According to www.amazon.com and www.bestbuy.com there's a Sony Legacy box set coming out, Complete Duke Ellington '51 to '58. . . . A Drum is A Woman at last!
Thanks all! Have a had a mellow day so far, and hope to have a nice evening. Have some Miles spinning and so far the AC is keeping up with the heat outside. That's good!
Well, now through October, WD-41 will be the "host" of all Thursday night sessions at Kenny Dorham's Back Yard, Austin, TX.
Wille Oteri, guitar, Dave Laczko, trumpet.
And I'm glad these sets are available for new jazz listeners. These are great packages for those new to jazz to legally acquire the music cost-effectively in great sound.
Probably not. It's a personal thing. Mingus is very important to my listening world, and I would like to have new re-masterings of those final albums. I also like these box sets, all the material is one place, and I like pulling out a box and listening to some discs. So it was clear to me that the box set was something I would have.
Back to this three lp box set. I can't believe how good it sounds on vinyl. I have the cd equivalent. No contest!
I love Teagarden. One of my favorite musicians.
I've been frustratingly waiting for my copy of this. Shipped on the same day as my Weather Report set, which I received on Monday.
I think yes, there are new remasters here, especially likely for the later albums in the set. I heard from one fellow jazz collector who says these final albums sound improved.
I've enjoyed a few of these this year. It says "Smooth" on the label, and that's truth in advertising. I don't drink much, and I usually try something different when I do.
I like Alphas. Somehow I managed to miss the last two episodes of the first season, but I'm muddling through the new one somehow.
Me too, it must be catching.
Thought I'd watch a couple of episodes but ended up watching it all in two sittings.
Season 4 was fantastic! They could have ended it there. Somehow I'm not as keen on this season. . . Walter is an ever-increasing asshole and it's not quite as good for me.
