Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[J-IV]

@GraemeE agreed the music is top notch. Jim Hall and Bill seemed to be telepathic on this one.

This one came pretty soon after Bill Evans’ return to music after the death of Scott LaFaro, his incredibly melodic and inventive bassist in his trio known for the legendary Village Vanguard sessions. He was wrecked by this sudden, tragic death. LaFaro was so unique and I think he had more to say and could have been a bigger influence (Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead recalls him for me with his melodicism and ceaseless forays into the upper registers of the instrument). I’m not sure Evans ever got over LaFaro’s death and those demons probably figured into his struggles with addiction. So Bill was incredibly emotionally vulnerable at this time.

[J-IV]

Yeah LaFaro’s death was at the cusp of the album release of Live at the Village Vanguard. It’s even written in the liner notes. If you ask me, I don’t think Bill ever found that level of connection with a trio again. Which is what makes those Riverside records so $ought after.

Hearing the above on Spoti, my own algorithm drove me deep back into this two hidden gems out of the cellar …

Everything But The Girl - Eden

TJAMC - Darklands

This uncleaned found tonight was hidden in a box for four decades also…

It could sound like

This one isn't an original krautrock gem that i found hidden away in a box after decades (although I wish it was) but the re-issue still sounds great

[Aetas]

Looks beautiful @GraemeE
Whish there would be more hidden boxes in the cellar.

[GraemeE]

@Aetas did your mom find the Kraftwerk in her cellar?

I remember there was a fugazi single she found inside a book a few months back

[Aetas]

@GraemeE my mother found the Minor Threat single in a book, but in case of Kraftwerk it was only a few steps downstairs.

[GraemeE]

@Aetas minor threat....at least I was close

[Tago Mago]

@GraemeE always upvote for Can

[steelydan]

Got these on Saturday

[GraemeE]

A classic

[J-IV]

Meant to play this on the 26th but better late than never. Nothing like some Miles to end the long the weekend

[Aetas]

During the search for a new player, I was invited into a showroom, where my dealer demonstrated several phonograph cartridges to another customer.
Unique and mindblowing.
Tech talk felt like I am a beer drinker who knows that there are two colors of wine and the others try to compare two vintages of the same varity, grown on different continents.
Soundwise, it was a revelation.
Never heard this in such a clearness before.

What should I expect; even the cartridges used, cost more than twice of my budget for a new player.

My girls have an exam in Spanish tomorrow.
Played Julio for dinner and the atmosphere was relaxed afterwards…

A Flor De Piel

I think of this everytime I go down the online rabbit hole on super high end gear that's well out of my price range

[Aetas]

@GraemeE This beatiful grounding was needed…

Playing another cellar find tonight:

One hit LP, or reasonable underrated?!

The Railway Children- Recurrence

New needle on my system, but I am scared about this beatiful LP.
Time to change again .
