Too Much in Love to Care
Claire Martin

Superbly recorded. 24/192 from Linn Records: http://www.linnrecords.com/recording-too-much-in-love-to-care.aspx

Grabbed it today. Sensational in all respects. Will include it in my next column.

Great. It was actually a recommendation from an offline friend.

It's a shame we haven't heard from our friend Lindeman anymore, as this thread was a true golden mine for new music!

So, I'm just going to put one jazz album I listened to the other day that caught my ear:

Omer Avital "Abutbul Music".

Israeli bass player, very cool modern jazz with more than a few middle eastern/oriental touches. Recording quality is excellent, and there's even a solo bass track that's good for demo/system evaluation purposes Unfortunately, 16.44k only


cheers,
alex

Omar Avital is awesome. Look for this one

Enjoying this new one on vinyl

 

[asiufy]

Yeah I had two or three of his previous releases, always pretty good, tasteful jazz, but this latest one blew them away!

Got the Mehldau trio too.
I love the playing. The SQ is so so.

Top Stuff Folsom , would be interested to know where you sourced these from ?

 

[Folsom]

A local place here. They're from a private collection of a guy that passed. There's more stuff but I'm not sure if any of it is good or worth meddling with. I'm considering letting something go out of the haul. I need to have a listen before I decided. My understanding is the Missa Brevis and Ars Musica are particularly rare, and rather desired among classical collectors of audiophile quality. The rest of the classical there I didn't go through 100% of it. There was an Arvo Part album but there's a reissue of it out that's a better option as a 2lp instead of 1lp for example. I may go back and refer to the master list, or make an offer on the lot of unpriced classical. If I do I may have an online sale since I won't be a fan of all of it (well, if anything in it is worth the time).

 

[Folsom]

Sorry guys, no luck. I tried to buy the lot but they decided it was worth their time to price it all out after I grabbed a few. They made less money selling me a couple than if I would've bought them all. The reason? They price stuff off of what sold on eBay, which doesn't account for current sale prices on AcousticSounds, Amazon, or Discogs.

If I have a chance at another lot of good stuff I'll try to get it to sell for beans on here. But as you know it's rare.

 

[Jazzhead]

Folsom , thanks for the follow up . Until the next stash then ..... Happy Listening !

 

[Folsom]

All the ones with red outsides are EMI's from France 'La Voix De Son Maitre' . Condition appears new/mint on all. Sorry the pictures are not very good, the lighting is abysmal and nothing can change that besides installing a bunch of skylights.

 

[Folsom]

Would you believe I got a second holy grail, locally? I have no idea how... or why I've been bestowed this luck.

 

[DaveyF]

Managed to source an original pressing in Mint condition.... ...It's really a great LP. Charlie Musselwhite is something else...and Doug isn't too shabby either. The SQ of this LP is pretty close to reference quality IMHO.

 

[Folsom]

Arthur has it highly regarded on his list, but maybe the reissue. I'm going to grab that album at some point.
