Well, I do have my mohair suit on

I had one of those back in 1968. Itched like hell. 😂

I could have appeared on a Liberty Blue Note cover (for kids) !

Next new arrival

The Quartette Tres Bien - Our Thing [Decca, 1967]

Another cheapie, vinyl in lovely condition. My first exposure to QTB.

I can't help but wonder whether they feature at @Teasing the KoreanMansions sometimes.

I have two of their albums!  A variation on the ubiquitous 1950s-60s piano trio format by adding bongos.  I would have all of them if I can find them, but that is a topic for another thread.  (Don't miss my upcoming Decca thread!)

Working my way through the Pearl (Delmark) reissue series from '89.

A few more reasons I miss Bob Koester.

Now spinning on my turntable:

Paco de Lucia - Almoraima (Philips, 1976)

Such a fantastic album!  So many disparate things converging to make a unique stew -- just like the country of Spain itself.

Wonderful indeed ....

I've never got my head around that series of comps. Mind you, I haven't tried that hard. Are there complete albums represented or a number of albums chopped across the reissues?

They always look tempting and you see them about quite a bit I think

[sidewinder]

Coming up on deck a bit later - Max Roach ‘Members Don’t Git Weary’ mono reissue on Arc Records and ‘Joy’ by the UK 70s band Joy on Cadillac Records (a welcome reissue).

I am bemused as to why the Arc reissue of Yusef Lateef ‘Detroit’ is nearly twice the price of the Roach and is IMO a lesser session. A case of the better it is, the less you pay.

The original albums are re-sequenced across the different volumes. I think everything is there; it's just re-arranged.  I wish the producers hadn't done that.  But the music is so irresistible that I just roll with it.

Thanks, not ideal as you say. The completest in me would demand that if I bought one I would have to buy all three 🙃

Maybe because the Lateef was RSD so has to have that premium priced in to make it attractive on that day (cynicism alert)

Yes, I suspect you are correct. Having said that, I like their reissues, the Shirley Scott was good.

Oh, I understand that way of thinking, for sure.  It doesn't make sense, but it makes complete sense.

One note: There are actually four volumes in the series.  I have three (so far), but I intend to get the fourth eventually to make my "set" complete!

Jason Adasiewicsz - Roy's World [Corbett v Dempsey, 2023]

Great to have a new album from JA, it's been too long. Although this was actually recorded in 2017 so isn't new work. I'd love to hear some new music from him, he played brilliantly with Brotzmann earlier this year.

This is typical of the music played by his Chicago generation, unsurprisingly given the band includes Abrams and Berman (with Hamid Drake representing the older generation). Great writing and playing. Saxophonist Jonathan Doyle is the only new name to me

Wow! What a great release this is. Amazing to to hear these tunes live with Dolphy. Dolphy’s flute is a bit far in the mix but part from that sound is pretty good.

The vinyl on the other hand…. Man they should be ashamed of themselves asking 40 euros for this. Both records warped, paper scuffed because of the paper sleeves and a very thin sleeve that comes already with ringwear when it’s fresh from the factory. They sell them anyway of course….

Literally just ordered a copy in the last 5 minutes having streamed it several times. Shame about the production issues but that's vinyl life 😃
