  • A really good (or great) 80's Jazz Record?

    RishanRishan
    Frank Lowe and Dwight James both sound nice from what I just checked on YT. Didn't know that label, thanks for heads up!

    Chico Freeman - Peaceful Heart, Gentle Spirit - Contemporary '80 (so maybe recorded '79 and ineligible for purposes of discussion!)

    Chico's 'Destiny's Dance' also on Contemporary from '82 is maybe not quite as good, but has nice versions of 'Same Shame' and 'Wilpan's Walk'.

    Harold Land - Xocia's Dance - Muse '81 - absolute burner
    James Marentic Sextet - Nimbus - Discovery '83 - I just listened to last night and forgot how good it is

    I'm gonna keep adding to this even if I'm talking to myself.

    Great thread

  • RIP MF DOOM

    RishanRishan
    Was and still am a massive KMD fan. Mr Hood lp was difficult as hell to find over here when I first started looking for it. Ended up having to get it off eBay for way more than I should have paid. Inevitably a copy turned up at my local spot pretty soon after, but it was an Elektra EU pressing so I left it for someone else! Mine was the US original with the green sticker! To this day one of the happiest I've been on receipt of an e-dig. I had all the picture cover 12's from the lp as well, including the Nitty Gritty remix 12" and thought the design on all of them was awesome. Frame-worthy cover art for sure.

    Bl_ck B_st_rds reminds me of Low End Theory the way they came out with such a mature and evolved sound. Great record. Fools at Elektra didn't know what to do with a true creative.

    I had the original Doom 12's on Fondle 'Em when they came out. I think Operation Doomsday re-recorded the vocals from those tracks for the album, but I always preferred the original mixes. Still a classic. All are classics to me.

    I stopped paying much attention in the early 00's so nothing else really moved me as much as these at an important time of growing up. I have given a passing listen to Vik Vaughn, Madvillain, MM Food, but I will definitely revisit with a new ear. 

    RIP to a unique, and by the sounds of it, thoroughly lovely guy.

  • Live Mingus set reissued on Strata/180 Proof/BBE

    I was going to resurrect a 180 Proof thread, but then, well, you know what happened last time. Surprised this hasn't been discussed yet because the sound clips are incredible and the discovery is

    Keep on it Amir! My pre-order is in - I've got everything so far except the TJ, which is not really my thing, and looking forward to the unreleased CJQ and the Sphere.
