Maybe it’s the historian in me, but one of the things I like about Record Store Day is the occasional opportunity to relive the experience of hearing music for the first time on a physical medium, never before available or streamed. I’m old enough to remember that being the way of things, so maybe it’s nostalgia at work. But either way, the newly released Roy Hargrove concert album Bern (recommended here by Nate Chinen, who wrote the liner notes) was worth the hour-long wait in line.
