Jeff Parker live 2xLP. Produced by eremite. Insta-buy before even getting out of bed.

Mondays at The Enfield Tennis Academy-, x2 LPs of long-form, lyrical, groove-based free improv by acclaimed guitarist & composer Jeff Parker's ETA IVtet is at last here. Recorded live at ETA (referencing David Foster Wallace), a bar in LA’s Highland Park neighborhood with just enough space in the back for Parker, drummer Jay Bellerose, bassist Anna Butterss, & alto saxophonist Josh Johnson to convene in extraordinarily depthful & exploratory music making. Gleaned for the stoniest side-length cuts from 10+ hours of vivid two-track recordings made between 2019 & 2021 by Bryce Gonzales, -Mondays at The Enfield Tennis Academy- is a darkly glowing séance of an album, brimming over with the hypnotic, the melodic, & patience & grace in its own beautiful strangeness. Room-tone, electric fields, environment, ceiling echo, live recording, Mondays, Los Angeles. Jeff Parker's first double album & first live album, -Mondays at The Enfield Tennis Academy- belongs in the lineage of such canonical live double albums recorded on the West Coast as Lee Morgan’s -Live at the Lighthouse-, Miles Davis' -In Person Friday & Saturday Night at the Blackhawk, San Francisco- & -Black Beauty-, & John Coltrane's -Live in Seattle-.

Face Records NYC will post some new listings tonight at 7PM EST on their discogs. Looks like the 33RPM Waltz for Debby AP will be in that batch.....guessing it'll be listed for a pretty penny but might be worth keeping an eye out if anybody is looking for that one....

Hancock - Dedication is an underrated gem for me. One of my first purchases from Ella or Record City in Japan (can’t remember which).
 
Welp. New Land has a lot to learn about shipping. Both Blue Mitchell and Howard McGhee showed up with massive seam splits, due to poor packing. Thin mailer with zero padding, records inside the sleeve. Blue Mitchell got the worst of it...

...but the Howard McGhee isn't looking so good, either...

Yep--this also happened to a bunch of their shipments to distributors apparently. I got mine from PBC and they have some tiny dings and seam splits on top/bottom. Hoping they figure it out soon. They are doing some awesome titles and the pressings/cuts are great.
 
I also got my WallenBink Erich Kleinschuster Sextet albums today, too, and the difference was pretty major. WallenBink packed the records like they were anticipating rough handling and even took the records out of the sleeves, so all three arrived in perfect condition.
Interested in your opinion of the Jordan/Tolliver Kleinschuster release . I wanted all 3, but they were expensive, so I picked that one from Dusty Groove. It’s really fantastic — music, sound quality, package quality. I also have WB’s Duke Pearson release, I Don’t Care Who Knows It. Similarly excellent, although I prefer the music on Kleinschuster more.

Damn, that EP looks cool, but it's basically 6 minutes of music for $34 US shipped. A definite advantage for the Sam Record locals.
Ended up adding the EP, peace treaty and another album I was missing to one order to combine shipping. With the euro being the same as the dollar right now, not a bad time to buy records from Europe…even with the shipping. Obviously doesn’t make sense to just buy one record but three records shipped was the same shipping cost
