I happily did the opposite, our rooms, systems and tastes are all different. Then I replaced the US RVGs with. Japanese other versions, and I still collect the Japanese 24 Bit by RVG.
Yesterday: Albert King - I’ll Play the Blues for You Today: New Soil. I only listened to this once before and probably not very attentively either since it was as if I’d heard it for the first time. I was impressed and loving the playing by Walter Davis Jr. (not a name you hear too often) and Pete LaRoca Sims.
If they are black i have occasionally used black pencil crayons where the black cover colour has started to have light spots ringwear but i imagine that is a act of heresy here
1999 Blue Note Featuring Jason Moran, Steve Turre, Gary Thomas, Tarus Mateen, Eric Harland Recorded 1970 / 2021 CD reissue McCoy Tyner - piano, wooden flute Andrew White - alto saxophone Ted Dunbar - guitar, Buster Williams - bass, Billy Hart - drums, African percussion, Mtume - congas, percussion "Songai" Sandra Smith - vocals (tracks 1–2)
Haven’t played the Grateful Dead in a while and at first it’s a surprise to hear how “bad” the vocals are. But soon, my ear adjusted and I wanted to play it again as soon as it ended. Unfortunately my dog needs a walk. Recorded live in 1980; 15 tracks.
Nala Sinephro - Space 1.8 Thumbnail. Click to enlarge. There was interesting bits underlying the overarching ambient atmosphere, especially in the drumming. When given some space on one cut, Nubya Garcia's tenor is also a highlight. But even with the good bits, across the length of the album, I still get some of the yawn factor that comes with ambient music for me.
From Unlocked Recordings: Colpix CP 437, mono, recorded 11/62. This time the Al Cohn & Manny Albam bossa nova arrangements are of American rather than Brazilian tunes but they are still enjoyable. With Phil Bodner, Ron Odrich, Jerry Sanfino & Spencer Sinatra (flutes), Sol Schlinger (bass clarinet), Jim Hall (solo guitar), Barry Galbraith (rhythm guitar), Milt Hinton (bass), Sol Gubin (drums) and Tommy Lopez, Willie Rodriguez & Ted Sommer (percussion). Producer: Jack Tracy.
I have multiple copies of this album. This is my favorite Jazz album of all time personally. It is in my top 5 albums of all time for me. "I'm Old Fashioned" is my favorite track on the album, and I have it on multiple play lists. Just an amazing chill tune that shows the carefulness and delicate style of his playing when he wants to and not have a "note blitz" .
Duke Ellington: Black, Brown, and Beige (From DROffline MkII) (Duke Ellington - The Complete Columbia Studio Albums Collection 1951-1958 )
Just received the lp version direct from Steven Jaeger at AUM Fidelity the James Brandon Lewis Red Lilly Quintet For Mahalia, With Love. Absolutely beautiful. James Brandon Lewis: tenor saxophone, arrangements Kirk Knuffke: cornet William Parker: bass Chad Taylor: drums Chris Hoffman: cello
i have that McLean cd. I only really know Davis’ work from Davis Cup (Blue Note) and a solo tribute to Mink on Mapleshade which I no longer own. I felt like his playing was too close to Monk on that one. Ended up trading it in to thin the herd.
Listened to this live album featuring Quentin Warren and the immense Billy Hart. The sound quality is fairly good. The content is really exciting. The Amazing Jimmy Smith Trio - Live At The Village Gate
Serious question. To those who are into 40’s, 50’s, 60’s jazz. Are you not bothered by the quality of recordings or is it because nostalgia plays a role as well in your enjoyment? I am from 70’s and beyond so for me sound quality is really good for most recordings in the 70’s.
Not nostalgia for me, I came to '40s, '50d. '60s jazz in the '70s. I prefer the way it sounds as well as what's being played. By the mid '50s you could hear everything perfectly well, and even earlier it's not that bad. '70s abd later recordings often sound weird and unnatural to me, although there are recordings right up to the present day that I enjoy. But to me everything after the introduction of electric recording in the '20s was diminishing returns, and if the music is as important as King Oliver with Louis I'll listen to truly lo fi.
