Very sorry about all of that. No idea how to help other than finding out if there’s a support group she can get into. Also, don’t know what y’all’s tolerance of delta 8 or 9 CBD products are but microdosing that has helped some folks I know with mental relaxation and sleeping. Other than that, definitely plan a long vacation. I recommend something by the ocean with varying degrees of remoteness so that checking your phone or laptop isn’t easy. I do hope y’all can find some resolution. Neither of you are alone in these struggles for what that’s worth

Wonder how/where Shipp would place Tristano?

Excellent. One of the best jazz/hip hop albums

Been listening to some Hubbard BN leader dates and while uneven, especially in comparison to Lee Morgan’s albums, they’re overall good records. Have to agree his best work is as sideman however.

Agree it’s a good album. Not my favorite from Sun Ra but worthy of a quality reissue for sure. AAA aficionados probably flipping out over this news.

I enjoyed this. Good music, gets slotted as “jazz” because it’s mostly instrumental but seems a lot of music is like that these days.

I have the same question

Joining the chorus of well wishes. I hope the procedures go well and you're able to recover fully.

Bottom line is that this is a fantastic record. Highly recommended

That Azymuth record is the bomb. Leaning toward picking up that reissue from Jazz Dispensery. Glass Bead Games is always excellent and Moon Rappin' has groove. Not sure how the Moody Blues crept in here, but the listen was better than expected. Hayward has some nice solos and as a psych period piece it's a fine album. The overt enthusiasm for acid that permeates the entire record is entertaining.

Playing Looking Ahead now and had to look up the vibes player. Surprised to see such a limited discography but he may have unfortunately passed too soon as noted above. Really enjoy him on this album

Another helpful tip for getting by those pop ups is to not allow temporary files from specific websites via your browser’s settings. That seems to work well with Twitter

While I don’t really enjoy what I’ve heard of that big band album, there’s 3 others I don’t have and the improved SQ, potentially informative liners and support for Mosaic put me in the market for this. Blue Spirits is a sneaky good album that I’d like to hear the Mosaic treatment on. Should be better than the RVG CD I have.

One case where the reissue is better by miles IMO. Smokin’ & playin’ with style

Holding out hope for 1 or 2…

Hopefully more info on bonus/never before released tracks will be forthcoming as well

Wasn’t Sun Ship originally released on Impulse? So the ability to dip into that catalog may have been there since the pre-UMG days but maybe that set was a special case…?

Great read, thanks for sharing the link. Also a nice comment from Barry Diament underneath.

Hell I've caught that barb while they're hooked and that ain't fun either.

Tyner's excellent Sahara. Love this album. Valley of Life on which he plays that Koto is outstanding

Exactly

I don’t think they’ve done any digital comps in near 10 years or more. Playlists have probably made them obsolete at this point.

They should try to expand these covers to take up more of the shirt and not just use the square box pic literally. Some good designs could come out of these Reid Miles covers…esp something like Sam Rivers’ Dimensions & Extensions

Great read. Streaming platforms give BN the ability to tie in legacy albums and artists to new ones and I think that’s why sublabels don’t and/or won’t exist. Their monthly playlists do just this, as do their (and Impluse as well) artist-selected playlists. Was seems to be taking a big tent approach and while I haven’t looked at BNs bottom line among other Universal products, it’s probably doing decent enough.

Great doc @Late. Thanks for sharing.
