Willie Bobo is a strange choice. I like it, but yeah, weird choice. Storf isn't qualified to do this job tbh

I am in too deep with classics at this point, I have to keep going until they run out of business!Added Classics back for Willie Bobo but not even sure I want it,

Agreed, about half of it is pretty great while the rest seems like passable filler.
Could have selected a much better jazz album. That being said, I’m still sort of leaning towards getting it.

Disappointing choice. Really thought we were getting a Tito Puente album.

Having my eyes on the Speakers Corner release of that album, but 60 EUR for a decent copy sure is something.

It's fine. I'll keep it. It's a little bit like elevator music tho.

It being cut from the original tapes makes the decision slightly more difficult.

Was this supposed to be the blockbuster jazz album month?

This is also the only one i don't have. I saw the one you bought come up but you were quicker on the draw! But at that price I am happy that it went to someone like you who needed it than someone who would try and flip it.

Finally getting my Sister Rosetta Tharpe this month. Excited! This will be my fourth Classics record.
Well mastered elevator music! LOL I'm teasing. I'm sure it will be good.

Think I'll likely swap for SRT too. I'll give this another listen, but not feeling it yet.

Dang. Thought these were announced on Thursday. Hopefully didn’t miss any good swaps.

Often when I make a phone call and I’m put on hold I think, Man, I wonder if they have the original tapes to this hold music! It’d make a great release if QRP pressed it!
But seriously, there are some great moments in this record that are making me lean towards sticking with it...

Dropped Classics; want to see if my desire is still there for it next month.
...it’ll be available most of the year.

For your sake, I hope you're right. I would have employed that same strategy six months ago, but the way Classics sells out regularly now, I'm too afraid to sleep on anything I even remotely like.
I moved my "main track" from essentials over to classics. Even though I don't feel super excited by this pick, I've pretty much liked every classics that I've gotten so far regardless of whether I think I'm going to or not. I'm only going to add any essential picks on if I'm like super excited for the selection (this month ain't it).

Well, based on streaming the first half of this album, it certainly seems well recorded.
But all I can think about now is "Para bailar La Bamba"
For those looking for solid classic recordings though, this should be a pleasure for you.

Rudy Van Gelder was involved.
Dude was a recording genius.
