With respect to the supposed molested chiledren, but I think the worst thing about it is that we will see a new Michael Jackson's record!

If some of you are interested in young trombonists, maybe you should have a listen to this guy http://www.gianlucapetrella.com/ I heard him some weeks ago in a trio with a drummer and an organist (I think he played an original Hammond of late fifties, not really sure) and they smoke. Standards, R'n B, Hard Bop...you name it! Actually I never heard his records as sideman but the concert was great. BTW my vote is for Roswell.

Absurd! The only reason for this is trying to sell a OOP and rare title to an obscure and illegal label of Cayman islands that will produce some illegal and obscure edition of this title.

Wow! This man has some problems with criticisms. I would like to hear a comment of Chuck about it.

Thanks. Trane's discography on Impulse! is such a mess: Impulse!, Abc Impulse! Grp Impulse! vinyls and cds. It's really hard to get most of Trane's music w/o having dozens of dupes. I wish a Columbia/Davis/Cuscuna treatment for Trane's Impulse! recordings, possibly with Mosaic vinyl editions The discography on the web http://www.jazzdisco.org/trane/dis/c/#610523

I presume that the four volumes of ABC Impulse contain Alternates, Outtakes, Live perfomances that for some reasons where not included in the previous LP. Some of this material appeared in the CD remastered series, am I wrong? Any additional info?

Agreed on all ajf67 comments. Actually I have some Lou Reed's records on RCA's flexy vinyl that sound ok.

As someone pointed out 'this thread was started to discuss what people like', but I will add my opinion about 'world music'. I think that, before cd's era in the so called 'Western World' all non classical/jazz/rock music consisted of Bob Marley and national folk music. Bob Marley was more or less assimilated to rock music, like folk oriented groups like Pentangle. 'National folk music' is a term that indicate a national market for national music, so I would include italian singers from Napoli and irish traditional music, country and western, french chansonniers, ecc. Before start to arguing consider this: in a country different social/etnic groups express different culture (music) and create a market for this music, like old 'race records'. All non 'western' music was also a market for immigrants, mostly cassettes. Countries like France and Uk who has big and strong communities of immigrants developed strongest markets for music. The development of relationships between different ethnic groups, and the affirmation of etnic groups in term of social acceptance, economic situation, ecc pushed the market of this music. If you consider that a lot of 'world music' is traditionally music for dancing you can see how white teen agers started to appreciate african music at the discos. Peter Gabriel, Ry Cooder and others enlarged the market for this music. Do we have to blame them? Did they stolen the music from blacks, to follow the accuses of Davis and other black jazz musicians toward white jazz musicians? My answear is no. On the contrary I think they provided new opportunities for musicians who live outside the 'civilized word', and gave us the opportunity to discover new music, otherwise hardly accessible. Don't forget that we hadn't Internet at that time, and if you wouldn't have a pakistan community in your country and a some sort of relationship with it, probably you wouldn't have discovered Nusrath Fateh Ali Kahn. There were also few people that have a specific interest for this music, I remember that trading hard to find records and cassettes of Fela Kuti it was a sort of 'secret society'. Consider that a part cities like Paris, NY, London and few others, it was almost impossible to find this music some years ago. 'World music' will remain a niche market, like jazz or classical music. During the Real World explosion people bought 'world music' because it was the new thing, because it was exotic, because they were curious, for a lot of different reasons. Now we have a market for 'experts'. It's nothing different from jazz or classical, people started with Mozart or Brubeck and ended with Schoenberg and Brotzmann. Now we have specialized shops with more specific shelves, from Kora to Finnic tango, nothing different from specialized shops of jazz and classical music. In most common shops they file M. Buble with O. Coleman, B. Spears with J. Hendrix, if I wish to buy some particular music I go in a specific shop, what's the problem? The term 'world music' is obviously innacurate, but it makes sense. Could you provide an accurate definition of 'jazz' who include every aspects of the music, from stride piano to Wheater Report, from Lambert, Hendricks and Ross to John Zorn, a part 'jazz is what we (or a particular group of people) call jazz'? Categories make sense in a communication process, from general to particular. Anyway if I would start a new thread for every different music I listen to, this would be the Porcy's forum P.S. English is not my language, as you have noted, so consider 'cum grano salis', the above terms like 'ethnic','black', ecc..

Near & Middle Eastern World Music Thread
porcy62 replied to White Lightning's topic in Miscellaneous Music
I am listening to 'A New Hot One' of David Krakauer. Whow, I forgot I had this cd. I realized I have a lot of so-called 'world music' (not a great definition, all the music coming from the world, a part Sun Ra). I remember how great and exciting was discovering Nusrath Fateh Ali Khan and Ali Farka Toure twentyfive years ago. (I know, I know Coltrane and friends discovered WM twenty years before me). I think I bought almost all the Real World cds, and from World Circuit, Label Blue, ecc. Maybe it depends on my love for travelling, I still have somewhere the cassettes I bought in Burma, India, Morocco... (my tape deck passed away years ago). -
Well, you have to admit that 'Near & Middle Eastern World Music Thread' was hard to imagine in a forum's search! I will move my post in your thread!

Wolff is right. I have the Classic's reissue, I wasn't impressed by the sound at the first listening, but it was the first time I listening to the record, so I was followin the music more than sound quality. At the moment I am listening to records with a crappy and old system borrowed by a friend, because my system is at assistance, so I wouldn't be able to made a review, but as soon I will get my system repaired I will do an analytical listening.

Just a few classical records I got from ebay, at ridicolous prices and in NM condition: Beethoven, 8* and 9* Symphonies, Karajan, mono DGG first pressing. Mahler, 1*, 2*, 3* Symphonies, Solti, Decca stereo first pressing.

The only UK vinyl reissues I know is Simply Vinyl, (mostly rock titles) and I don't like them. Talking about japanese pressing, I don't know the King's BN, but usually I find jap pressing deadly silent on great vinyl quality, great definition but a little 'thin', at least in the records I have.

Re-mastered? Do you mean 'mastered from original master tapes in an all analog process'?

I have a Linn Akiva, according to most high end gurus, aka Stereophile, it seems to be one of best stylus cut, (line contact) for worn records. I could get a TT that accepts 2 arms, but I should part with my LP12, no way! Anti-skate is useless. Anyway when I will go to my gear smuggler to get back my repaired amps, I will bring TT to him, to have a check up from an expert.
