On Jupiter is another great Ra album from around the same time as Lanquidity that's similarly accessible :thumbsup:

KD mentioned Oded Tzur's Here Be Dragons somewhere (can't seem to find the post now) so I checked it out. It was alright, but I really like his non-ECM stuff:





Btw. saw The Sun Ra Arkestra live few years ago in a small outside venue and it was awesome!

Nice! I came to Tzur specifically through my fondness for ECM but immediately fell in love with his knack for melody and phrasing, so I'll have to check some of this stuff out too.

As an aside, why do so many jazz albums post-1980 or so have such unattractive album art? As a sucker for formatting consistency I've probably been unduly drawn to albums on ECM (Nonesuch too for a while) over the years because of their strict, no-fuss cover designs. That second Tzur album cover looks like something from a "you'll never believe these awkward senior pictures" Buzzfeed listicle.

Yeah that album cover is pretty bad :haha:

Talking about a bad design, when they celebrated Monk's 100th birthday there was some official merch available and I still can't over how bad most of it was. I remember this one shirt in particular which was absolutely horrible:

Now I don't know the history behind that design (maybe there's some special story that I am not aware), but I would never wear that. Why do most of the band t-shirts look so horrible anyway? Now why would I wear one even if they'd look good is a whole different discussion...

nice release schedule coming..

Blue Note Records has announced the upcoming 2021-2022 line-up for the acclaimed Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series, which will kick off March 12 with Charles Lloyd & The Marvels’ new album Tone Poem, the first-ever new release to be included in the series. Fittingly, it was Lloyd who first dubbed Harley the “Tone Poet.”

Other highlights include a first-ever vinyl release of pianist Andrew Hill’s brilliant 1969 album Passing Ships, which was rediscovered in the vaults by producer Michael Cuscuna and first released in 2003, and will come out May 7 paired with tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon’s expansive 1964 album One Flight Up. Katanga!, a rare gem from the Pacific Jazz catalog by saxophonist Curtis Amy and trumpeter Dupree Bolton, comes out on June 4 along with a first-time digital release of the album. The Tone Poet Vinyl Edition of Katanga! will include a new essay by Thomas Conrad that elucidates the story behind the album.

The Tone Poet series is produced by Joe Harley and features all-analog, 180g audiophile vinyl reissues that are mastered from the original master tapes by Kevin Gray of Cohearent Audio. Tone Poet vinyl is manufactured at RTI in Camarillo, California, and packaged in deluxe Stoughton Printing “Old Style” Gatefold Tip-On Jackets.

“For jazz fans, a new batch of releases in Blue Note’s Tone Poet series—vinyl reissues remastered with care and cut from the original analog tapes—is reason for celebration” wrote Stereophile editor Jim Austin in their January 2021 issue. See the upcoming release schedule below or browse the entire series on the Blue Note Store.

Got this for RSD yesterday and it’s beautiful. Rudy Ven Gelder + AAA remaster + restrained playing and mournful compositions. Really nice addition.

:luv: Pete was the closest thing to a studio mentor I ever had. I’ve never known him to work on jazz, but somehow he landed this Mingus gig and I can’t wait to hear it on vinyl.

Can never get the Instagram embed right so:
