I honestly like it all, especially the Venus titles (and I'm NOT a Venus label fan) and the French releases. Definitely recommend: 1987 La note bleue (Ida) 1987 French Ballads (Ida) 1989 Wild Dogs of the Ruwenzori (Ida) 1990 Paris Moods (Alfa) 1991 Sanctuary (Ida) 1992 Dream time (Deux) 1993 Talisman (Ida) 1994 Le Ca: New York Romance (Venus) 1995 Passione (Venus)

Okay, I am seeing some of your points about the article as being off base, it's an article about one record label, and not film soundtracks or even early stereo recording in general. I was not addressing the thread as a whole. Discuss that all you wish, but don't expect more of that wiki article than it was designed to deliver. In that article they are taking about music intended to be released as commercial recordings on LP. Nothing whatsoever to do with film recording. Hope that's clear. I'm out of volleying back and forth. Yes.

Our discussion is one thing. Expecting that article to be something else is another thing. As Jim says it is what it is quite well within itself. Has nothing to do with an interest or lack of interest. Sure film scores are music, but they weren't recorded at that time primarily for release as commercial LP recordings as the recordings discussed in wiki were. And film recording stock is not the same as magnetic recording tape. I'm tired of arguing and don't want to argue. I just think you've put a tempest into that teapot of an article and enough weather is enough.

But since you're being so precise. . . they weren't "tape." Nor were they recorded with the intention likely of being commercially released as "records." I think the whole is meant to be viewed through the lens of commercial tape recordings of music to recorded with the intention be released for home music enjoyment. I can see that there's some confusion and that should have been spelled out. But it is a wiki article about a record company and their pioneering of commercial stereo tape recordings. . . no real reason to expect film technology discussed. To my way of thinking. Lon out.

I don't really see it that way but that's cool. I'm not invested in "films" . . . they don't mean nearly as much to me as "records" do. Anyway, if it's causing so much confusion the writing should have been better.

Whatever, I don't see that same emphasis myself necessarily and I interpret "commercial" to mean meant as music recordings for sale as music product. .

Maybe they are differentiating (I think correctly) "tape" and "film."

US release seems October, and perhaps cheaper or as cheap.

Yes, Leo Wright, what a great musician. One of the very first LPs I ever owned was "Blues Shout" on Atlantic, where he played alto on one side with Richard Williams, and flute on the other with Harry Lookofsky--Junior Mance, Art Davis and Charles Persip were the support. Fantastic album! I love the arrangements and playing.

Kenny Clarke. Ben Webster. Horace Parlan. Kenny Drew. Many more.

The last album I got to listen to last night. The Japanese RVG mini-lp version. Anthony (Tony) Williams "Spring" Blue Note cd Japan. I'd forgotten how involving this album is--from the first brush strokes in I was captivated yet again. Tony with Ron Carter, Sam Rivers, Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock. Wow. These Japanese RVGs are really sounding good for the most part on my system as it is now configured. I'm looking for more. I just purchased eight nicely priced ones I didn't have that I should have in a week.

We got three hours of sleep last night and an emotional morning and early afternoon. When we returned home I was able to listen to: "Helen Merrill Presents Tommy Flanagan Plays the Music of Harold Arlen" Gitanes Jazz. Wow. So much personality in these arrangements and playing. Grace and joy. Followed by: Helen Merrill/Dick Katz "A Shade of Difference" Gitanes Jazz. Smart, beautiful music.

Thanks Greg. Had the unfortunate task of telling her Mom before dawn, and have spent the morning with family. She was a vivacious and loving woman taken too soon.

Listening on headphones. We lost one of my sister-in-law to a final, fatal heart attack very early this morning. My wife is finally back to sleep for a few hours. This seemed comforting to me to play.

Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" Sony UltraHD32bit cd version. This is one of my favorite editions of this classic session.

Lou Donaldson and the Three Sounds "LD+3" Audio Wave Blue Note XRCD24 I'm appreciating Lou Donaldson more and more due to the 80th Anniversary reissues from Japan.

I have assembled all my Blue Notes in one area, as well as my Impulse! titles. I'm planning on doing the same with Mainstream, CTI and Savoy. I don't file anything by "genre." In years past I filed all by artist, alphabetically, but this century it's mostly chaos.

Blue Note for me.

Thanks for the update Ted.

I believe this is the "live material" set that was mentioned here months ago cryptically as permission was not given to divulge specifics.

DP 13 sold.

I love all four of the volumes in this series, but I probably play this one most. . . . Philippe Baden Powell, "Adventure Music Piano Masters Volume 2"

I wish them both a lot of luck and happiness.
