Get back Honky cat! Elton’s heading your way!Shipping notice for Elton John's Honky Château! I forgot I ordered it lol
That Michael White album is really awesome. The Pharoah is also fairly accessible as far as Pharoah goes.Which of these spiritual jazz titles is the most approachable
Yes. Except sun ra, which is approachable... for sun ra.Which of these spiritual jazz titles is the most approachable
Lol. For sure, but if you’re looking for accessible Sun Ra, there’s a delayed reissue of Jazz in Silhouette coming out soon, and I have high hopes for it. Gorgeous album.Yes. Except sun ra, which is approachable... for sun ra.
I second the Pharoah as being an accessible example of his music. Its been a while since I listened to it (going to rectify that soon) but from what I remember it focuses more on percussion and call-and-response over heavier free-jazz. The ensemble is insane too!That Michael White album is really awesome. The Pharoah is also fairly accessible as far as Pharoah goes.
Just a thought about the Impulse! titles, I wonder if they are going to get a later release they usually do?
The reason I say this is that the wording of the VMP text (which I appreciate should be taken with a grain of salt) suggests that they were options for the Anthology that they rejected in favour of others.
Ah thanks for this, would be great for the series to keep going, the first 4 seem to have gone down well judging by the reactions here.I don't know if you're on the discord -- I thought I saw your usename there at some point? -- but it's been mentioned sort of in passing:

I did make an account but I havent been on since. Maybe I should.
Do you mean later as in get repressed by someone else? I don’t think these will do as they are black vinyl and not really a partnership with another reissue labelJust a thought about the Impulse! titles, I wonder if they are going to get a later release they usually do?

Exactly that! The more im thinking about it the more im glad I pulled the trigger on them.Do you mean later as in get repressed by someone else? I don’t think these will do as they are black vinyl and not really a partnership with another reissue label
Yea I think these are more like Ask The Ages than the JD series if that makes sense. I hope they continue the series too and they probably will if these sell well!Exactly that! The more im thinking about it the more im glad I pulled the trigger on them.
Ah man everytime I remember or someone mentions the Ask The Ages I want to relisten to it!Yea I think these are more like Ask The Ages than the JD series if that makes sense. I hope they continue the series too and they probably will if these sell well!
Edit: my rule of thumb is if VMP releases something on black vinyl that’s a limited store exclusive, it’s not gonna be reissued elsewhere with the same plates. If it’s a color vinyl release in collaboration with another reissue label, it’s fair game to get another pressing elsewhere
I think the best way to casually keep up is to get the weekly preview of store drops on Monday AM and ask questions via the Q&A’s. If you have general questions too, Storf and Pauly seem pretty open to answering them.It’s hard to keep up with stuff unless you’re on it ALL the time to be honest
For sure. But so many hints at what’s coming up or what titles to expect in the future (like the Sly store drops). This capsule collection was mentioned maybe 6 months ago on discord and wasn’t on many people’s radarI think the best way to casually keep up is to get the weekly preview of store drops on Monday AM and ask questions via the Q&A’s.

Oh things come fast and furious for sure, but thought that was just a way to dip toes in and not get completely immersed or have it be a total time suck.For sure.
