Family Friendly Rap God Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Not sure if this is the right place but I have been playing B.B. King's Anthology album lately. Anybody have a good place for me to start with his music album wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyl addict Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Anyone heard the news about B.B. King? Hes currently in hospice care at his home in Las Vegas. Poor guy. I hope for the best, but hospice is never good. From what I've read online, theres also a criminal investigation. http://www.tmz.com/2015/04/06/bb-king-hospitalized-diabetes-emergency-las-vegas-hospital/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 We can talk about BB King, but just so everyone knows, there's a separate thread for blues, soul and funk:http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/86916-soul-funk-and-blues-record-thread/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whip Wilson Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I think this and Tina Brooks "True Blue" are going to be my next two purchases. True Blue is excellent. One of the first MMs I picked up. Plus, Hubbard! I'll just toss this here, but the RSD Miles Davis Prestige box is fantastic. It's so well made. Sounds fantastic. Sleeves are great. Pressings are quiet. IMO it's an underrated era for Miles. There are must gets though. Highly recommended. I must look into this. How comprehensive is it and is this box limited or are there loads about?

timsimmons Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It's just the Prestige 10"s. They split it into 2 volumes. Each Limited to 3000 I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmarkettonkos Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I own almost all of the music matters 33's that have been released so far. They are easily some of the best sounding and best looking records I own. I couldn't recommended them more. Once I got my first it justified its price tag immediately. These are as close to original pressings as I'll probably ever own and 35 dollars is nothing when shitty soundtracks and lit records are being released for roughly the same price. agaetisbyrjun and dickcritter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna get this. Volume 1 is available on bullmoose if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickcritter Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Recently picked up both of the Charles Mingus reissues that Superior Viaduct put out. Both sound great! I would definitely recommend "Mingus Plays Piano" to anyone who hasn't heard it. His piano playing is just as good as his bass playing.

somethingvinyl Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 I found a later pressing of Mingus x5 at a thrift store and I sold it because I was holding out for an original Impulse and I regret it. It's such a great record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPH976 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Although I haven't seen info on a vinyl pressing (it'd have to be massive), Kamasi Washington's record on Brainfeeder is incredible. Can't stop listening to it. Parker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickcritter Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Visited home over the weekend and borrowed a handful of jazz records from my dad. I haven't listened to much later Miles Davis, so I'm looking forward to hearing "Get Up With It". Crazy seeing the $1.99 price stickers on some of these...

bigdz68 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yeah, the heavy far out Coleman, Coltrane and Davis stuff is definitely up my ally. Don't get me wrong I love their early stuff too but to me there is something just so punk rock about their far out stuff. Like it's heavier and more aggressive then most punk and metal out there. I highly recommend Joe Mcphee's nation time though definitely not as far out as those other three it's got a lot more structure to it and less scattery. He's an incredible Sax player though. Finally got my copy of this! Amazon had backordered but bull moose shipped last week! It sounds epic on my rig! Thank u so much for this recommendation! Picked up a few other releases by McPhee but haven't had the chance to listen yet...but damn folks....get nation time! It sounds great and the pressing is pristine!

It sounds great and the pressing is pristine! Awesome! Glad you are digging it! My best friend showed me this at Christmas and I've listened to the mp3s a bunch since then. I haven't bought the vinyl yet but it's near the top of my list of things to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaine Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I received Grant Green's Matador and Bud Powell's The Scene Changes from Music Matters today. I'm excited to give them a spin, as I've never listened to either album before. This is my third shipment as part of the subscription, and seventh overall Music Matters purchase. These are easily the nicest records I own, and they've all sounded fantastic. dickcritter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't stop listening to it. This is seriously AOTY material. I've heard they plan to release a vinyl version later this year. How many sides / records will it be? UGH it's going to be so expensive.

pamfletty Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Very happy with the Bobby Jaspar boxset I got in the mail today. It's a Spanish issue from 1988. Contains 3 lp's and a 7". Bobby Jaspar is one of the most famous Belgian jazz musicians ever. Played with Miles Davis and the likes... dickcritter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickcritter Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 My more recent jazz purchases. Sort of all over the place style-wise, but they're all great! I think I'm going to be picking up a few more Music Matters releases soon as well. Parker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Nice. That Bill Evans record is classic and the Sonny Sharrock is quite the trip and certainly worth it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacoape Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 That MOV "The Bridge" sounds great. The Saxophone Colossus release is amazing as well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
