I just got the new Downbeat and I felt the article about Zev Feldman was edited down for space too much, it deserved more. I assume that's why Zev's non-Resonance Records releases are shipping from Europe on Bandcamp? It's weird though because I can get them from Importcds without the ridiculous shipping charges.

jcam_44 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 I picked up the Bernie Worrell - Waves From the WOOniverse. It is excellent. Wasn’t sure it would be good how since it’s other artists finishing unfinished Bernie songs, but I am pleasantly surprised to be wrong.

The store also had a second hand copy of David Meeker's 'Jazz in the Movies' book so added that one too. All of the stores I visited seem to have sold their copies of the Bill Evans on Craft in super fast time. If you mean ‘Everybody digs…’, Honest Jons seem to have copies for sale on line. I have a good OJC reissue so not going for this. Am tempted by the Amancio D’Silva reissue. Again, this is stocked by Honest Jon’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised that they still have the Bill Evans still in stock as it flew off the shelves everywhere else. Their stock of the Zev stuff seems limited to just the two Sun Ra's though - maybe there is more to come. I have the Bill Evans on the big Riverside CD box but not otherwise on vinyl.

Clunky Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I got a replacement Lacy/Waldon set as my initial copy had a large arc shaped scratch on the B side( causing light clicks) . The replacement has a similar shaped mark although it doesn't affect the sound. Anyone else seen this issue with the Lacy/Waldron Mighty Warriors LP set. The sound quality incidentally is excellent and the performance as good as you might hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I had the same issue with the Latest, large but light scratch, very audible across side 4. Cue all the " serves you right for buying LPs" comments...😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiophile prices demand audiophile pressings....I'm still on the fence about the Rollins set. I think I'll stick to my CD order. The above issues don't persuade me that Elemental have QC sorted.

Ken Dryden Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I haven't purchased many RSD vinyl releases but they haven't blown me away. I made the mistake of buying the RSD Sonny Clark LP set from a Discogs seller a few years ago then failed to listen to it promptly. When I tore open the outer wrap, I discovered a chip on the edge of one LP, close to but not in the playing surface. Since I had waited so long, there was no way to exchange it or get a refund, even though it was obviously damaged prior to being shipped from the factory, as there was no loose chip nor was there damage to the sleeve. The pressings haven't always been quiet which is troubling given the higher price of RSD vinyl. Give me a CD any day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 (edited) Just a short post to say that I have received Amancio D'Silva 'Reflections' from Honest Jon's (overnight delivery - remarkable). It is a very good reissue - the white vinyl had me nervous but the sonics are good. Tony Higgins' notes are also very thorough and informative, including session reel photos. As for the Zev/Elemental/Jazz Detective releases I have picked up this time - no problems noted with any of them, including the Lateef.

Ken Dryden Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 (edited) I always have the nightmare that a sealed out of print boxed set that I have owned for a long time will have a defective or missing disc. Edited May 2 by Ken Dryden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopkins Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 (edited) I received today the CD of Nat King Cole - Live at The Blue Note Chicago. I am very glad I purchased it.Will Friedwalds's liner notes are interesting and summarize well the highlights of the music.

jazzbo Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Yes, I got mine a few days ago. Sound is decent and the music is great. John Collins and Lee Young (Lee is more felt than heard often, but still glad he's there!)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
