I’m looking for the miles Davis quintet stuff…. Anyone get the craft one step and able to comment on it?

Yeah I have the Craft 'Relaxin'' one step. Really good, clear pressing, no issues on my copy.

I would definitely recommend it but if this is your first venture into the albums from his 'first great quintet' then there are arguably better ones to look out for. I see Relaxin' as part of series (Workin', Relaxin', Cookin', and Steamin') which is better listened to as a whole in my opinion.

That would be sweet. The craft legendary prestige set looks interesting too…

I have the one step and agree with @Selaws —it’s excellent. But the AP should also be back in print at some point for cheaper. I Can’t remember off the top of my head but think all of the prestige sessions except Workin are part of the AP prestige reissue series. Recently got a mono Japanese press of Workin which is solid. Mine seems to be on some kind quiex vinyl (partially see-through).

I also have the craft prestige set but I hate the packaging (no album covers or sleeves really…it’s in a large book accordion format). And they aren’t sequenced as they are on the albums. From what I recall it sounds awesome though.

“Kofi Flexxx is a new ensemble conducted by myself which performs ‘Classical music’ minus class based ideological frameworks which underlie so many ideas of legitimacy, musicality and connection to (often imaginary) racialised lineages.

The only self imposed parameter is that the music affects the spirit and makes you want to move your ass. We call it ASSICAL MUSIC!”

This sounds interesting! Is there a bandcamp link or something?

I think that looks really cool. Why don't you like it?

I didn't know this set existed. The fact that its sequenced as per the sessions also makes it quite intriguing. Was there a booklet as well?

Yes, there's a 20-page booklet sewn into the binding at the front of the package. Some photos of it are posted with the discogs listing:

It’s annoying to take the records in and out of. I have a thing with records with annoying packaging that I end up barely listening to the albums. It’s too cumbersome to try to hold and take records out of but I don’t have a coffee table or anything to rest it on. I like having album art, which this has none of. And I like listening to albums in the proper track order. So while it’s well done, there are a lot of strikes against it for me. I think there’s a similar Coltrane set.
