Keepin’ It classy on a Monday night with a few grails.
OG Mono.
And this one. OG Stereo. One of my favorite jazz sessions. The stereo sounds incredible. DuNann was light years ahead of RVG with mixing stereo at the time of this release.
Fantasy 2014 remastered/cut from original tapes by Steve Hoffman/Kevin Gray (same mastering as the much pricier AP). 140g 33 1/3 classic album at a great $17 price on Amazon.
First spin in more than a month is a great reminder of why vinyl is so much better than any other format. Beautiful sound, nice package all distracting from epic unpacking task...
Emma-Jean Thackray - Ley Lines
I've been searching for this, one of my favourites from recent London scene, for some time and Mr Bongo suddenly found one in a stock take. Hoping that the mark on Side A isn't audible...
Lot of great UK jazz this year, with these guys putting out two great releases. They're from Brighton and seem a bit out of the London scene but are well recommended. Ebi Soda - Bedroom Tapes
Saw the Black Pumas last night.. Good record, but doesn’t do them justice. The live show was truly special. Love the inner sleeve photo. Should have been the cover.
