It had been on my wishlist for a while and when a copy in the US popped up a couple weeks ago I jumped on it. Picked up Tatsuya Nakamura's Rip-Off too just because of combined shipping but haven spun it yet. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 15, 2020 Report Posted June 15, 2020 I haven't heard Rip-Off but it looks good; the previous couple of ensemble records are excellent. Quote
Gheorghe Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 Today I was in the mood for that wonderful solo LP of Lee Konitz. Two extended versions of Bird associated songs. Really fine how Mr. Konitz works it out. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 Tone Poet version of ‘The Prisoner’. Lovely crisp sound, particularly Tootie Heath on drums - I’ll have to check against my Liberty but this will probably end up being the go-to version. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 Spinning Pete LaRoca's "Basra" off the recently released 80th Anniversary LP. This is a very nice sounding LP. Kevin Gray seems to be able to coax the right sounds out of these master tapes. Side 1 actually has what looks like the right amount of dead wax too. Side 2 is back to the typical inch and half of dead wax though. Quote

I guess though that they did a MM 2x45 - forgetting that I have that one somewhere. We are spoilt ! Quote

HutchFan Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Dollar Brand/Abdullah Ibrahim - Ode to Duke Ellington (Inner City, originally West Wind) A powerful tribute. Very personal, nothing rote about it. Edited June 18, 2020 by HutchFan Quote

Very personal, nothing rote about it. Was listening to that yesterday! Beautiful tribute indeed. The version of In A Sentimental Mood is beautiful and show some signs of the style he played in in his later days. Edited June 18, 2020 by Pim Quote
jcam_44 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 Luke Winslow-King - I'm Glad Trouble Don't Last Always. This was a bandcamp purchase when they waived artist fees. I've spun it twice since getting it yesterday, but the B side 4 times in total. This got me thinking how uncommon it is to enjoy a B side more than an A side, given most albums are constructed to be front heavy, or at least that used to be how you constructed albums. Quote

If not, you should be Yes, it is very good. Never heard a version of this one with Blakey’s drums so crisp. The trouble with this series is that buy one, it grows on you then threatens to take over your house like Day of the Triffids. They are not exactly small. Quote
