Gheorghe Posted January 2, 2023 Report Posted January 2, 2023 12 hours ago, Brad said: In what way? Somehow Mingus and Max are not always "Hand in Glove" like I had expected. And as much as I love Ellington´s compositions, I fear I like it more if it´s played by other pianists. I had similar problems when listening to the "Duke and Trane" thing. But music is something so great that I like to state that it could be my own fault if it didn´t get as much to me as it should be supposed. Quote
Pim Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 First out of two batches from Japan plus Khan Jamal’s Drum Dance to the Motherland that I picked up from a local seller. These arrived from Discogs seller Ella records. Very satisfied as usual: well packed and fair prices. Not like European or USA sellers that ask +30 E above the median price. And what I like most is there sincerity in grading. This Meditations sleeve got rated VG. With most EU sellers these days that means bent corners, edgewear, a cut out plus some ringwear. Now this is what VG looks like according to this Japanese seller Quote

Sure it'll be good too I'm looking forward to hearing them! Just curious: Among the Gunter Hampel albums in your collection, which two or three (or four) are your favorites? I'm only just now getting started collecting his music, and I have no idea which ones are the most highly regarded. Quote

Tough call but without overthinking it, here's six, couldn't get it any lower 😀 '8th July 1969' 'Wellen Waves- Berlin Soloflight' 'Oasis' duet w. Jeanne Lee 'That Come On Down' 'People Symphony' 'Heartplants' very early but very good That being said I haven't been disappointed in any I've bought. I will be very interested to hear what you make of your imminent arrival. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 Gunter Hampel + Jeanne Lee (Wergo) 8th of July 1969 (Birth) Espace (Birth) Music from Europe (ESP) People Symphony (Birth) Oasis (Horo) Heartplants (SABA) looks like I have 15 or so kicking around here, but those are some favorites... Journey to the Song Within is really strong. I have it with a white cover & pics of Hampel and Murray among others... The Traveler is a beaut as well. Quote

Pim Posted January 27, 2023 Report Posted January 27, 2023 Finally part 2 of my Japanese batch arrived today. Collective birthday gift from my whole family for which I am very, very greatful. Part from the Marion Brown I already owned the others on cd but as they are among my five star albums I still wanted to have a good vinyl copy. Quote
