Remembered that in December when I was at my local and was in the ECM bin. I actually thought it had sold out already and I had missed the train. Couldn't find any update neither. Hope it will be released at some point.

I didn’t buy much last year so was worried I’d missed it too. Couldn’t see a Discogs entry so assuming not but hoping it will eventually happen.

Same, the completionist in me keeps me buying some J-jazz, Jazz is Dead and Analog Africa releaseq but that's it. I can buy one or another record from time time but definitely not as I used to. Prices have been killing my love for all of this. This forum might be my last connection with records. Winter sales started here in France and for the first time in maybe 20 years I was not waiting in front of my laptop for it to start to grab some discounted records.

Sales:
“Hey marketing team, we’re starting a jazz subscription service and are wondering if you have any great ideas to make jazz people seem more insufferable than many folks already think they are. Any ideas?!?!”

Marketing:
“Haha. Next time give us a real challenge. Just call it a “bespoke” record club. Not just once though. Be sure to repeat the word in marketing copy.”

I’m focused on finding deals on stuff (new and vintage stuff) that I think that, at worst, I could resell at no loss or something reasonable even if the market falls further than it has, which I think it will. Not bc I think the market will tank but bc it was unnaturally high post covid and then, labels jacked up prices accordingly, particularly in jazz, and now there’s a supply glut.

Hard to justify buying anything full price these days. A few exceptions....but things rarely sell out anymore and most things go on sale.

Paul Bley - Open To Love (LP) (ECMLuminessence Series) - uDiscover Music

Paul Bley is one of the most influential pianists in the history of jazz, his touch instantly recognisable. Bley’s career, which now spans seven decades, has continued to be a reference for successive generations of musicians. This is unsurprising, given that the Canadian pianist has worked with...

Does anyone know if this got pushed back/cancelled completely?

Did you ever find out anything else about this. Hadn’t realised it was going to be reissued. I have a 70s copy that plays through with light crackles that I’ve always wanted to upgrade.

Love this album! I’ve not actually picked up any of the Luminescence albums, as I’ve already got some of them as original pressings which sound pretty good - the jackets all tend to peel though. Are these Luminesence series on tip-on like the tone poets?

No, the jackets still suck ass. Most of mine arrived with the glue already coming undone. But the records sound great and I haven't regretted any I've picked up. Really glad I was able to snag a few on the cheap during the udiscover sale.

Someone tag me when the titles are back up for order!

My guess is that it will be announced tomorrow. I also asked @Ethos99 if he thinks they will be wide releases--I expect they will be.

SMS15 gets you 15% off on their site. Plus if you order through the shop app, it allows you to use shop cash in addition to that. Shipping wasn't bad $8 and change for 4LPs (2 single and 1 double)

Sorry which Stratas are they doing?

So far, the first 4 are Charlie Rouse - Two is One, Pharoah Sanders - Izipho Zam, Charles Tolliver's Music Inc Live at Slugs Vol I & II double LP and Stanley Cowell - Musa: Ancestral Streams. Release date is April 25th.

Pressed at Record Technology Inc. (RTI) and mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, the vinyl edition comes in high-quality, glossy tip-on gatefold jackets.

Price seemed to be $35 for the single LP and $45 for the double (Live at Slugs). Seems like the link went live early. Charles Tolliver's son is spearheading it all. Think they have a bunch of other titles coming out too later.
