Vinyl releases on pre order

Thanks just ordered.

I agree the Decca Jazz reissues I’ve bought so far have been excellent wether or not a vinyl reissue has a digital step is irrelevant so long as the sonics are on point this is especially true if the original first press release is so rare that it’s cost is ridiculously prohibitive.

Surya Botofasina - Ashram Sun, Spiritmuse Records (2024)

Brought up inside Alice Coltrane or Swamini Turiyasangitananda’s Ashram in California Surya’s music is very spiritual I enjoyed his debut Everyone’s Children though not enough to buy it and of the two songs available to stream from Ashram Sun only Your Soul is Perfect really resonated the other (The Circle) of Compassion just didn’t.

Harry Beckett - The Modern Sound of Harry Beckett - On U Sound (2024)

Released on vinyl for the first time I believe is Adrain Sherwood’s excellent recording with Harry Beckett. I’d heard Harry Beckett’s On U Sound recording but was really surprised to know that the two had met because of HB’s work on several Jah Wobble records in the early 2000’s all well worth a listen too.

Tyner McCoy & Joe Henderson - Forces of Nature (Live at Slugs, NYC) 1966, Blue Note (2024)

From Promo,

Forces of Nature: Live at Slugs’ is a thrilling, never-before-released live recording of jazz giants McCoy Tyner and Joe Henderson, captured at Slugs’ Saloon in 1966. Joining them are bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Jack DeJohnette, forming a powerhouse quartet. The performance, unearthed from DeJohnette’s personal archives after nearly six decades, showcases the intense musical chemistry between Tyner and Henderson, who were central figures in the 1960s jazz scene. The recording, originally engineered by Orville O’Brien, brings the energy and creativity of this 1966 set to life. With expert mastering by Matthew Lutthans, the sound is crisp and vibrant, transporting listeners back to the legendary Slugs’ Saloon. Forces of Nature is a amazing look into an era of jazz brilliance.
