    Thanks for the introduction to this album, I really like it though I've never come across it before. I'm listening to it now on headphones through Qobuz Hi-Rez (time of day, 6.30am here) and the sound is excellent to my old ears.

    We have been in our new house three weeks Wed. but my LPs are still in the basement of our old house. They are in 80 U-Haul boxes that hold around 90 LPs each, so I now for the first time have a general idea of how many I have, about 7,200. The movers will bring them to the new house Wed. It has 1,000 more square feet & a 2-car garage, but no basement. Meanwhile, most of my CDs are in a storage unit, and I have dug out quite a few boxes of prerecorded cassettes plus cassettes & CD-Rs made from public library sources. I need more shelving, but most of all I need time. Can I please live another fifty years at least? (I'll be 69 in 10 days.)

    Never seen that original cover art before. Very cool! It strikes me that ya don’t see too many fish eye lens shots on jazz covers.

    anyone have any nice examples?

    I remember meeting a guy who said, "Man, I wish I was 70!"

    69 was beyond his wildest dreams.

    Celebrate by ordering a box set for each of the following 10 days (or beyond).

    Nice post. The ephemeral nature of live music in the air is like the fleeting years that pass through our lives. Good thing we have both the memories and the recordings…

    Picked up on a whim:

    Tin Pan Aliens
    Hans Ulrik - Sax
    Steve Swallow - Bass
    Jonas Johansen - Drums

    Pretty straightahead stuff; nothing groundbreaking but very enjoyable. I love Steve Swallow's electric bass playing, one of few electric players where I don't wish the recording featured an acoustic bass instead.

    Up early and finally have the deck system hooked up with newly re-foamed Advent minis so enjoying the birs singing, the trucks noise off on the not-too-distant Turnpike and some Julius Watkins. French horn and some great sidemen playing on these nine cuts.

    My first exposure to Monk was a fantasy 2fer of this material found in the garbage many decades ago and I loved it on first listen. I find his music very accessible ( its calm , spacious, quirky or off kilter but not crazy out there ) and I think the negative reaction at the time , or slow acceptance, speaks to how some sectors of the jazz audience were very conservative ( not unlike the folk music scene) and as such it really sheds a light on the competing interests of that era. I happen to love the more conservative strains of jazz from back then too so I am not passing judgement, but rather I just find it interesting...

    FWIW, I really loved the regular band date portion of the expanded Mingus at Carnegie Hall. Don Pullen in particular sounds great -- jazz pianists rarely got to gig on better pianos in a room that sounded better for piano than Carnegie Hall! Jon Faddis too. Remarkably loose for an uptown Carnegie Hall show, but it was the '70s!

    Released as part of Tzadik's 'Radical Jewish Culture' series, this project - as the obi also sets out - explores Jewish contributions to the history of jazz from the 20s to the 50s. This results in quite modern sounding takes on diverse material, such as classic Abe Schwartz tunes and a beautifully played long version of 'Yiddish Mame', which led me to this even more intimate version of the song by Billie Holiday, sung at a 1956 rehearsal sessions with some background of her godchild Bevan.
