@Skeptikal, are you mainly vinyl Sir?

@MrDom
Hi
I’m pretty much a fifty fifty collection wise between Vinyl and CD but don’t do any streaming.
Much prefer the Vinyl format but new Vinyl is a bit of a gamble these days.
Regards.

Wynton Marsalis with members of JLCO.

Recently released live concert recording from 2006.

Sacrilege or helping to keep the flame burning?

Either way it’s a lot of fun.

Streaming on Qobuz/Roon.

Enjoy

Dave

Loving listening to this tonight.

New to me and so far I’ve only played side 1 which is a trip.
I’ve spent too much on high end Classical and Jazz vinyl recently , so I decided to ‘economise’ and buy this version of an album I didn’t know. It’s not a gatefold and doesn’t seem to have quite the clarity of a tone poet gatefold type release ( though it sounds very good).
Is there a better, tone poet style version out there?

There is an issue from the Acoustic Sounds series available and it sounds fantastic :+1:

LondonJazzCollector pulled this out of his shelves for a listen. It reminded me what a fine record it was.Duke I always think of as Bud Powell lite.
Dizzy a fine,secure,steady horn not prone to visit the stratosphere or engage in endless poorly executed lines. The other three,priceless.
I have no interest in LJC’s vinyl arcanery but his musical comments are always perceptive.
On Qobuz.

If you are of a certain age….old… he has a feature on a Harry South album,sadly not on Qobuz but with some fine pictures from the days of yore.

Another London Jazz Collector prompt - I haven’t played it for years. Good sound which seems to fall away on the later tracks.

Those two Harry South 4CD sets on R&B Records are the bees knees!

Released on August 11 (digital only): Flow by Slowly Rolling Camera, personnel:

  • Dave Stapleton - Keyboards
  • Josh Arcoleo - Saxophone
  • Stuart McCallum - Guitar
  • Elliot Bennett - Drums
  • Verneri Pohjola - Trumpet

If you look up “build-up” in the Grove dictionary, good chance you’ll find track 5: “Connected”

Bit more Duke Jordan. Three elderly gentlemen enjoying themselves.
Wilbur Little and Roy Haynes.
Decent sound apart from the engineer failing to capture Roy’s cymbals properly.
Qobuz.

Nice! I bought that as a Linn Selekt LP/Jasmine pressing back when dealers were selling those rekords :+1:

I second @krautnaimie the Acoustic Sounds Series is recommended.
Although I’m very fortunate to own a copy of the very well regarded Alto Analogue issue, but thats going to cost you a bankers bonus these days I believe

I’ve been enjoying Red Garland - Soul Junction since randomly coming across it browsing Qobuz, I posted it recently.

Now a little bird told me if you like that then you need this…

All Mornin’ Long

From the same session as Soul Junction making for an excellent double bill.
