As I understand it, the first batch of Connoisseur releases were the rarest Blue Note LP titles, with Tina Brooks' "True Blue" likely the rarest of them all. I seem to remember an eBay auction back then where someone paid close to $10,000 for a copy. It's not surprising then, that his name was not well known in Europe because it was not really well known in the US until the Mosaic box.

  I don´t know  very much about what series and wat special releases or editions something is. And I´d pay 10.000 euro only for necessary things if I need a craftman to fix somethin´in or on my house....., and even if 10.000 euro meant only "pocket money" for me, I´d rather spent it for 2 weeks holiday on a Greek Island or in Turkey or so...., or my wife might spend it on fashion and shoes, I even understand THIS better than paying it for a CD copy....😉

I´d rather earn 10.000 from my music, if it´s about music😀

So, if I get a CD before I listen to it, I don´t know more than that it is round and has a hole in the middle 😉

It´s only the music, that counts for me, and Tina Brook´s album "Back to the Track" is very fine, though I must admit at 1960 there were more daring outputs, that I´d listen if it must be from 1960....
Tina Brook has a very nice light tone, but it sounds else than Hank Mobley. 
The best Tina Brook I heard was his solos on a live Kenny Burrell CD, and on one of those Jimmy Smith jams, I never knew which is which....

I this the album Newks Time or how is it titled. Is it the one with Asiatic Raes the KD composition and with the Surrey with the Fringe on Top just in duo with Philly J.J. ? Then it is IMHO the best of the early BN albums Rollins did.

Thanks for remembering me to Tina.

One of the few Golia LPs I've kept hold of

One of my favourites, mainly due to Carter. I came around a little late for Golia, and his stuff is not easily accessible online, so I never quite got to grips with his discography and who he was. Same for other players of the era like Chapin and Erhlich.

Oh, what a beautiful morning. Looking forward to a brunch we will have with my sister-in-law Bridget and her husband Dan. My favorite in-laws. Don’t tell the others.

Starting off wtih a great listen.

Still sort of mystery (to me) why this release didn't receive more acclaim in 2023 ....  Billy Valentine strolls soulfuly through sort of "Alternate American Songbook" (Curtis Mayfield, Gil Scott-Heron, Stevie Wonder and Prince to name a few) ....

I thought that too. I am not a huge fan but it seemed very on point at the time.

Mysterious. . . no promotion of this would be the easy answer. It's a good album indeed.

Nubya Garcia “Source”

I am finally listening to Nubya Garcia, the cd that so many were thrilled by.

It’s good. Maybe it will rub off on me and charm me more. But it’s good.
