Three things. 1. You should probably comment on the most current post if you want anyone to see it. We don’t have a forum and people generally don’t click on to latest comments, but they do look at the current comments on each post. 2. I use Linn Sondek turntable(s) and I love them. 3. Thanks for the kind words and taking all of that time to go through the site. I’m impressed.

I am new to this site, new to Jazz too, (I played trumpet from age of 7 – 15, my tutor told me, “don’t bother with Jazz, it’s just notes thrown together without any thought.”).

I started at page 19 and worked my way back to page 1. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every single feature, superb writing and the content is always interesting and informative.

I hope I am not going out of the arena of collecting, and / or this has already been ‘done to death’ but, what turntable(s) do you all use?

Thank you,
Jon

Was listening to Burton Greene ESP lp before I got rid of it, the one sometimes called Bloom in Commune and anyway, there was this tenorman, Frank Smith and name taxed my brain, but I recall nothing about him, nor other lps he may have been on. Perhaps at one time I may have known, but now..?
Anyway, you know anything about the cat, whatever happened to him. Those Franks back in the day, Lowe, Smith and Wright, they certainly knew how to go out.

If all goes according to plan, I’ll be back with a new post tomorrow. Hope you are all healthy and dealing with the emotional strain of the coronavirus. I’ve settled up in The Berkshires where we hope to ride it out for as long as necessary. Not that it’s completely clear here (or anywhere), but it definitely feels safer than being in New York City. As long as we stay safe, we have our music to offer escape.

You know, if you dropped a clue or hint or two,
on how on eBay to find you,
You might entice souls with such an inclination
to buy records on your designated destination.

Just a thought.

I have it under the title Blue Light, released in the late ’60s on German International Polydor. Nice date.

There’s TONS of music like that today. You just have to look for it!

In either event, it is a fantastic album. My father was adamant about not putting your fingers on an album but holding it on its sides so needless to say, this lp is in perfect condition. The rhythm sounds so contemporary in the sense that it’s the type of music I wish we had today. No digital, no crazy riffs, just pure jazz. Ben has a way of taking a tune like You’d be so easy to love and make it sound like butter on toast. His accompanist fall right into the groove. I’m only selling LPs that are sealed on eBay, which aren’t really selling at all. but if I were to see an open sleeved record, it wouldn’t be this one. This I have to keep!

I suspect that a lot of (mostly newer) participants in the BN/Prestige craze don’t even know that well that there are great things beyond those two labels. Hopefully, everyone may get a chance to learn a little more about the other great stuff.
