Tubby Hayes "Return Visit" cd 4 from the complete Fontana recordings box set. Roland Kirk on board!

Sounds very good. But so does the Classic Records cd of the US Smash version ("Tubby's Back in Town")

This high-res (24/96) release landed on Qobuz recently. As usual with ACT Music the sound quality is outstanding.

Played around with tubes today. Probably shouldn't have, ate up more time than I'd like.

Listened to. . .

Bill Evans Complete on Verve, disc 10 (Intermodulation with Jim Hall, and A Matter of Conviction material with Gomez and Philly Joe.)

Grateful Dead, "Blues for Allah" Mobile Fidelity SACD. I love the amazing guitar sounds on this album, Jerry enjoying a fantastic instrument and really layering a great tapestry.

Chick Corea and Origin at the Blue Note, the single disc version. Love this band, great live sound as well.

John Coltrane, "Ballads," Japanese Platinum SHM-CD

Stan Getz "Getz au Go Go" Verve Essentials cd.

Lovely stuff.  This disc is for me what I imagine a highball is to many.

Grateful Dead, "Mars Hotel" Mobile Fidelity SACD. A favorite release of mine ever since '74.



It's ironic that I enjoy the song "Loose Lucy" so much. I have my own Lucy, my wife, who has been my friend since '78. Though she was never like the character in the song, she is instead my "Sunshine Daydream."

Duke Pearson, "Prairie Dog," Atlantic/Warner Japan cd.



Once you get used to hearing Pearson in the Atlantic Records sound and not the Blue Note sound this is a great listen. Spaulding, Coleman, Vick. . . great horns.

Listening right now to the BGO cd reissue of Miroslav Vitous "The Bass" (aka "Mountain in the Clouds")



Before that I listened to. . .

Antonio Carlos Jobim on the BGO cd reissue that combines "Tide" and "Stone Flower." I have other versions of these but at a great price I couldn't resist a reissue with both these albums--collaborations between Jobim and Deodata--on one disc. The remastered sound is very good. These are among my favorite Jobim albums; I love the way that Deodata has arranged these two sessions, and it's great to have Tom and Eumir both on guitars and pianos, either both playing the same instruments on a track or one playing another. I think my favorites are when both play pianos, or one plays an electric piano and one a piano.



And I had listened to an album that took me forever to get that was recommended to me as a Jobim nut. It's not a cheap one to get, and my first order I waited and waited for and it never arrived. I contacted the seller and he refunded me the money--I'm not really sure he ever really sent it to me. The second order was processed and then a week later the seller refunded my purchase price saying he didn't have it in stock. Finally I ordered a third time and received it. It was worth the wait.  Daniele di Bonaventura/Giovanni Ceccarelli "Eu Te Amo--The Music of Tom Jobim"

Yesterday I listened twice each to two new arrivals, cds by Cuban pianist Omar Sosa and the NDR Big Band, "Ceremony" and "Es: Sensual"

The draw for me was that Brazilian cellist/composer/orchestrator/arranger Jacques Morelenbaum arranged these compositions for Sosa and the band, and I love his work. Quite involving releases that I will enjoy listening to many times to come. Very well-recorded also.

This morning I started off with some great Brazilian jazz: Duduka Da Fonseca "Samba Jazz Fantasia." A great cast and recording.



Then somehow I got a hankering for Sonny Rollins music. That happens sometimes. Decided to spin two great albums that I listened to on the DCC gold cd editions:

Sonny Rollins "The Sound of Sonny" (Riverside Records)


Followed by
"Sonny Rollins and the Contemporary Leaders" (Contemporary Records)

Several months ago, I acquired several hundred classical albums from my great uncles collection. He passed away over 30 years ago, and the records had been tucked away in a back room at my cousins house. A conversation about music with her revealed “Daddy has shelves full of records”.  A closer examination revealed about 500 albums from the late 50’s thru the early 70’s. I went through them and got as many as I could. I’ll go back for another round soon. A treasure trove. I love the old labels as much as the music.

Nat Birchall Quartet "The Storyteller--The Music of Yusef Lateef"



This cd keeps jumping into my transport. It's great music (I've long been a Lateef fan and I've become a Birchall fan) and it's the kind of recording that lets you know how your system is doing--very well-recorded, acoustic instruments clearly and cleanly presented.

Followed by . . . .

A Helen Merrill that was as far as I know only released in Japan and that I have had a crappy MP3 version from someone. . . so happy to have this on the new UHQCD release from Japan. Not essential, unless like me you are someone who just has to have all of Merrill's work if possible. . . .

Helen Merrill "Love in Song"

Dana .. I loved the 1st season (including the music!) but never got around to watching the 2nd. Thanks for jogging my memory.

Been doing a lot of audiophile futzing (much to my dachshund's chagrin) but also a lot of excellent listening.

Re-listening to Hubert Laws recently has me investigating quite a few of my old "stoner jazz" favorites and then I've found a few new ones that would fall into that category.

Yesterday I listened to the Return to Forever on ECM (Japanese SHM-CD), then Keith Jarrett "Treasure Island" (Impulse, from one of the two box sets of this material), then Weather Report "Sweetnighter" from the first box set of their entire output.  Then I followed up with this one which has echoes of Weather Report to me as well as other fusions--love it:

Omar Sosa & NDR Big Band "Es: Sensual"




Then I followed the Jacques Morelenbaum trail and listened to this one, new to me and I think fantastic:

Myriam Alter, "Where is There"




Today I continued on a bit of a fusion bend with a ringer of a Jackie & Roy album, on Japanese CTI Supreme series Blu-Spec cd, "A Wilder Alias," and now I'm on to more of a classic jazz vein with the 12th cd in the "Complete Bill Evans on Verve" box set, Bill with Gomez and Philly Joe.

The system is sounding great. . . and I'm really enjoying the listening.

Wow, I forgot what a great recording "The Sheriff" is! A clear reminder despite all we obsess over in this crazy hobby of ours, the mastering rules.
