  1. Asante is an incredible album, perhaps one of Tyner's best.
  2. I've listened to an original before -- this has a little less murk to it and a bump in clarity. Not a drastic difference, just a bit of brightening in the corners.
  3. We all know about Crapton's tendencies. This should come as no surprise. Barf.
  4. ah dang! yeah I can tell that's not the problem at least. yeah mine does have a click at the beginning of track B2, during a solo tenor cadenza.
  5. Got it, but side B of the first record is very scuffy -- seems to play okay but I am nevertheless going to ask Resonance whether a replacement of that disc can be procured.
  6. I have that Horo, it's really nice.
  7. https://www.thewire.co.uk/audio/tracks/wire-playlist-yusuf-mumin-and-the-black-unity-trio
  8. Ah ok, I only have heard the Arnhem stuff so this is even further expanded. Most stores here are not carrying the set on vinyl but I think JRC is. Hope there's no scrum to get it!
  9. Agreed on both counts -- I have several of them and they're all excellent.
  10. oh, and of course there's this somewhat more contemporary outfit: https://www.discogs.com/artist/70515-School-Days
  11. Jacques Coursil -- Black Suite -- (America, FR)
  12. Giorgio Buratti -- My Soul in Performances -- (Bentler, IT)
  13. never had it, but if I ran into a copy in a shop I would buy it.
  14. Back cover image of this album:
  15. Velvet Underground -- Sweet Sister Ray -- (unofficial boot, 1980s)
  16. bummer! I'm sure they'll replace it.
  17. those Black Lion digital releases are strange. They also did a Jym Young Trio that's pretty cool -- would be nice if they'd put this stuff out on CD with proper attribution, but maybe that's asking a bit too much!
  18. Ah yes, a real stunner! (mine is stereo) Had a great time many years ago interviewing Graham -- wonderful man, he is missed.
  19. Now, wasn't Gravatt living in Minneapolis or at least that area for some time? I am pretty sure I saw him with McCoy at least once.
  20. Well, I only have qualms about gatefolds when there's not extra music or some super-deluxe look. It's a thin gatefold, nice printing but that's about it. I think an insert could have covered it.
  21. ah nice, never saw him in person though I've listened to him on record a fair amount.
  22. They wouldn't both fit on a single album so I assume this is either a 2CD or an edited set. Both are great of course. For Losers is okay. I listen to Kwanza quite a bit and dig it.
