I bought this last night even though with International shipping it cost nearly £40. It sounds amazing and is a vinyl only release with stellar looking packaging to boot. I received this lovely, personal response from Dave Rempis:

Thanks so much for your order, I sincerely appreciate it, especially at this strange and difficult time for so many artists. I'm heading to the post office shortly and will have this out to you asap. I normally send download codes when you order directly from Aerophonic, but this LP comes with a download card included.

Hope that you enjoy the music, and stay safe and well!

All the best from Chicago,

Dave Rempis


Please give the sample a listen and see if you can help these or other struggling artists out too.

Cheers! 🍻

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint & The Sinner Lady LP - uDiscover Music

Described by Mingus himself as “ethnic folk-dance music,” The Black Saint & The Sinner Lady is a single song cycle rather than a traditional jazz album of separate tracks. The intricate arrangements and raw emotional swings of the piece make it a highlight of Mingus’ career, and one of the most...

Can't find any recent reissues other than the vital vinyl one last year.

That Joe McPhee album, Nation Time, is great.

Joe McPhee - Nation Time LP Superior Viaduct - Superior Viaduct

"It's been nearly five decades since Joe McPhee assembled a group of musicians to perform the weekend concerts that would become Nation Time. It was December 1970, thirty-one-year-old McPhee was inspired by Amiri Baraka's poem 'It's Nation Time,' and the students at Vassar College didn't know...

Gotta check that one out. I didn’t realize they re-released Mingus Plays Piano:

Charles Mingus - Mingus Plays Piano LP - Superior Viaduct

Bassist / composer Charles Mingus is one of the most radical figures in American music. Throughout the '50s, he worked as a sideman with legendary players Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and more. In the '60s, he gained recognition as a bandleader, often followed by controversy for making...

I love Mingus Plays Piano. One of the few jazz albums I've been into for years.

I've got that copy. It's a great value
 
Wow, I’m surprised to hear Mingus Plays Piano is actually good. I just assumed that since it wasn’t his forte it would be mediocre lol. Looks like I got some listening to do.

I bought it on a whim awhile back when I was binge buying jazz records on ebay haha. I was buying up anything under $15 that Mingus did and thought it would be cool to hear Mingus play piano. If you're a Blood Orange fan at all, you'll probably recognize the first track.

It's not like amazing playing, but the tracks are interesting and Mingus was a great composer, so it's pretty good.

Yea--I think it's a pretty solid and interesting piano jazz album, especially for a guy who wasn't known for his piano playing. It's a great rainy day jazz record for me and for $15 I wouldn't hesitate at all to pick it up. I'm a big fan of Superior Viaduct too.
 
I was hoping I could get some help from you knowledgeable folks. I have been streaming Anita Day - Anita Sings The Most a ton lately and want to grab it on vinyl. Any recommendations for a pressing?
