Quick update - a lot of the Impulse!/Verve "Vital Vinyl" drops have been revised (again!)

Others have actually been posted for preorder via Amazon:

July 12 - Impulse!/Verve "Vital Vinyl"
Archie Shepp – Fire Music	Vital Vinyl			Amazon	$25
McCoy Tyner – Inception	Vital Vinyl			Amazon	$25
Ella Fitzgerald – Sings The Cole Porter Songbook	Vital Vinyl			Amazon	$35
Charles Mingus – The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady	Vital Vinyl			Amazon	$25

The 2019-20 Jazz Reissues (Needles & Grooves) spreadsheet has been fully updated to reflect the changes. (Cross-posted on The Blue Note thread)

Sweet! Was about to ask yesterday why they haven't dropped these anywhere with the release date coming up. Man you are on the ball. Need the Shepp and McCoy

Fantastic, I have been waiting to get a copy of Charles Mingus – The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady. Has anyone picked any of these from the series up yet and can comment on quality?

Also, any idea why Ella is $10 more than the rest?

I think the Ella is probably more because it’s a double LP.

The Alice and Jazz Samba Classics Records are part of this series. I have a couple on the way - Evans and Nelson. I will be ordering the Mingus through my shop. The Jobim record that amazon couldn’t send me was part of the series. Supposedly they are high quality pressings of hi res digital.

This. The Analogue Sparks was three and is sublime.

Yeah I heard great things about the box but I really don’t want to drop $60+ on it haha!

No pressing unfortunately, so I think that rules it out.

Is anyone planning to resurrect that great ECM thread we had earlier.

I came across Chick Corea's Return to Forever and wow, i find the direction he takes on this fantastic. Previous exposure was only to the Blue Note Tone Poet release which I found underwhelming and his playing to be sort of like:

But the ECM release is like...

sexy stuff

Underwhelming is not an adjective I had ever seen asociated to Corea's playing. And while I do see why you would love Return to Forever more (I tend to lean more towards that group too), his playing on Now he soings, Now he sobs is way more adventurous and in your face. I'm not saying you have to like it, but I wonder what is it that you found underwhelming and *inser Bill Nye ig here*-ish on that record.

Wasn't my thing and I found it really boring. Perhaps the style itself isn't for me. It's hit or miss with a lot of Jazz piano albums for me.

I've been planning on it. Just need to get around to it.

I bought that ECM RTF album when I was in high school after hearing Now He Sings. And than I bought the RTF Romatic Warrior not as good by a mile.

I'll get around to getting this set up proper, but for now...give me a ECM Pat Metheney album I should listen to on the way home.

Not a real Jazz guy; but I find myself enjoying Piano driven Jazz.

Digging this Bill Evans Trio - Sunday At The VV

Any recommendations? Thanks.

NO!!! A jazz attack happens every day at noon. You should see that carnage. Pieces of 3 chord punks everywhere.

Early McCoy Tyner on Impulse! - Inception, Today and Tomorrow, Live at Newport, Nights of Ballads & Blues

There might even be some early Herbie Hancock you might enjoy.

Seriously though, people here are more than helpful. Check out Brad Meldau if you like Evans.
