EDIT:
Nothing like a double post, oh well. Not sure how that happened…

Picked up this at the same time, solo baritone saxophone, James Carter Un. Not Colin Stetson, but a fun listen. Maybe I should follow-up with Serge Chalof.

They are not afraid to do solo horns or even mix and match interesting styles. I have one by them and its Helen Sung, a piano player doing tunes with a trumpet player - thats it, no other instruments. And it works well

We get a fair amount of that on the Chicago scene, Dave Rempis doing solo Bari, for instance. Jim Baker and Ed Wilkerson doing duos,… I like the J.M.I. aesthetic, they seem to step back and put the reins in the musician’s hands.

Just arrived today, new ‘Classic Vinyl Series’ reissue.
I missed out on the Music Matters 45 set, so I guess this is the consolation prize, still sounds great, with less effort.

Regardless it is a great set!
Listening to disc 2/2 of this fine Dexter Gordon Quartet Live in Chateauvallon 1978 , with George Cables, Rufus Reid, and Eddie Gladden. Dexter and George are in especially fine form.

To answer a question no one asked: A friend brought over his new UHQR 45 version and we compared it to my already excellent Analogue Productions 33.
Sound is elevated more than any fuse I ever bought.
So, to soothe the sting of having too low a cc balance, I ordered one.

I wish the UHQR packages were slimmer, as I prefer the Music Masters/Tone Poet tip on gatefold sleeves. Then there is the price of the UHQRs. Nice to know the Ballads UHQR is a winner.
I am enjoying this Blue Note soul jazz reissue a lot. Sound is good with a nice wide sound stage and reasonable center fill.

I agree about the packaging. I just put the albums in my LP rack and the empty cases fill unused space in my component rack (hiding cables). I read the booklets and other paraphernalia once. It’s all a complete waste imo. Keep it all and charge half the price.
