Hi George. Fascinating picks as usual. Love the Monk and Grant Green. I see the Alice Coltrane/Santana in the bins once in awhile for cheap. Must pick it up. Cheers.
Hi Jeff yes the Alice Coltrane lp is worth picking up on the cheap. Monk is up there with anyone. I am sort of filled up with grant green but always quality.
Hello George. Nice recent pick ups. I didn't know that Alice Coltrane teamed up with Santana. That would be pretty outstanding, I would imagine. Very nice Monk and Grant Green LP's as well. Thanks. Cheers!
Great selection George! I love that Gerald Wilson too and I'm not into big band. It sounds gorgeous. Also like doing business with Pure Pleasure in London, awesome audiophile label on our doorstep! Keep spinning buddy! Cheers
Great pics, George. Jeepers, Harold Land turns up in some surprising places - he even gets a mention on the first Yes album. “Stick Up” is great, Hutcherson is one of my favorites.
Hi George. I myself have backed way off of the atone Poets. You don’t get as good of packaging but you do pay a lot more. I keep an eye for sales on Amazon and will pick a few up. Booker Little was someone new to me, thank you for the info on him. Nice choice of background music Gospel Jazz Music, interesting. Cheers George
Cheers Steve. The tone poets are such good value for an audiophile record it’s hard not to pick them up. Booklet little is a fantastic trumpet player shame he didn’t make more records.
Hi George. Nice to see you again. Very cool reissues. I was checking out the Vick. Man the lineup on it is killer. Luckily I found an original six-eye mono pressing of Monk's Dream at Goodwill a few years back. I ordered the amazing 'Point of Departure' from Andrew Hill. One of my favorites. Excellent update once again G~
You have a lot of great jazz albums in your collection. I don't know a lot about Booker Little, so it was good to hear your thoughts. The Grant Green album sounds interesting.
Thanks Randy yes Booker little was quite a player who’s life was unfortunately cut short. I’m sure he would have went on to bigger things. The grant green is a cool easy going lp with a bit spiritual feel.
Hi George definitely going to check out Booker Little, as I see that Pure Pleasure still have it and I’ve not had any issues with there releases. Stick Up is one of my favourite TPS, but as you say can’t go wrong with a bit of Bobby on the table. Cheers Graham
@@brandnewstart hi graham the pure pleasure lps are fab and quite limited. Most of bookers are in the bargin bins. This is the only audiophile reissue worth picking up. Yes Bobby hutcherson makes fab lps.
Really good pickups George! I have a couple of Dolphy/Booker LPs and they sound really nice. These look super as well. I have only a couple of Monk. I should definitely check this one out. I have been getting more into bigband and the Wilson one is good. I’ll check out the Henderson and Vick albums. Have a warm week!
Thanks Bradley. Booker is a very underrated musician yes I will get any he’s on. Monk lp is one of his best I think and the latest tone poets are as good as most. I’m glad though I picked up that Gerald Wilson lp.
Out Front is an amazingly mature record for a 23 year old. No telling what Booker would have achieved had he lived. Hoping that the revived Candid label will reissue this. Picked up the Bernie Grundman remastered copies of the Abbey Lincoln, Max Roach and Mingus, all sound terrific.
Nice one George, got stick up... might just get that Gerald Wilson to try it. Is it like the new bottle old wine album by Adderley/ gil evans? I'm still spinning the Coltrane Blue train stereo... what a highlight this year. Cheers
@@scottspinner1 oh yes! G Wilson is a good one... just spinning it tonight. Nice guitar parts by Joe Pass as well. On to side 2... Pure pleasure based near Twickenham... must spin down and check it out.
@@johnnyocvinylrecords1079 aye pure pleasure nice vinyl. Yup nice guitar by pass. Might get his tone poet. Going back on my stop getting all tone poets. Hey ho.
@@scottspinner1 I have the Django TP but there is a high pitched noise floor on some of the tracks... not the usual silent noise floor...still great fast guitar playing
Nice video George. I've only just discovered Tone Poets so have been buying all those I can find that are still available (at or near retail prices)... I'm sure I saw a video where they (Joe Harley or Kevin Grey) said they were not limited editions and would be re-pressed... Do you know anything about that? There are a few titles I've missed that I would really like, but don't want to spend hundreds £££ for.
Hi Dave yes they are not limited and they do from time to time reissue them. I have most. My local shop may have some at retail £35. Green cat records dunbar. Think loud and clear Glasgow stock them.
You make it sound great but I just find it hard going bought a couple of cds by davis and coltrne and mingus just hard going in my opinion but like listening to you reviews 👍
Hi James. Just persevere with miles davis. And it will come. You got to listen intently. The sound of the acoustic instruments and how they were recorded will shine. These guys were the punks of there era. That could play their instruments.

Great selection George! I love that Gerald Wilson too and I'm not into big band. It sounds gorgeous. Also like doing business with Pure Pleasure in London, awesome audiophile label on our doorstep! Keep spinning buddy! Cheers
Thanks mark. Yes that Gerald Wilson lp is a great addition. Yes have two or three of those pure pleasure lps. And best to buy them direct.
Great pics, George. Jeepers, Harold Land turns up in some surprising places - he even gets a mention on the first Yes album. “Stick Up” is great, Hutcherson is one of my favorites.
Thanks Andy. Harold land an unsung hero. Yes stick up a piece of quality. Have a great Sunday.
@@scottspinner1 It’s a great rainy morning here, George. Having coffee and some Harold Land is playing.
@@CWoodOne fabulous. Just going out for a walk and take in the wonder of our existence.
@@scottspinner1 Did you take any music along for your walk, George?
@@CWoodOne no need to be quiet sometimes

Hi rob yes the vic lp has a cool line up. A talented man. Cool you have an original of monk. Just don’t find that stuff here.
You have a lot of great jazz albums in your collection. I don't know a lot about Booker Little, so it was good to hear your thoughts. The Grant Green album sounds interesting.

Great video George those Tone Poets are fascinating addiction ha
Thanks Jorge. Vinyl is addictive. As is the tp

Hi Ian the Gerald Wilson will put a smile on your face more a kin to the Oliver Nelson lp. Blue train classic

I'd put Booker in my unheralded but really great trpt players!---good to let the folks know about him!!!--JG
Thanks jack yes I’m sure if he recorded for longer than he did he would have been very big.
PS--I bet that Jazz Messengers sounds great
Jack it sounds great funny my local shop just got a version in with a different cover.
You make it sound great but I just find it hard going bought a couple of cds by davis and coltrne and mingus just hard going in my opinion but like listening to you reviews 👍
