Wow. My system has never sounded better than it has this week. In part I think the Marshall 0C3W that I have had in are the catalyst. Anyway--I have zero desire to change--I have all the power I need and amazing sound.

Right before I had to go out to dinner with Lucy and in-laws yesterday a fat package from Japan came with reissue cds I had been waiting months to be released and arrive. Didn't get to experience any of them yesterday but have so far listened to four.

First off was Kenny Burrell "Asphalt Canyon," which I only had on a pretty noisey LP in the past. A very nice remaster!

This was followed by Alice Coltrane, "Lord of Lords" from the Impulse 60 series of her releases released this week. A slight upgrade from earlier cd releases. . . great music.

Then on to an SHM-SACD of Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette "Standards, Vol. 1." I played this to death when it first came out, mostly on cassettte, and practiced drums to it over and over, especially the interesting groove of "God Bless the Child," which inspired a great drum pattern for a song the band I was then in, "Caution: Flammable" had put together and was probably our most popular, "King of L.A." This SHM-SACD sounded a bit bright and unfocused, but when I reversed the "Phase" on my DAC it came into both a nicer tonal balance and a better imaging and soundstage situation. Nice!

Then on to John Coltrane, "Ballads," also a new SHM-SACD. Not sure it's my favorite digital version of this amazing title, at least not yet, but it sure does sound good today.

My system has been just sounding so damned good this month. All the money I've thrown at it over this last decade has been worth it.

Another one that I think sounds slightly better with "phase" reversed.

The upcoming Bootleg Series had me reach for this.

"Jokerman" is just such a great track. Of its time but has it's own specific charm with the guitar sounds and their blend.

Nothing BUT music for me this afternoon - mondo listening session. I plopped some 807's into Rachael, and... well, there goes the day.



What can I say? Louis Johnson on bass, this album is great fun. In the same mode, there's Herbie's funky outing (also with Louis Johnson):

I have continued to work my way through Herbie Hancock albums in chronological order. The next one which I feel like is a keeper is "The New Standard" (sorry Future Shock, you're not quite my cup to tea). Great playing and well recorded to boot...

Alice Coltrane "Kirtan: Kuriya Sings" Impulse/Universal Japan SHM-CD



A newly configured version (stripped down) of the original (cassette) release from Alice Coltrane. Pretty amazing actually.

I ordered this months ago from Japan and didn't realize there was a US release as well. That one is arriving today. I'll be able to do a comparison.

"Le Ca: New York Romance" Barney Wilen, Venus CD.



I have three different cover versions of this release because it's an absolute favorite. Each feature his lovely companion, Marie Moor.

This is an RVG recording, and you can sense the seriousness and yet joy of recording in this venue that Wilen likely felt. And it is a great showcase for the beautiful beautiful sound that Wilen got out of all the horns he played. Beautiful sound, beautiful melody and innovative interpretation. He was a master who should have recorded more, but I think he recorded just as much as he wanted to.

Bass – Ira Coleman
Drums – Lewis Nash
Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone – Barney Wilen
Piano: Kenny Barron

Recorded at the Rudy Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on June 19-20, 1994.

A musician friend of mine created a two cd set by just excising Bix Biederbecke solos and pastiching them together. A fascinating listen!

Time to play something from the Birthday Boy!

This is the fourth volume of a great series of discs from Storyville featuring great-sounding live appearances from the All Stars in Scandinavia. I think I like this volume best but all four are dynamite.

"Louis Armstrong in Scandinavia, Vol. 4"

Louis Armstrong and the All-Stars, "Satchmo 1950" Universal Japan UHQCD, 2021.

Same music as the April 1950 material on the very first Armstrong Mosaic set. Sure sounds good on this disc.

Teagarden, Bigard, Hines. . . this is one heavy-hitting group of All-Stars.

Kenny Burrell "Asphalt Canyon Suite" Verve/Universal Japan SHM-CD



This album keeps climbing high in my esteem. And the engineering is just right, as is the mastering on this new cd from Japan.

Now listening to this one again, the US cd this time.

This fascinates me. This is truly spiritual music. The organ and organ pedal sounds she produces are wonderful.

Alice Coltrane "Kirtan--Turiya Sings" Impulse cd.
