ordered the LP set, curious as to how up to par the vinyl is. Been burnt on some major label pressings of late.

Losing my Tampas this late in my career....

if it were west coast jazz-focused and penned for our beloved Chewy, it could be titled "Send In The Crowns"

Wow, this is great!

Yeah, I love Expression. Some of the first Coltrane I ever heard. regarding the session with Marion Brown above, I'd also read that Marion played alto on some of it. Too bad that the session is probably completely lost.

I agree, they're both excellent. I usually don't get too excited about the Wynton Kelly Trio with Cobb, but Joe seems to bring things up a notch.

I've had that one before. Isn't Sonny Clark on some of it (uncredited)?

I was there too! It was superb. Have my booster scheduled for this week.

Wow, major. RIP.

that is a good one!

those celebritynetworth clickbait sites are usually not accurate.

Damn. That's sad news.

yeah that is a superb set. Had the CD box and unloaded it once the LPs came out.

space-rock duo Windy & Carl in homage to Archie Shepp's "The Way Ahead"

yeah, I remember when that came out. never heard it, but the cover is fun. from about 15 years earlier, and California:

Pepper Adams -- Encounter! -- Prestige, blue label

oh yeah, you are correct -- have both of those LPs.

different sessions/music, same band. Top one is on Polydor, bottom on Fontana (obviously)

exactly

wow, this is amazing.

I have most of 'em up through Gallery, and they're all choice. The Trio 3 material I've heard (and seen) has been excellent. Can't think of too many clinker experiences when seeing him, whether in small group contexts or with orchestra. Solo is the one formation I feel like I haven't witnessed live.

Berger doesn't want -- or didn't want -- the ESP reissued, and from what I understand he was able to get the masters/rights back. The mix is quite bad, actually, so I understand. It's a great record but it could use some help. I don't know if he feels the same way about the Milestone.

gotcha, thanks -- actually, our 2020 Subaru came with a CD player. No shit.
