There is an explosion of new live unrecorded Jazz coming from European collectors on various sites. Many are from digital radio broadcasts which I believe are broadcast in higher bit rates than MP3.

Friday Freddie! Red Clay gets the plaudits (and arguably, quite rightly so) but I prefer this one . . . 1970/2014 Pure Pleasure Records – CTI PPAN 6007, CTI Records – CTI 6007
Friday Freddie #2! “We’re so sorry, Uncle Albert” . . . Rounding off a trilogy of CTI classics, which began with Red Clay and continued through Straight Life (Sky Dive is also great), comes Hubbard’s Grammy Award-winning, and arguably most popular record . . . 1971/2017 Pure Pleasure Records – PPANCTI6013, CTI Records – CTI 6013
I've seen this posted a couple of times on the forum and I just got another Cal Tjader album that I really like so I was going to jump on buying one of these SACDs of this however, I'm glad I checked Discogs while looking for this version to see I have another version under a different title and song arrangement. Stan Getz – Stan Getz With Cal Tjader Label: JVC – JVCXR-0218-2 Series: XRCD2 – Format: CD, Album, Reissue, Remastered Country: US Released: 1990 Genre: Jazz, Latin Style: Samba, Latin Jazz I guess I will have to put this on after I finish listening to The Byrds Untitled MFSL that I just put on
Because of your post I am giving the SACD a spin right now. Now I remember why I don't play this more often and why I haven't bought any of her releases since this once. I just find this release to be so pretentious with pseudo intellectual nonsense, musically and lyrically. I have everything she released before this and have seen her in concert. She's just not for me anymore, I guess?
That's too bad but it happens to me with some artists as well. I love all the MFSL SACD albums a lot but I'm so so with the later albums I have.
Jazz in Paris | MODERN JAZZ on the left bank (EmArcy/Universal) 3CDs in a sturdy box, all with individual cardboard sleeves - small booklet with recording details included. CD 1 (1958) JAZZ SUR SEINE - BARNEY WILEN with Milt Jackson, Percy Heath, Kenny Clarke & Gana M'Bow CD 2 (1955) MODERN JAZZ AU CLUB SAINT-GERMAIN - BOBBY JASPAR with Rene Urteger, Sacha Distel, Benoit Quersin & Jean-Louis Viale CD 3 (1955) CHET BAKER QUARTET PLAYS STANDARDS with Gerard Gustin, Jimmy Bond & Bert Dahlander These discs are all so good. I couldn't resist listening to them all back to back. The music is superb, as is the sound quality. This box is a great way to pick up 3 very cool CDs in one go - only problem is the box may now be deleted.
At least with someone like David Byrne, and Patricia Barber, their earlier releases at least, mostly knew how to rein in the jam-packed cleverness. Verse just tries way too hard, IMO.
