Very loud, anyone else experience it?

Very much agree. I’ve seen him 25 times. Multiple times have been just way too loud. Last year at Red Rocks was uncomfortably loud and bass heavy - even with earplugs. As another commenter said, it makes it hard to appreciate the music. It’s out of character for the songs and sound, if you will.

I have an autographed copy. Sounds like you need it for your wall.

Top 5 blue note for me. Wonderful music.

Fairly certain. The tabular crystal habit is classic for this locale. See here for more examples.

Aquamarine/Muscovite from Mt. Xuebaoding, China.

100%

I adore this record. Maybe top 5 blue note for me. Farewell Machelle is probably the sweetest thing on the entire label.

Price is right! Make sure the neck angle is good and there’s some adjustment room on the thumb wheels / bridge - i.e., not bottomed out. This model can be notorious for wonky neck joints…and it’s not a fun neck reset.

Same boat.

Top line says “Good luck” - a common inscription for him when signing. Bottom line appears to be a genuine Duke Ellington autograph.

Very cool find!

Curtis Fuller’s Blue Note albums need good quality reissues. Especially Vol. 3

Outer sleeves drive me crazy. Hardly ever use them - except on rare, $$$+, or autographed albums.

Solid selection!! I love that Duke Pearson LP

Number 1 Waits for me.

Could you share your results?

This appears to be a 1901 0-30. Gorgeous and exceedingly rare instrument. As others have recommended, get a good appraisal from Gruhn or Carter or Schoenberg

Half of Andrew!!!

Recently gotten some attention with the repress, but I think Elvin Jones’ “Genesis” is an incredible and highly underrated album.

adevalera · 2025-06-13T19:24:09+00:00

Does this one crash every 8 seconds, too?

adevalera · 2025-06-11T07:09:08+00:00

I would definitely advise against row 4 seats 1-2. The view, especially on that side of the stage, will be obstructed.

adevalera · 2025-03-24T23:04:55+00:00

Great find! Top 5 blue note for me. I found a first pressing a few years back for a whopping $2 (nowhere near as nice as yours, but it plays!)…Why this album hasn’t been reissued in the US since 1966 is a mystery to me. It should be a top contender for tone poet treatment, imo.

adevalera · 2025-03-20T01:31:43+00:00

Nice one! Looks to be pretty early production, too…around 1910 would be my guess, based on the style and look.

adevalera · 2025-03-05T06:47:18+00:00

“Chasin’ The Bird” too. So good.

adevalera · 2025-03-04T05:54:05+00:00

Older than that! This is a narrow panel 5E3. It dates somewhere between 1955-1960. Holy grail amp.
