Listening to the AP SACD.
Miles Davis âBootleg Series Vol. 3â Sony Blu-Spec CD2 edition, disc 2 (Thursday Miles unedited)
I was about to play one of my copies of âMiles Davis at Fillmoreâ which is like audio comfort food for me as it was one of the first LP sets I bought when I returned to America from Africa. . . and then realized I hadnât played the more recent Bootleg Series of these Fillmore Shows uncut and unedited for a spell so I put on this disc. Great sound. . . even though the different instrumental orientation in the mix unnerves me a bit at times.
The upcoming Lennie Tristano set from Mosaic Records is finally available for pre-order. This seems a very interesting set. I pre-ordered.
Thatâs a very strong box set offering.
A fun EP from Angel Bat Dawid. Just who is she casting her gaze upon? Ancient to the Future.
Not the worst âfake stereoâ record out there.
Right now
Duke Ellington âJazz Partyâ Mobile Fidelity Lab gold cd.
Man this is a great session! I love each track. And killer sound!
Another one that I havenât listened to in too long. . .
Tom Jobim âAo Vivo Em Montrealâ
Count Basie Orchestra âLive at the Sandsâbefore Frankâ Mobile Fidelity SACD
Poor Hank! This was his last official recording and he is not his former self.
Right now
Bob Brookmeyer âTrombone Jazz Sambaâ Verve/Jazzplus cd
Itâs cold outside but warming up inside with this cd. It also includes the album âSamba Para Dosâ with Lalo Schiffrin.
Played loud and by the quality of this Tone Poet release, this recording is a late discovery and very accessible for me (I didnât identify it as necessary for me by just short checking it online n the years before)
Herb Ellis âMan with the Guitarâ
Dot Records/Universal Japan cd UCCU-8233, using 1997 master.
Herb Ellis with Teddy Edwards, Stan Levey, Ron Feuer, Monty Budwig
Such a cool guitar sound here, and overall the recording is quite nice.
Joe Williams and Dave Pellâs Prez Conference âPrez & JoeâIn Celebration of Lester Youngâ Crescendo cd
Joe Williams is in fine voice here. This cd is definitely not a victim of âthe loudness war.â I had to crank this one all the way up! This is the second cd today where I said âwow Budwigâwhat a bass player!â
