Another new Tone Poet. It will be interesting to compare with the NY mono but first impressions are good, although I haven’t got to the reported piano warble yet. Probably my favourite of Sam’s Blue Notes and lovely to see with the gatefold photos.

Yeah that’s a great one. Great pressing and even better music.

There is a brief piano warble at the start of ‘Euterpe’ on side 2 track 1 but I don’t find it a show stopper. Don’t recall this on the Conn CD, will need to check. Otherwise, this is a very good pressing. Flat and no non-fill etc.

Third TP of the day. The music is even better than I remember it and the sonics and pressing quality excellent. This one is a bit of a sleeper !

Terrible? On the Chiaroscuro LP or just in general? I always thought the stuff I streamed sounded OK but not really terrible. I should pick this up just for this track alone:

 

The version available on streaming services sounds fine. Elmo Hope is fascinating, and we get a long Gilmore solo on Night in Tunisia as an added bonus.

Next up:

Barbara Thompson's Paraphernalia (MCA UK, 1978)
with Colin Dudman (kybds), Roy Babbington (b), and Harold Fisher (d, perc)

I've only just recently discovered Thompson's music.  I have this LP, the debut of her band Paraphernalia, and Wilde Tales, the second LP from the same group.  I'm enjoying them both very much.  

Any suggestions as to where I might turn next?  I know there's a 14-disc BBC set available, but I'd rather keep exploring individual albums before taking the leap on such a big box.

Striking album cover design.   

I bet the music's terrific too.  (But I've never heard it.)
