I have it. These days I have to really love a recording to buy the vinyl. I really like how our digital setup sounds now and the convenience can’t be beat. Though the Audio Desk is feeling neglected .
These five, no make that seven releases from Charlie Parker Records just became available on both Qobuz and Tidal. A mix of studio and live recordings, most of them with very good sound considering the age and source of the recordings. All of them classic Charlie Parker. ESSENTIAL JAZZ

I am listening to it right now .
Hmm, never understood why these kinds of albums exist, since technique (rather than tune selection) was the drawing card for the originals. Original compositions not withstanding.
Seems like a good day to look backwards for a real classic performance. I would suggest that this effort is well worth your consideration
. Available at Qobuz and Tidal,.
MLK deserves a two-fer (remember those Ralph…). Quincy defined the moment so many times.
So sorry…
Multi-part post since I need to catch up after my recent visit to Jamacia
I sure do! And I have quite a few of them in my vinyl collection. Two-fers were fairly popular back in the 1970s and then along came the CD…
New discovery on Tidal/Qobuz. Great sonics! Oh and the music is quite enjoyable as well.

Recent post from the “other” jazz thread: Ahmad Jamal
And from the archives today’s Vinyl Hour selections:
Three from the great Microscopic Septet, none of which I could find available for streaming and only one of which has been released on CD (“Beauty Based On Science”)
This one is a real rarity, which I picked up while working at my college radio station. According to Discogs it was officially available as this promo vinyl and has been unofficially released several times as a bootleg.
Seems that I wasn’t quite finished with this long post because no sooner did I switch from listening to vinyl back to listening via Roon then i discovered these release, available on Tidal and Qobuz from Polish bass player Damian Kostka. Interesting and engaging compositions played by a talented group and very well recorded. Of course there is zero useful metadata from either Tidal or Qobuz but here’s what I found via Google.
“The material was recorded in the line-up: Kuba Marciniak (tenor saxophone, flute), Cyprian Baszyński (trumpet, flugelhorn), Jacek Szwaj (piano), Damian Kostka (double bass, bass guitar), Mateusz Brzostowski (drums). All compositions are by the leader.”
Damian Kostka - Rules For Being Human (so that you can easily cut and paste into Roon search and yes, a search for “Damian Kostka” returns this recording)

A new release available on Tidal and Qobuz. A masterful recording by one of Italy’s master musicians honoring a great and masterful American musician. The format is a jazz piano trio with an orchestra. The piano trio is mixed up front with the orchestra a bit recessed for most of the recording. A fine tribute to John Lewis.
