Hmmm, so my feelings on the Fred Hersch are mixed @melvin. I actually listened to both the albums you posted on Tidal - the Gabor Bolla was pretty good, and more my cup of tea. But what to make of "Breath by breath", that's much harder for me.

First, my biases. I'm very much a hard bop/post bop kind of guy, with a sprinkling of more modern. So in terms of genre it's... well, it's not that. It is pretty well recorded and very interesting. I'm not sure it's even Jazz in some ways, it makes its own genre. It's certainly very jazz influenced.

I loved the sections with the full rhythm section, and some of the string playing is very tasty. I have a feeling I need to listen to it a few more times to really get it. It's certainly a very tight group, and I am *glad* I played it through. But I am still not 100% sure what to make of it. Honest answer: I added it to my playlists, and I'll come back to it, but I need to listen more carefully to really make sense of it. Of course, Fred is a marvelous player, so there's that...

@drford .. thanks for sharing your thoughts on the album. I almost stopped playing it during the 1st song. I think "Jazz influenced" is a great descriptor. I'll have another listen when the mood strikes as well.

"Sunflower" got me in a CTI mood and so I'm now on the second disc ("Chicago Theme") in this 2 cd Hubert Laws set, "Morning Star / Carnegie Hall / Chicago Theme" on Beat Goes On.

A mixed bag overall but the arrangements on the first two albums and the innovative flute effects technology especially on the first album remain very interesting.



The mastering on these Beat Goes On CTI recordings is "meaty" and I wanted to hear how they are reproduced by my new DAC, which is a heavily modded (new transformers, EMF absorption material, and and analog board/Farad external linear power supply mod) example of the PS Audio DirectStream DAC that I have been using for years.

The differences are not subtle and are leading me to another level of playback. . .a level I had not thought I would experience. Each of these mods has gotten great feedback from DirectStream DAC users, and getting to hear them all at once incorporated into one package is. . . well. . .WOW.

Two sister recordings, favorites of mine, by Antônio Carlos Jobim, on one Beat Goes On cd.

Antônio Carlos Jobim, "Tide/Stone Flower"



I have masterings I favor a bit more of both, but having both on one cd is a nice thing indeed. Deodata arrangements... I think he did great arrangements at this time.

Lisa Sokolov "Presence"



A very interesting singer, lots of mult-tracked performances here. Her daughter is also an interesting singer.

Oddly enough she sometimes reminds me of Grace Slick.

David Bowie "Toy" from the latest (fifth) box set, "Brilliant Adventure." This is the first official release of the album.



This is a fascinating album. . . Bowie in 2000 re-arranging and re-recording songs from '64 to '71. The label decided not to release it at the time.  Pretty darned awesome sound on this edition, as is the case for these box sets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_(David_Bowie_album)

Just released is a three cd set including more material. . . I may get this in time.

That's a great one. I'm a big Lateef fan.

Right now
Disc 3 of Miles Davis "Bootleg Series Vol. 1" Sony Blu-Spec CD edition.



I was so excited when this first volume was released--a promising start to a great series of reissues.

Kenny Cox "Clap! Clap! The Joyful Noise!" Strata cd

Very different from his earlier work that is straight ahead jazz. But an interesting listen with cool engineering.

SFJazz Collective "Miguel Zenon Retrospective: Original Compositions, 2004 to 2016"

Disc 2, performances from 2010 to 2016

Zenon's contributions have been among my favorites of the SFJazz Collective discs I have, and this compilation is a great listen.

Okay this one is a little bit rarer, but given the knowledge here, some of y'all may have heard it. Hard to believe this was his first album as a lead.

If you ever can't decide between playing Jethro Tull or the Mahavishnu Orchestra, try this one. . . .

Charles Bell and the Contemporary Jazz Quartet "Another Dimension" Atlantic/Warner Japan cd (stereo)

A mono copy of this record was one of the first LPs I ever owned, and one of three jazz records from Atlantic that were in boxes of LPs given to Peace Corps volunteers in Swaziland (now Eswatini) in 1968 as a nice present. One of the volunteers that received these didn't like jazz and gave me three jazz LPs, this among them. (I think he wanted to be nice to me, but then again my Dad was his boss, the Director of the first Peace Corps program in Swaziland, he may have been sucking up, or both).



These albums (the other two were Leo Wright "Blues Shout" and Slide Hampton "Sister Salvation") seditiously over time turned me into the obsessive jazz explorer that I am.

I love this music. I still have the LP, in playable shape. Eventually Japan released this on cd, and in nice stereo in great sound.

Bill Evans Trio "On a Friday Evening" cd

Great sound. I think the Plangent Process should be used more often. A lot more often. Hopefully it will in the future. If I had a billion dollars I would dedicate a lot to somehow developing a home version for playback.

Keith is not like Miles. . . he'll look back.

One of my favorites from this trio.
