

Found a track: Art is bringing it but in comparison to other versions of this tune, I don't know...this rhythm section sounds a bit stuck in the mud on this one. Or is that just me?

Did they happen to get this on the recording?

6 tracks of 32 total are incomplete.

If you like B3, this album is strongly recommended. Really fun listen. Farnsworth is locked in and the choir works really really well.

RIP I first heard him play on Duke Pearson's I Don't Care Who Knows It, then on several ECM releases. My favorite is the classic, Solstice. What a talent, indeed.

To wit:

Ok, glad others see them too. It's definitely not easy to find with that page design. Maybe the OP found them as well.

Does anyone else see the SoundCloud clips on the original post's link? There's about 4 or so and they're approx 6 mins long.

Ohhhh baby. I think my laser disc player actually still works!

The link you provided has Soundcloud links for at least some of these tracks. You may not be able to listen to them in France perhaps? From what I'm listening to, there's a strong tinge of ambient electronic sounds which give way to some beats here and there. It's a little eclectic, but they're interesting. I'm not hearing anything jazz related. I've listened to Aurora before and I'd say what I'm hearing on these sample tracks is much better than that album.

He's playing with guys I've never really heard of, which doesn't matter overall, but I'd love to hear some samples regardless.
