my posts on IG are just my attempt to catalog my thoughts and hopefully share with more people. that mentality on the old blogspot platforms was how i got deep into jazz, so i like the idea of passing forward a bit. some of the people that read my IG refer to what i post as “reviews” but i don’t think of them that way, personally.

Yeah, I’d rather read cogent reviews of new music or archival, previously unavailable releases than reissues of all but the most obscure. But that’s me. And I still haven’t given over to the IG review mentality, as a sometime critic/historian of the music. IG is too ephemeral a platform… buried in timelines of those with 2,000 posts or more.

most record labels do not send out physical copies, even to staff reviewers at respected publications. This has been the case for a few years now., at least.

“Perception” on Argo (738) is a my favourite Art. It’s Art’s masterpiece to my ears… Its rare but not sought after.

I agree with you regarding records review.s Most instagram reviews are absolutely not interesting. 99,9 % are about albums everybody already knows (Impulse, New Jazz, Prestige, Blue Note Riverside). And….100 % of those records have liner notes – except Tony William’s Spring, Coltrane Impulse A-21 and Dave Bailey’s Bash of course !! 🙂

If you have a couple hours to kill, take a read through Natalie Weiner’s post-a-day recounting of the jazz of 1959. It’s well worth it! https://the1959project.com/

records involving art farmer on argo, that one in particular, have risen sharply in price. we are starting to see it now with the jazztet albums, too. i have all those, thankfully, but not this quartet date. someday.

i sent a few emails awhile back to some companies offering to review some material, such as the charlie parker 10″ box set, on my instagram page, in exchange for a review copy, but alas, no response. it was a long shot, i admit.
