@@thomashensing4093 Thanks Bro - yes that was great Paris visits both of them 😉🇫🇷

@@doomster73 Brilliant 🤣

Thanks for asking - but none of them seems to be around any more...

​@@Claus-CaptainPhoenixCorner COVID BIOWEAPON ??? Sawano, Minoru = Moby Disque. His bro has a shop in Osaka. Hopefully still alive in Lille or Douai. Eby s gettin old ..Alte Kameraden, WW3 comin up .. PS. Can u sell me nm copies of LOREZ ALEXANDRIA s 2 firsr lps on Discovery. A WOMAN KNOWS and HOW WILL I REMEMBER YOU . Those were not @PJC when last visited, 1998, several other I obtained. Iisten her live set 40 min on ch called DONALD TYE. I pay decent + freight . Your e if . 🇫🇮

Thanks a lot 🙂 And I must admit, I only guessed about their golf skills... It's just that I don't like how the player on the left bends his left arm and to the right, Red Michell seems to have no body rotation at all (it's all hands). I like Hawes' finish though 😇 Probably one thing is to pose for a photo shoot - another is to play on the course.

Yes - we do 😀

Thanks for the recommandations. My buddy Stunty with whom I co-host à weekly streams comes originally from Paris, he often mentions "Le Souffle Continu" and "Dizonord" when it comes to go record shopping in the French capital 😊

@@frenchvinyladdict Ha yes, I really like Le Souffle Continu", lots of great books there too. Never went to "Dizonord', I suspect it opened after I left the city. "Paris Jazz Corner" is still the best because of the crazy amount of records and I think you can still get very decent prices there. As for classical music which is my main interest, "La Dame Blanche" et "Melomania" are very good.

They have moved to Sommiers in the south of France. We go regularly and the shop is very good too. I have just posted their Facebook page in the comments. Rents in Paris were too high and a number of passionate customers helped them set up this amazing club.

Thanks a lot for sharing your story and your kind words 😊 Oh - to live in Paris is something I dream of. Even if it would be only for a few months - but long enough to get the feeling of "everyday lift" there. My wife is not averse to the idea - so who knows...

@@frenchvinyladdict Thanks for your comment 👍 I know of Stunty from other YT channels (he knows a lot about "unknown", special releases too) - I'll check out your stream (plus Le Souffle Continu and Dizonord next time I'm in Paris ) 🙂

@@georgemusic4all4seasons Thanks a lot - so glad you liked it 👍

@@EricVDB66 Yes - very much. I really enjoyed my trip 😊 Could have added a concert or two - must work on the concept for next time 😉

Thanks a lot 😊 Hope you’ll have a chance to go to Paris some day - sure you will enjoy it.

Thanks for your comment, Harry. In addition to being a fantastic city in itself, Paris is also a European jazz music capital with many good record shops. I think the Europeans (French, Danes, English etc.) were very hungry for international/American jazz from the 1950s onwards. It can still be felt, I think.

Thanks for your kind words Luigi - and for following me 👍 I have since I bought the box also bought the Craft releases (33 rpm of 4 of the records) - and I think these sounds just as good… The box is still nice - but if Craft continues the series, I guess that would be the better and 1/3-of-the-price way to go.

@@Claus-CaptainPhoenixCorner Sure! I have the Craft releases of LIve at the Village Vanguard ad Waltz for Debby, but they are still sealed as well... so I'll wait to see if Craft continues the series: if so, I'll keep the box sealed and I'll try so sell it. Thanks!

Hi - thanks for watching and asking. I don't do much in 7"/singles 🙃 but have just cleaned one to give you an answer (I have also watched David Denyer's - very long - video). My findings are: If you fill the water tank to the 7" mark (which is filling it to its absolute max.) the HG cleans the 7"/singles on the entire surface except for the 4-6 mm closest to the label. On my 7"/singles there is no recorded music in this area (the 5 mm closest to the label). So DD's assertion that it cleans only half the record doesn't hold up - but you'll have to fill the tank to the max. and be prepared to refill it frequently. Also, I add a few drops of detergent ("rinse aid"/"drying aid" - also used in a dishwasher) - it helps the water get to the record/grooves and it dries faster. Now that we're at it - 2 more things: DD's suggestion to add water to the US-container (not the tank) I will NOT recommend - at the 7" mark the tank is already full. and It's perfectly fine to let the water stay in the tank for some days, if you only clean one/a few records at a time. You don't have to empty and refill unless the water in the tank gets cloudy (and the filter darker from dirt). For me this happens after 10-30 cleanings depending of how dirty the records are. Good luck with your HumminGuru - I'm happy with mine (after approximately 800-1000 cleaned records).

@@Claus-CaptainPhoenixCorner Hi Claus, many thanks for your excellent reply. Obviously with you having cleaned 800+ records, then you know all about it and I'll gladly take your advice. My new unit just arrived yesterday. Hey Ho!

@@apollomemories7399 Congrats - hope you'll be just as satisfied with it. Another small tip. When refilling the US-container (from the tank): After holding the tank and pouring the first 1/4 of the water into the US-container then place it vertically on its short side/end and let the rest of the water run into the container from this position. In this way you don't have to holdt the tank in your hand until it's empty. DD doesn't do this - makes me crazy just to watch it... 😆

@@Claus-CaptainPhoenixCorner Thanks Claus, yes, I did actually think of that refill issue almost immediately thinking "surely I don't have to stand here pouring it in very time?" Regards the operation, what I have noticed is that the machine does not seem to activate correctly with some records and the air bubble reaction is negligible and nothing is happening. I've checked everything, water level correct, record sitting correctly etc, but the machine simply will not operate. It goes through the cleaning cycle followed by drying, so essentially the record gets wet then dried. There's been zero ultrasonic process. I've just cleaned a few now and the machine cleaned one, but not the next, but cleaned the one after. Very strange. Perhaps I have a faulty unit?

@@apollomemories7399 My HG makes a very audible (and annoying) high frequency noise when I use it. I've found that this noise coincidences with the machine working properly. If however I by accident get the record mis-placed (so it doesn't sit/rotate correctly because it is not in place with the "rollers"/wheels in the container) the noise is not the same - and the cleaning is almost non-existing. Also, I've had a few (3-4 out of several hundreds) records that must have been just a little bit smaller/to small - these the HG did not rotate (and therefore not clean properly). I had to push them to one of the sides by hand to get them to rotate. These are the only malfunctions, I've experienced. If this doesn't "allign" with your experiences or troubles, there might be some sort of defect with the HG. I hope not - but maybe you can contact the HG team. BTW: Adding a surfactant (the thing from the dish-washer - just 5-6 drops/tankfull) made a BIG difference. Without it some records didn't seem to "receive" the water - it just kind of bounced off the record. I guess you have added surfactant already? If not, this would be the first thing to try. Good luck!

Thanks for your comment 🙂 It is a great BE-reissue: Great sounding, flat, noise-free etc. - one can buy this with confidence. The interplay between the 3 musicians is good - though it's even better at "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" (and the others w. Scott LaFaro). The Cannonball albums are great too. With Miles at "Kind of Blue", Cannonball is the calm and "polite" sax-player - compared to Coltrane. But here (app. 10 years later) his playing is in some places more "wild" - but not over the edge though. Good luck collecting 👍

Ja - de havde et fint udvalg. Jeg var temmelig og positivt overrasket 🙂 Udvalget i de københavnske butikker er jo større - men køerne er også længere...

Thanks Richie. Agree with you (and Mazzy) on the 2 x 45 rpm matter - but others seem to love the (often) minor acoustic advantage and accept that the original flow is broken up (Melinda, Chat Kassem and others). I enjoy your channel and your no-nonsens approach (though I might not dig the sometimes rather loud back ground music so much 😉)

Good to hear - I need to go home to my stereo… soon… 😊

Thanks Tony - I’d had taken the Mal Waldron too, but it wasn’t there. Looking forward to listen to them when I get back home later in the week 😊

Thanks Mazzy - yes that store was a pleasant surprise 😊

Thanks Klaus - greetings from another Claus 😅

Good to hear - I'm still not back in my music room.... But tomorrow 😀 I have a few of the "Dexter in Radioland" records and like them too. I'll look for the rest - the Danish Broadcasting Company (who recorded them) normally knew what they were doing. Thanks for your comment 👍

Great story ! I guess that it was both hard and at the same time full of possibilities to be a (jazz) musician back in the days. Read in "Time Remembered" (by Bill Evans' last drummer Joe LaBarbera) that towards the end, Evans had got alle three musicians payment in advance (to pay for his heavy cocaine misuse), so when they asked the club for payment after the show, they didn't get any...

Great - I can't wait to get home to my music room and stereo.

Thanks - can’t wait to get home to my stereo 😀

Thanks for your comment. I use my iPhone (11 Pro) as camera and an external microphone (but the build in mic could do it). Plenty of light is always good for picture quality. Good luck with making your own videos.

@@Claus-CaptainPhoenixCorner thanks!

Thanks for your comment. I already made a re-upload w. the volume turned up (as much as possible from the recording made)… Can’t you hear me still?

@@Claus-CaptainPhoenixCorner Sounds a little better guess i'm just spoiled

That's my feeling too, Mike. Looking forward to hearing your take on twofers 👍 And even if I love the superb sound quality on audiophile releases, I still find a great pleasure when I pick up a really good record for "no money" (for example on a twofer).

Must have been great (I never saw them myself). I guess they have been an effective live band.

Just checked 6-7 of the ones I have here. There is printing on all of them: The record number at the upper part of the spine and the title of the album in the lower third.

@@Claus-CaptainPhoenixCorner Thanks I have Nathan Davis Live in Paris 3-LP edition from Sam Records. Comes with blank side (spine). Makes it hard to know what it is when on the shelf, sandwiched between other LPs. I also thought the couple of the ones you showed in this video were blank but that could be just due to the lighting. All the best.

@@drazenbabich This is also one of my pet peeves with Sam Records LPs, some come with text on the spine some don't, but some that do sometimes are printed upside down :( I wish Fred applied some consistency when it comes to those things.

🙃

Thanks for the hint, Trevor. I'll check the Randy Weston out - hope it's not to "archival". I find that I tend not to play the ones I have where it sound the musicians are playing "inside a shoo box" - even if the music itself is good. Maybe you could say how this one sounds "shoo box"-wise?

Thanks 🙂 Yes - but a little expensive candy shop 😉. Sam's releases are not very expensive - except for the Artisans (they are € 100,- each!!!). I have bought almost all the Sam releases when they were released, so I didn't buy any when visiting Fred his time - but bought some others (new and used). I plan to make a video of my purchases on my Paris visit - had 25 jazz records in the bag on my way home 😁.

Thanks 👍 Yes - that tape sounded terrific (even if I didn’t know the system/speakers in the shop, I could tell it was up there). Plan/hope to make a “Vinyl shopping in Paris” next week 😊

Thanks Regina - Though he’s busy, Fred is such a nice person to talk to 👍

@@Claus-CaptainPhoenixCorner A few days ago I made a video unboxing my latest 4 records sent from Fred, but the video is in German.
