Update: I just played NYIN, and man, I was blown away. Tone Poets sounding great is no news at this point, but I was still surprised by how much pressence the bass has, and how crisp and detailed the drums sound. This could be one of the best sounding records in my collection, and needless to...

Thanks, thats the little push I needed.

Im about to pull the trigger on the Ornette Boxset. I like New York is Now and Golden Circle, but Im not as familiar with the rest of records on the set. I know theyre not essential Ornette, but would y'all say the set is still worth it for around 160 usd?

He had such a unique composing "voice", one it was hard for me to get into at first, but I now love. Im looking forward to the Classics reissue of his album Evolution later this year.

Cross post from the Pre-order thread. News on a Silvana Estrada vinyl release:

Not a preorder per se, but Silvana Estrada shared the test pressing of her album "Marchita" on her IG stories, which is the first notice of the record getting a vinyl release. The test pressing had an RTI label, so I assume that is where the pressing will be done, which is great news. I just...

Yep, these are the two "old" Tone Poets at the top of my wishlist.

If you liked Rosalia's latest album you should check this video out, where a music Youtuber breaks down the music and production along with her! Great watch, and with English subtitles.

Can confirm. Great blend of jazz, funk, hip hop and psychedelia. Also, Silvana Estrada features on a couple of tracks. I'll be grabbing the vinyl on the next Bancamp Friday.

Did Rosalia sample "How much a dollar cost" on her new song Diablo, or is she just using the sameish chords?

I mentioned it on my status, but I thought I'd share it here too: 2 of my most anticipated albums of the year are out today! Stromae - Multitude You may know him for his hit single "Alors on dance" from a while ago, but this guy is much more than what meets the eye. His last album "Racine...

Two of my most anticipated albums of the year are out today! Give the new Stromae and Melissa Aldana records a listen!

Good moment to preorder this record, which comes out in a couple of weeks. 2 teaser tracks so far, and both sound really good.

Man, she is just wonderful. I've had Marchita on repeat ever since it as released. Finger crossed for a vinyl release. Quick nerdy side note: I watched that video you posted and I suddenly realized the song is on 5/4 time, which is super rare for such a catchy tune! The album is also filled...

This isn't a Jazz-exclusive thinkpiece, but I thought I could share it here, since Ted is a renowned critic and historian among Jazz fans: Ted Gioia shares his thoughts on returning to vinyl after 34 years Pretty interesting read on the landscape of the vinyl industry, and the music business...

I just switched the cartridge on my TT (to one that has some use on it) and the signal volume seems to have dropped. Do different cartridges vary in output or is this a coincidence?

Ive been on a Ornette binge ever since the Blue Note boxset was aunounced a couple of months ago. I currently own only one record of his (The Shape of Jazz to Come), but as I look online for copies of my favorite Ornette albums, there seems to be quite a shortage of quality pressings on sale. I...
