Hey Captain Phoenix - just discovered your channel and really loving it! May I suggest an idea for a future video? I live in the US and while I know some European jazz artists, my knowledge here is really lacking. So I would love to see your perspective on Danish/European artists that may be somewhat under the radar and suggestions for records to buy. Thanks - Eric B, Kansas City
Hey Eric - thanks a lot for your kind words and good suggestion 🙂 Actually I do plan to make videos of Danish artists - combined w. an overview of the international/ american artists that came to live here (Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster, Horace Parlan, Idrees Suliman, Sahib Shihab and several others). These musicians became a part of and lifted the Danish (European) jazz-community and made a lot of records which could well stand greater attention. Thanks again - Claus.
Thanks Captain, great video! Really enjoyed it. Coloured vinyl has always been dreadful quality compared to black has that now changed? How did the village vanguard sound? Its on my wishlist although hopefully Acoustic Sounds brings it out again one day. Many thanks
Thanks Mark - really glad you like the video 🙂 The One-Step Village Vanguard is actually still in the shrink: The reason is that I've ordered the 22 LP Riverside Recordings box from Analogue Productions (mastered by Kevin Gray from the analogue tapes). I hope to get it later this year - and expect to sell the One Step to help finance the box (which is not cheap, but should sound great).
