The Jazz Brothers - The Mangione Brothers Sextet (Riverside)DG Mono

I'm not the biggest fan of Chuck's later stuff, but this one's pretty good.

With a great sounding Sal Nistico.

[Great Finds]

Two vinyls that crossed my path today (cost was €10 each):

- a mint mono copy of the Charlie Parker Records 'Man With a Happy Sound' from bop singer Joe Carroll with two BN participants Grant Green and Conrad Lester in the accompanying combo! Thisonelooks and plays beautifully!

Nice record!!

[Introducing Duke Pearson's Big Band BLP-4276 question]

Is this a dedicated mono mix or is it a fold-down? Sounds like real mono to me, but then I don't know when Blue Note stopped making mono records.

This is definitely a mono copy.

[What music did you buy today?]

Bongo Madness

Buddy Collette Flute,

Don Ralké piano,

Don Tosti bass,

Tom Wofford conga.

Beautiful record. Great Sound. The record got a RCM clean and it has still some surface hiss.

Some day I will find a NM copy.

[What vinyl are you spinning right now??]

Archie Shepp - Live At The Pan-African Festival.

[Scratches]

My solution is buying used vinyl with visible scratches already on. I know that I am not responsible for them and I feel better.

[Help Me Name my Cats]

I suggest: Joki & Jutta.

Germans tenorman Joki Freund und pianoplayer Jutta Hip.

[Are you ready for some .... rugby]

Here ( Holland) highlights every match. TV5MONDE broadcast just the French games and that`s on our cable. But from quarterfinals every match. So I have to be patiënt. I expect the All Blacks for the Trophy.
