Are you referring to the actual artists or the actual recordings? If the former then I don’t understand but if the later, why then I do understand. There are plenty of very nicely recorded live shows, especially from Europe, by top tier artists available and, this is important, now in the public domain. In other words, royalty free.
So if someone has a way to obtain some low generation copies of a 1960’s show from, for example, Denmark then a record, CD or whatever can be issued and hopefully some money made.
There were quite a few very good Quebecois groups in the 1970s. Cano and Harmonium were two of the best. https://i.imgur.com/Vzm2ncQ.png https://i.imgur.com/0G4Df1u.png
I have several LPs of each group. You can sample them on Tidal and Qobuz to see if you like them and then if their LPs are available, you buy them. Ah college radio in the 1970s!
A nice Tidal playlist that I was listening to while on my morning walk. A good way to discover one of the greatest jazz drummers of the past 60 years. Finding it on Tidal through Roon is a bit of a challenge but if you go into Tidal directly, whether on a mobile or a PC, it’s easier to find. Once you find it just add it as a favorite and it will then, hopefully, show up under your Roon Playlists. Jack DeJohnette Essentials
Jazz fans and others have been listening to this album for 63 years (even if early listeners listened to the wrong pitch on some tracks). Released Aug 17, 1959, it has been the number one jazz album in most lists of all-time greats. I doubt I got my lp version on release day (the small town record shop i frequented was notoriously lax in getting new releases) but I had it soon after and then had to buy a second after the original had too many plays with my less than top-line cartridge. It still has the highest play count of any album on my Roon.
Congratulations. JazzFan_NJ wins the old fogey finder award of the day. Does he actually think that Art Ensemble would be doing what it is doing without what MIles and Coltrane had done? Or is he really that ignorant of how jazz is created? I guess he thinks Louis Armstrong is just a pop poser in disguise. And if he is going to nominate a Art Ensemble album why not a better one such as A Jackson in Your House - ah, but understanding that album requires the same appreciation of the developoment of jazz that the Art Ensemble has
@Stan_Jones May I suggest that you take the time to read through the 962 posts on this thread. There will learn of my love of the great Louis Armstrong and my deep knowledge, understanding and appreciation of jazz and it’s beautiful history. You will learn that my comments about Kind of Blue are based on the countless jazz recommendation threads on countless forums which mention Kind of Blue and then poof the thread ends.
And yet this thread survives? Why is that? Well I would hope that it is because, along with myself, there are several other very knowledgeable jazz lovers out there who post interesting and not so run of the mill recommendations. By the way I count you among that crowd.
So there being no recommendation for Kind of Blue (and Time Out) in the first 958 posts on this thread was not due an oversight but quite deliberate.
