Sweet! Was about to ask yesterday why they haven't dropped these anywhere with the release date coming up. Man you are on the ball. Need the Shepp and McCoy

Fantastic, I have been waiting to get a copy of Charles Mingus – The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady. Has anyone picked any of these from the series up yet and can comment on quality?

Also, any idea why Ella is $10 more than the rest?

The Alice and Jazz Samba Classics Records are part of this series. I have a couple on the way - Evans and Nelson. I will be ordering the Mingus through my shop. The Jobim record that amazon couldn’t send me was part of the series. Supposedly they are high quality pressings of hi res digital.

I think the Ella is probably more because it’s a double LP.

This. The Analogue Sparks was three and is sublime.

Yeah I heard great things about the box but I really don’t want to drop $60+ on it haha!
 
Is anyone planning to resurrect that great ECM thread we had earlier.

I came across Chick Corea's Return to Forever and wow, i find the direction he takes on this fantastic. Previous exposure was only to the Blue Note Tone Poet release which I found underwhelming and his playing to be sort of like:

But the ECM release is like...

Underwhelming is not an adjective I had ever seen asociated to Corea's playing. And while I do see why you would love Return to Forever more (I tend to lean more towards that group too), his playing on Now he soings, Now he sobs is way more adventurous and in your face. I'm not saying you have to like it, but I wonder what is it that you found underwhelming and *inser Bill Nye ig here*-ish on that record.

Wasn't my thing and I found it really boring. Perhaps the style itself isn't for me. It's hit or miss with a lot of Jazz piano albums for me.

I bought that ECM RTF album when I was in high school after hearing Now He Sings. And than I bought the RTF Romatic Warrior :cry: not as good by a mile.
