I’d say that Analogue Productions did a pretty good job on this album. 45rpm, Ryan K Smith.

Yes, and I have an SACD that sounds superb. But this is the rehearsal in studio. The live performance deserves a great reissue. . .but it never has as I think the only existing recording is sub par. This was before videotape and I think only an off the air private recording exists–that has been out on bootleg LP.
I second that as when I spun it I wasn’t left wanting. Sounds spectacular on my systems, four of which are fully capable of spinning a 45er.
I think the actual broadcast though had slightly better performances. Wish we could have that in this quality.

A beautiful, silky album, as is typical of Caymmi’s artistry as a musician AND producer.
Dori Caymmi “Kicking Cans”
A fine recording of these mellow offerings, somewhat reminiscent of offerings on the MA label, and the work of Charlie Haden/Steve Swallow. Demonstration quality.

with all the rancor, mellow is right
Depends on one’s mood. Across the recording the tone is rather mellow, at times a bit sleepy.
Ana Kravanja – violin, viola, voice, frame drums, objects
Elisabeth Harnik – piano, objects, ringing stones

Elisabeth Harnick is a current personal favorite. I keep nudging Dave Rempis to have Elisabeth tour the US with him, in a line-up similar to Ear Scratcher.

First time I’ve fired up my digital side (shiny disks) in months. It’s so weird not having to get up.

I listened to “Oro Negro” again–it was really sounding great. Adventure Music is a label to trust for great sounding releases.
Now on to

Micheal Formanek Elusion Quartet has a new release, while this is not it it is the most current CD I have from this fine line-p. Looking forward to obtaining a copy of their latest as well.

MIles Davis “Jazz at the Plaza” Sony lp facsimile 20bit SBM cd.
I have several versions of this, and decided to play this one today. . . though this is not the best recording, with wonky stereo artifacts, the music is outstanding. Cannonball plays two awesome solos here.
