dsd256 is d/l-ing
Once it’s done d/l-ing (I had to Google what that stood for), let me know what you think.
An excellent Pure DSD256 transfer from a 15ips 2-track tape. HDTT customer Michael F., whose comments I’ve found very reliable, says in the reviews section of the webpage:
“One of the great jazz albums in near perfect sound. HDDT’s new mastering of Clark Terry’s legendary Color Changes brings the album’s name to vivid life. One hears all the colors of Terry’s glorious flugelhorn and his sidemen with depth and richness not to be heard on any CD or the streaming services. Terry’s sophisticated musicianship coupled with masterful arrangements and original material makes this one of the great jazz albums from one of jazz’s greatest epochs.”

JLawry,
Rushton’s quote of Michael F. is spot on.
It’s like each note is an explosion of color of varying sizes
onto the blackest background.
I especially liked
“Brother Terry”
“Nahstye Blues” and
“Chat Qui Peche”
Yup, but every track had its own personality and color.
Listen to that Portraits recording on Chesky if you get a chance (Qobuz / Apple Music)
Just downloaded the album Undercurrent by Bill Evans and Jim Hall. If you know Bill Evans’ or Jim Hall’s work, you will notice that both are playing differently here than on their other recordings. And the sound quality is so revealing of every note. The two renditions (one an alternate take) of “My Funny Valentine” - very different from each other - demonstrate that these guys undoubtedly have some classical chops! When I bought it, I assumed since it’s just piano and guitar, it wouldn’t be a big challenge for a sound system, but the way it was recorded definitely makes this come alive in high-end audio.
“Three Star Hornpipe”
Jean Ritchie & Doc Watson - At Folk City
“What Will I Do With The Baby O”
Violet Hensley & Family - The Whittling Fiddler
“Going Up Brushy Fork”
Violet Hensley - Old Time Fiddle Tunes
“One Eyed Gopher”
“Devil Eat the Groundhog”
“Donna’s Got a Rambling Mind”
“Granny Will Your Dog Bite?”
Hey Roger, are you sure you put this post in the right place? I couldn’t find any of those recordings on HDTT…?
I’ve missed the right thread on more than a few of late.
As I like to say (being in my late 60s), don’t get old.
