Damn -- RIP.

I am sure it will sell but I can't see buying this myself.

I assumed it was an overdub but I need to relisten as it's been a while since I've had this on deck...

100%

yeah, in this case I agree -- the Burrell debacle did raise some serious red flags.

That has tempted me before. Quite a bit cheaper as I recall.

The only one of her LPs I have is with Mal Waldron on Japanese Victor, but I like it quite a bit.

now that does seem ridiculous. Are their reissues always so expensive, or just this one?

I mean it's kinda on you if you don't want to buy a u-Turn record player or some similar entry level turntable and buy the occasional vinyl reissue/new release. This isn't that hard.

100 percent. I really don't care what format something is in as long as I can listen to it and enjoy it.

occasionally, though his day gig as a schoolteacher is somewhat prohibitive in this regard. Excellent player.

Too damn young. RIP.

Yep.

Irio de Paula - Balanço - (Horo, IT)

Though it would be great if they did, these aren't gonna fly off the shelves -- lotta copies in boxes over in Brooklyn!

Wow. RIP.

you do

What a life. RIP.

for what it's worth, a pirated LP version of Exchange was released a couple of years ago. It was incomplete -- missing two tracks from the original LP, even -- and apparently sounded like absolute junk. So anybody who spent $25 on that thing was just lighting their own money on fire. I guess the bootleggers probably made their money back but it seemed like a complete waste of time for everyone.

Good thing people aren't forced to own music on formats they dislike.

The sound of the vinyl is very quiet; I agree Cowell is low in the mix. This music was probably meant to document Ali's first gig as a leader, and not originally intended for release. I know Mr. Lizzi did a great job with what was certainly not the best tape situation to work with. Not sure who was actually running the recording device at Slugs' but it would not surprise me if they were fooling around with the unit and toggled between mono/stereo or something like that.

CDs are a harder and harder sell, though I do agree with you. I wish Triple Point, for example, would have done the Dixon-Taylor duo on CD. The wide dynamic range just doesn't work for cutting an LP.

Kicked to the curb. Audio engineering abbreviation I recently learned. I assume the digital release stipulations might have to do with how the estate wants this thing handled. Perhaps they do not want to have the entire thing streamable online or downloaded. Time will tell. I know of at least three additional sets coming down the pike in the next year or so. It'll be pretty interesting to hear the new (to us) material.

I actually dig Johnson on that LP set. The Duo Exchange sounds superb, really amazing, and almost makes me want to KTC the original. Almost.

listening to it on Bandcamp now. Hell yes.
