    Besides his career as a cornet player on so many great jazz records in the '70s and '80s, Olu Dara made one of my favorite albums of all time as a singer/songwriter/guitarist/leader (and playing some cornet) in the late 1990s, In the World: From Natchez to New York. Man, I played that album to death around the turn of the millennium.

    To the conversation thread (and those with experience)...i have an organizational question as I organize under order.

    Is it ever practical to keep LPs in crates? The only benefit I gain from it is every now and then I feel like I found a new album as I sift through. But it makes deciding awful, even though I dig how they look (but the few keeps growing). I store most LPs on shelves but some genres in crates and it is a pain in the butt unless the crate is half loaded. But that makes no sense to half load a crate unless you own 15 records. I think they have to be lined up on a shelf so you can see what you’re doing. The idea of crates looks cool, until you want to browse. I like to keep Jazz separated from the rest and put Jazz in crates so I can look at the covers. You guys have extensive collections, do you find a way to see the covers in another or better way? Or is it true that shelving them is best?
    You’re Driving Me Crazy by Van qualifies as Jazz and it’s a good listen as it keeps me company through moving vinyl. I appreciate your help and this thread.

    Been listening to a great band. They play informal, improvisational music that’s fun to listen to, dance to, and drink to. This might not be jazz but it sure is fun.

    the band is The Skillet Lickers, with Gid Tanner and Clayton McMichen on fiddles, Riley Puckett on guitar and Fate Norris on banjo.

    A few weeks ago I found a first pressing of Volume 2, which meant I was now on the hunt for a first pressing of Volume 1. I found one on Discogs for a great price last week and today it arrived. I’ve streamed these for years but I’m glad to finally have them both on vinyl.

    Combined, these form a collection of everything Miles Davis recorded for Blue Note as a band leader.

    They’re also the first and second releases (1501 and 1502) in the Blue Note 1500 series, which were the label’s first 12” LPs.

    NP: John Coltrane - The Heavyweight Champions, Disc 1, but I will probably stop soon because this is my first listen to this material and the music deserves much better than the tiny speakers in my iPad (I’m in a hotel room, traveling for work).

    I like this material more and more as time goes by. I like to listen to the Japanese RVG LP facsimile cds--to me they sound fantastic! I also have the most recent Blue Note cd versions from both Japan and the US, and the "Pure Audio" Blu-ray.

    After spending most of the day out and about, I plan to spend today inside listening to some music, getting in a workout, straightening up the garage (to make space for my wife's car this winter) and just relaxing. Currently just doing the relaxing part and listening to "Introducing Nat Adderley" a nice release from 1955. It has the classic small combo feel and the musicians are the Adderley brothers, Horace Silver, Paul Chambers and Roy Haynes Not too shabby.

    That sounds interesting. I'm going to try and find it on Tidal and start my morning off with it.
    Thanks

    When Max Roach recorded "We Insist! Freedom Now", Downbeat Magazine published a long review which severely criticized the record and stated that there is "no room for politics in jazz"

    There is a long history of people who cannot see the connections between all things.
