Weird, I could have sworn I saw a concert photography one... Eh, no worries. I thought you guys would enjoy it, I'll post another set later in the photo thread.

Thanks for the comments and likes everyone 🙏🖤

Anyway, here are some shots of yesterday's Sons of Kemet concert. I still have to weed out some more, but I'm liking these few shots I have. Hope you enjoy!

I got several edits of this shot because I loved how it turned out.

Great stuff! They really are an amazing group. I've been lucky enough to see them a few times now and each time there is a different unexpected element to their performance. One hell of a group!
 
I know someone kind of laid out thoughts about many of the record store day jazz titles, but for the life of me I can't find it in this thread or the RSD thread. Anyone remember where that was?
 
This weekend, a local had a couple well-priced records by Inner City Records, a label I was not familiar with and that I can’t find too much about online. Lament for Ervin Booker (this is a reissue) and The Great Jazz Trio - At the Village Vanguard (US issue of a Japanese release by East Wind).

Both are on very minty vinyl, and both sound quite good to my ears. I originally guessed the baseball cover photo on Great Jazz Trio was somehow related to Japan’s love of baseball, but apparently it’s bc Hank Jones was a baseball fan. The Booker Ervin record was new to me, and it has an interesting backstory.

I have done this for a couple of years running now and it helps me work out what I actually do want to go for. So, here are some jazz RSD releases that caught my attention:

Albert Ayler - Revelations
- This is a set which I think will be great and I would love to spend the afternoon digging into it. However, 2 shops near me have it listed for £170 and £195 which is way more than I'm comfortable paying. It might be a 5lp set but that's a heck of a lot of money. Ayler's music is really interesting and I have a few of his records that I enjoy (In Greenwich Village, My Name Is Albert Ayler, Something Different!, New Grass) but honestly, I think I would really have to be in a certain mood to fully appreciate a 5lp set. Maybe if I can get it at a later time cheaper I will, but I'm in no rush.

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - In My Prime
- Seems like a Blakey release is a go-to now for the RSD event. This one looks to be a reissue that combines 2 separate volume releases into a single package. Worth noting that these original pressings can be bought for less than £10 each. Again, this is going to be a pass for me I think.

Bill Evans - Morning Glory: The 1973 Concert at the Teatro Gran Rex, Buenos Aires
Bill Evans - Inner Spirit: The 1979 Concert at the Teatro General San Martín, Buenos Aires
- Resonance is back at it again with a couple more Bill Evans releases. I have to say that I really enjoy these Resonance Releases, despite the fact that some people have been unhappy with the audio quality of some of them. I know Evans sells really well but I do wish they would focus on other musicians a bit more, they must have access to a wealth of tapes. I think I have 5 of their Evans' releases now and I'm wondering if these would actually add much more to what I already have available.

Bobby Hamilton Quintet Unlimited - Dream Queen
- This is something that I wasn't expecting. I have been hoping to get the Superfly Records reissue for a while now but it's one of the more pricey ones to find on the secondary market (over £100). Now-Again is the ones responsible for this reissue. I will be after this I think, depending on the price.

Charles Mingus - The Lost Album from Ronnie Scott's
- Another release from Resonance. I'm really intrigued by this one and will likely try to get a copy, but £70 - £80 is going to be a bitter pill to swallow.

Chet Baker - Live In Paris: The Radio France Recordings 1983-1984
- This is another that is sure to be a big seller. Its something that I would certainly be interested in but, as is the running theme this year, its price is too hard to justify. £90 - £105 from the 2 shops I have looked at. Even if it is a 3lp set this is too much for me to justify.

Freddie Hubbard - Music Is Here: Live At Maison de la Radio (ORFT) Paris 1973
- This is another live Paris recording. Tapes from the ORFT archives seem to be a great place to dig into as there have been several RSD releases in the past that make use of them (Resonance have used them quite a bit). Personally, I will skip this one. I cant see it selling out and it's already been delayed until June.

Miles Davis - Live In Montreal, 7th July, 1983
I hadn't heard anything about this until I came across it on the RSD list. Looks to be Miles with one of the later iterations of his group.

Freddie Redd - Music From The Connection
- I won't be getting this as I'm fortunate enough to have a first mono pressing signed by Freddie as well as the Mosaic Complete Blue Note Recordings Of Freddie Redd, BUT it's one of my favourites and well worth listening to. The film is superb as well. I have not heard of the label that is releasing this pressing (Ikon) so I can't comment on that.

Max Roach - We Insist!
- This is another reissue. I'm a bit confused by the description actually as it's 2LP's (the original is 1) and it says it's the first time it has been reissued since the 1970's, which just isn't true. I'm going to steer clear.

Jonny Trunk - AZ of Record Shop Bags: 1940s to 1990s
- This is a fun oddity that I thought I would throw in the mix. Johnny Trunk is pretty well known over here in the UK for releasing some fantastic British jazz reissues. This looks to be a fantastic coffee table book which I'm sure a lot of the more seasoned Brits will particularly enjoy as I imagine most of the shops will have closed now.

This was the list I put together when they first announced them.

In addition are these 2 which look interesting. I am definitely aiming for the Pepper Adam's as being high up on my list.

Nice finds! Inner City seemed to specialize in US releases of jazz recorded aboard. Most of the Inner City albums I have are US versions of Steeplechase releases, but a few (including the fantastic Nefertiti by Andrew Hill) are licensed from East Wind in Japan.

Grab a copy of this Inner City by Tommy Flanagan if you can, It's one of the best Piano trio records I have ever heard!

thank you! I thought it was you, but couldn't find it for some reason.
 
My highest priority is the Jazz Dispensary compilation, which I’m sure will be instantly available online for 2x the price, and I’d like to avoid paying that. Unfortunately (or fortunately bc it means I still have some sanity?), I don’t care enough about that one record to wait for hours in a line, so hopefully one will be left somewhere.
 
Does anyone know if the "Hassan Ibn Ali - Retrospect In Retirement Of Delay: The Solo Recordings" is a US only release? Its the main one I was hoping to get but limited to 1000 and I cant find any UK sellers with it listed as coming.

Bill Evans - You Must Believe In Spring seems to be sold out on the craft site as a pre-order.

Seems Amazon can still take pre-orders but I wouldn’t hesitate long if you want to get your hands on this one. I panic pre-ordered through Amazon today when I saw Craft was sold out. If @Ethos99 is able to get some copies up I’ll cancel my order at AMZ.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up!
