Now Playing Some Jazz [2023]

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 :wink:.

One last one before bed. To be able to play the cello this well must feel like magic.

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

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.

If I could hear this in a club, I can see myself going to both sets Friday and Saturday night.

Seems like a good day to look backwards for a real classic performance. I would suggest that this effort is well worth your consideration

MLK deserves a two-fer (remember those Ralph…). Quincy defined the moment so many times.

Multi-part post since I need to catch up after my recent visit to Jamacia :sunglasses:

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.
