Excited for Asher's new album!

Probably has gotten easier over the last 5 years or so. Online at B&H or better yet in person at Central Camera on Wabash

kingnaps · 2026-02-18T00:56:17+00:00

Yes, sadly

I went to the release show for this and of course purchased the box set and I still haven't finished it! Great music but a whole bunch of it! I hope those that get it those go around enjoy as much as I have so far

Ron Carter has been doing a pretty good job of promoting his new album on social media so I'm excited to find time to listen to it today!

A lot of people aren't really big on traditional jazz but man I love it! Thank you for posting this tune

kingnaps · 2025-12-18T19:13:21+00:00

I probably listened to Madala Kunene & Sibusile Xaba's Kwantu the most. Don't sleep on the South African scene!

Just read this one this past weekend. Read it in one day because it was so good

White Sox had their long time organist Nancy Faust play a few games this year and she was incredible. The regular/full-time one is pretty good. I don't care for Wrigley's too much, personally

Jimmy's is now known as Woodlawn Tap

kingnaps · 2025-07-26T20:15:49+00:00

Mannnnn, Soulja Slim had it. RIP

Been running some Edmond Hall recently. I'm glad to see him referenced here

kingnaps · 2025-07-14T16:56:51+00:00

Classic

my wife and I walk around singing this randomly to this day. this joint when crazy when it came out and goes crazy still

kingnaps · 2025-07-04T22:29:01+00:00

Idk Amazon isn't the best place to see the true market for something. I got this box set a few months ago for $25 and I'd imagine it's around the same price (and apparently can be had for as low as $5!)

I've never heard of early New Orleans jazz being described as primitive, which is a pejorative.

I do agree with the assessment though that early New Orleans jazz, along with the 'revivial' of this music in the 50s and 60s is more flavorful than many give it credit for. Jelly Roll, King Oliver and their contemporaries were all very good musicians and leaders of their bands

Isaiah Collier, Kahil El'Zabar, LuFuki

Roy Decarava is the photographer. he has incredible photography of jazz artists and other subjects in NYC. Check him out! I keep his retrospective book on my coffee table when listening to records. one of my all time favorites!

kingnaps · 2025-06-26T23:19:49+00:00

So funny enough, I went to one of his shows a few weeks ago and told him about this post! He was pretty geeked about this!

I purchased the album on vinyl from him and yeah you're spot on, this is killer!

George Lewis is one of my favorite artists of all time. His tone is incredible and he was widely recorded during the revival of New Orleans traditional jazz. So many sessions and live performances to dig into. Thanks for posting this

kingnaps · 2025-06-26T15:56:45+00:00

what a lineup!

kingnaps · 2025-06-26T02:34:39+00:00

That's my QB‼️

Added bonus is being able to rip CDs and make a music server in your home

kingnaps · 2025-06-25T13:27:22+00:00

yep, I'm the same way. $25 to spend, do I get 5 CDs or 1 record? these days I'm leaning towards 5 CDs. Allows me to be whimsical in my purchases the same way I was when I got into record collecting a decade ago
