clifford_thornton Posted August 23, 2023 Report Posted August 23, 2023 Nice selection. Had the Yusef and sold it; have the Free Improvisation and Khan; have heard the Bajas... I'd probably buy the Boulez if I saw a European pressing in a shop. Looks good. Quote
mjazzg Posted August 23, 2023 Report Posted August 23, 2023 Yeah, it's been a good day off's listening. Funny you say that about the Boulez, I was just looking at a German press of it. It is good Quote

Uneven, but some strong moments. More interesting music from Austria. Weren't Kleinschuster & Fehring not common leaders o the ORF bigband? Quote

Fehring was more a composer and became famous for other kinds of music than directly jazz I think. But it is true that he had founded the ORF Big Band in the early 70´s . But see, personalities like this were not let´s say "the cat´s you met around the corner in all them clubs, were you met the musicians every night". It´s possible that even Kleinschuster was not really such a cat you got easy in touch with, like let´s say Fritz Pauer. I saw Kleinschuster not so often in the clubs, but Pauer always was somewhere.

Pim Posted August 25, 2023 Report Posted August 25, 2023 Again the Pepper box. Music that probably everyone around here already owned and enjoyed for long time but I had a hard time enjoying Pepper for a long time. But I had a similar thing with Jackie McLean who I now regard as one of my favorite sax players. Anyway this excellent Japanese 3LP contain three of the Village Vanguard nights. Excellent compilation in excellent sound. Enjoying it very much. Another cool cat I enjoy very much. This would be a great selection for the Craft Contemporary series. Side A sometimes sounds Third Stream in my ears. Very interesting stuff with great playing by the whole band. Quote
Clunky Posted August 25, 2023 Report Posted August 25, 2023 Hacke Bjorksten----- All star sextet-----(Sonet Sweden) EP 1957 EP with a slightly more muscular west coast sound. Sonet pressing looks like a mogul field with multiple small 2-3 mm rimmed craters in the vinyl. I've only ever seen this pressing defect on other Swedish Sonet EPs. Plays through despite this. Quote

Not that rare on Sonet EP originals, alas, but it can happen on LPs too. Some of these seem to deteriorate distinctly with age. I have also observed this (though rather more rarely) on Metronome EPs. Maybe it's the pressing plant (i.e. certain orignal pressings?) that is at fault? Quote
HutchFan Posted August 25, 2023 Report Posted August 25, 2023 Just finished this LP and enjoyed it so much that I'm giving it a second spin: Barney Kessel - Summertime in Montreux (Black Lion, 1973) Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted August 25, 2023 Report Posted August 25, 2023 with Jimmy Forrest, Tommy Flanagan, Keter Betts and Bobby Durham. Typing this caused me to notice 6 sets of double letters. Quote

JSngry Posted August 26, 2023 Report Posted August 26, 2023 They were bigger deals than most of the first Prestige ones because Riverside had all but disappeared. Hard to imagine it today, but Riverside, Savoy, a lot of Verve, a good portion of Blue Note, and God knows how much prebop had vanished from general circulation in the early 1970s. Maybe more things are vanishing now, but once digital, always available in some form or fashion. Quote
