This is a remastered version, but it has been done with a light hand and it still sounds very real. Easy to imagine that you are listening to a live performance,
Alice Coltrane “Spiritual Eternal: The Complete Warner Bros. Studio Recordings” Disc 1

I listened to this primarily for ‘Harke, Harke’, and the first recorded use of col legno in Western Music.

Disc one of the new nineteen disc box set from the Grateful Dead, “The Pacific Northwest '73 - '74”
Takes about six songs before the engineer has the sound mixed just right. . . but the sound is then excellent.
Beautiful packaging. This box is big!

One of my very favorite Sarah recordings. . . mainly because I love Jimmy Rowles.

TIDAL has a new playlist of the 500 best songs of all time according to Rolling Stone. They didn’t have digital versions of all of them. They found 470. I’ve had it as background music in my office all day.

Selected that one as a favorite playlist in Bubble, deleted all songs i don’t like, regularly adding tracks back while listening. Now it’s my personified one often played during work and while enjoying my garden

Contra la indecision by the Bobo Stenson Trio - Qobuz 24/96
“Piano-trio jazz doesn’t get much more perfect than this, both in terms of performance and recording – the latter particularly special, even by the high stands of the always-reliable ECM label. With bassist Anders Jormin, who has worked with Stenson for more than 30 years and is credited with more than half of the compositions here, and superb percussionist Jon Fält, Stenson’s trio is the same last heard on 2012’s ‘Indicum’. […] And it’s instantly clear what’s on offer: close-recorded, delicate piano, weighty yet subtle bass and gloriously detailed work on skins and cymbals – I urge you to listen to their driving, rhythmic exploration of Erik Satie’s ‘Élégie’, which is totally delicious. This album is never less than totally accomplished, on every possible level.”

I just got done listening to show # 2 (6/24/73 Portland). No major engineering hiccups in the 2nd show, at least not the problems of the first 3-4 songs of the first show. Sound is good on the FLAC 24x192, but I also bought the box set too as a collector. Still undecided which show I like better Vancouver or Portland. On to the next show, Seattle (6/26/73).
