Tolliver's Impact on ENJA--Buyer Beware

[vodka]

Folks, if you're going to order this, ask your CD vendor to check the music of this album before shipping, as you can end up with Frank Tusa's Father Time like I did. A few weeks ago I ordered the Tolliver from Dusty Groove, and got the above-mentioned Tusa album, even though both the case and the CD itself had Tolliver's name and graphics.

Yesterday, I received the real Tolliver , and gotta say it is quite good. I did ask Dusty Groove to open and check the CD prior to shipping it to me.

funny, i got the Tolliver artwork, on the CD it is printed Frank Tusa - Father Time, but the music is Tolliver...

My copy is all Tolliver. Is it a collector's item now?

I would think so! Just don't forget to beware of the actual recorded sound, since it's close to unlistenable... :rsly:

unfortunately someone in the shop (?) has written the real contents on the CD with a black marker nevertheless on of my favorite CDs of the last months...

You must have much higher standards than me, it doesn't sound bad at all to my ears.

The sound of this version is good. I think Daniel is referring to the Impact on Strata East, which is a pretty much awful sounding album.

Yes, the sound is very good, as with most Enja live recordings from the 70's.

But with two albums from the same artist having the same title, confusion is inevitable.

I agree it's confusing, and I agree that the Strata-East album has lousy sound. Interesting since the earlier "Music Inc. and Big Band' on Strata-East has good sound (and is a GREAT album).

have another Tolliver and sound-quality related question... is there any reason to hope that the Black Lion edition of Live at Loorsdrecht is better than the (more recent and somewhat cheaper) Jazz Colours edition? I only have one Jazz Colours CD, Kenny Dorham Soul Support, containing Rocky Boyd's Ease it and the Dave Bailey album with Dorham (minus one track) and the sound quality is really not great (usually this doesn't bother me, but here it is a little too much...) Black Lion CDs are not famous for great sound either... opinions anyone?

I do not know the Jazz Colours edition, but unfortunately the Loodsrecht CD on Black Lion has very bad sound, compared to the original double LP. I gave it away and kept the vinyl. Another case of a Black Lion CD with bad sound (compared to the LP version) is Stanley Cowell's "Brilliant Circles" (which, anyway, has a couple of bonus tracks).

thank you! roughly this is what i was afraid of, as damusic don't seem do be putting too much effort into their jazzcolours series... will get it anyway i guess, but maybe not now...
