  1. Also clarinet... Modern Jazz Quartet with Jimmy Giuffre at Music Inn... love the vibes and clarinet conbination... apart from beautiful, slinky music it's also stunningly well recorded - every breath, every shimmer. Found my vinyl copy in a flea market literally around the corner from my house. By the way, is there a secret to capturing images small enough to upload (0.1MB)?
  2. I still use a cassette adaptor. Usually to plug in a digital radio for BBC 6Music on the weekend (Hughie Morgan, Gilles Peterson, Cerys...), but occasionally my old Walkman when I feel like going old school...
  3. Was gonna add this but I'm busier than ever working from home 😐 Well played.
  4. I've been compiling one on Spotify... just added I Don't Wanna Be Kissed (thanks) - sorry Dmitry, that's the only jazz track... actually, I'll probably add some of the suggestions from this thread - a way of feeding a little jazz to the family, friends and colleagues I'm sharing this with... https://open.spotify.com/user/merynella/playlist/2itlRemximyb62p37LxkFP?si=yYF2CBTATRaTsGtSPtrILg
  5. I think mine was The High and Mighty Hawk - Coleman Hawkins, but could have been Giant Steps
  6. Similar experience... plus listening to his radio show...
  7. I've always thought 'dynamic range' and 'dynamics' are two different things, one being the difference between loudest and quietist sounds on a recording and the other being the difference between loudest and quietist simultaneous sounds. It's been a while since I've taken much interest in things audiophile and I'm not finding the sources online to confirm this now... am I talking rubbish?
  8. MG, Shame if it's not your type of thing. Krantz/Carlock/Lefevre are world class and with a unique style. They've had a connection with Cardiff/Brecon for years, with some kind of relationship/friendship with the late Jed Williams, and thanks to that there's a community of fans in Wales, one of whom is taking the chance to put them on at short notice - too short for proper publicity - so would appreciate if you'd mention it to anyone you think may be interested. Cheers.
  9. Wayne's trio with Carlock and Lefevre. Short notice arrangement. Hopefully one or two on this board within range.
  10. I finally found the LP online (what a buzz!). It's on it's way.
  11. Anyone know the latest on 'Out On Up' which was apparently due out in June last year?
  12. I'm still looking to complete the set of Library of Congress recordings on LP - anyone know how the Riverside LPs compare with the Swaggies and CJM?
  13. Can anyone recommend a tool to help me split WAV and MP3 files into two or more? I'm using Total Recorder to record internet radio and want to chop a few things up to fit onto CD. Thanks.
  14. Evan Parker's latest, Time Lapse, is already on emusic . Enjoyed the first listen - solo, but with overdubbing and occasional electronics.
  15. Bennie Maupin - Penumbra Billy Bang - Vietnam Reflections Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds Yusef Lateef - Cry! Tender Roscoe Mitchell - Solo(3)
  16. David, how are you getting on with your Total Recorder trial?
  17. The Pure Pleasure pressing of Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus is superb - very quiet, with sound much better than my French LP, which was better than the UK CD. Pricey, but worth it for a favourite. It's mono, not stereo as described on the sleeve - apparently they found the stereo tapes were too poor after they'd prionted the sleeves.
