Mind numbing indeed - but in a good way! Usually I only find German ECMs here in the Netherlands but this happens to be a US LP. When I bought it, I considered leaving it in the bin to wait for a nice German copy. However, since the price was right and since I rarely ran into nicely priced Marion Brown LPs, I decided to buy it anyway. And I don't regret it: US ECMs tend to sound pretty good as well!
Today, I have a rare treat of a recommendation for you fine people... Sorry, I totally failed with that image. This should work better: Yoshio Suzuki + Tsuyoshi Yamamoto – Loving Touch (2020, CD) Let me know how you like it.
My apologies, I totally failed. This is the recommendation: Yoshio Suzuki + Tsuyoshi Yamamoto – Loving Touch (2020, CD)
Joe Henderson - Joe Henderson in Japan (Milestone, 1973) I'm making my way through the 1994 box set Joe Henderson: The Milestone Years (which features this same photo on the cover), and so far this is my favorite session--Joe touring Japan as a solo and hooking up with a local Tokyo rhythm section for an amazing blowout.
I only realized fairly recently that this album is virtually identical to this one save for two extra tracks...

Sure I understand different labels, different countries etc. but that still doesn't give me the answer why. To what purpose, to what benefit?
Yes. Check Phil McKnight's YouTube channel. He has the scoop on all the music industry stuff. Here's the link.
John Coltrane- Transition (Impulse! UCCI-9358) Trane was back at Van Gelder's on May 26th 1965 (with the Quartet with Roy Haynes on drums) and again on June 10th (with Jones on drums) to record the aptly named Transition. Recorded in 1965 but released only posthumously five years later, it represents the bridge between the lyrical Coltrane and the avant-garde Coltrane. Less than three weeks later, he would record Ascension. Of the five tracks made with Haynes on May 26th, only the beautiful Dear Lord would make the album. The others (Transition, Welcome and the five part Suite) were recorded during the June 10th session. Welcome also appeared later on Kulu Se Mama. Some versions of Transition contain Vigil that would be recorded June 16th and wouls also appear on Kulu Se Mama. An overlooked album, IMHO, it's one more essential recording from the John Coltrane catalog.
My uncle was a big man in the advertising world. He said that the "Truth in Advertising" Law took the fun out of advertising. It took the advertising world some time before they realized that totally irrelevant humor, with no bearing on the product, was effective advertising. I wish the advertising business would realize that absolute silence, no visual or audio advertising at all, would be far more effective.
Borderlands Trio - Wandersphere (Intakt Records Intakt CD-370) Received this album today from Amazon and I just finished the first of this two CD set. Amazing how this Trio of Stephan Crump, Kris Davis and Eric McPherson are "talking" with each other. Fantastic interplay. The first track (Super Organism) is 30 minutes of pure joy. Kris Davis is one hell of a pianist. Now on to the second CD !
I don’t quite understand how some of these old transfers can sound so good. Example: West 8th Street on Castle Ave. Vol. III"
Yonathan Avishai Trio, Montpellier France 7/20/21. Pro-quality sound from digital FM, mostly standards, each feels as fresh as line-dried Summer clothes. Sublime late-night listening.
