Just got this in from Discogs “Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack” Japanese LP with OBI and insert. This album took forever coming from a seller in Italy.
Well worth the weight…this blows the doors off my other USA version. The dynamics on this album is just amazing!! I even needed to dial my ZROCK2 back a bit, otherwise it would have been too bass heavy.

A new version of this monumental music will be out this week, sourced from a better source tape supposedly--that said I love the sound on this Japanese set and wanted to give the second disc a spin tonight. Rollins was really something else at this time (and beyond!)

I splurged and got the new re-pressing of the Thelonious Monk "Tenor" albums 7 LP box set from Analogue Productions. I had sold a few things, and bought it on impulse. I didn't have any audiophile versions of these albums and had not listened to them (in the Complete Riverside Recordings cd box set) for some time. . . maybe I should not have, but there you go.

Listening to the first LP, "Brilliant Corners," which is here in the mono mix. Sounds great with my current phono set up. Mastering by Kevin Gray and the pressing are excellent.

Sonny Rollins "A Night at the Village Vanguard" 2 cd set Blue Note US 2024

Released today a new version of this material purportedly from a better tape than any before.

It does really sound good. Does it sound better than my previous favorite, the Japanese "24 Bit by RVG" complete edition? Maybe, but I love the sound of that one (too).

I listened to Charlie Parker today from a four CD box set, "Boss Bird, Studio Recordings 1944-1951)":

I think this is "BeBop" style jazz, which I have always found challenging. While still challenging, I think I am getting familiar enough with this to start really enjoying it - but it is not something I can listen to all the time yet!

Finishing up the evening listening to the second recording in the Herbie Hancock "5 Original Albums" set, "My Point of View" from 1963:

I like Herbie Hancock, and here he has some other musicians I am becoming acquainted with and also like (Grant Green, Hank Mobley). Based on some wikipedia research, I think this might be "Hard Bop" or "Soul Jazz," which I think are more direct and straight-forward than the earlier "BeBop" style - the more melodic presentation makes it easier for a jazz neophyte like me get a handle on this music more quickly. Good to finish up the evening!

Reply #25187 - 04/29/24 at 00:25:46 Theo Hill "Reality Check" Posi-Tone cd Theo Hill - piano; Rhodes; synthesizer Joel Ross - vibraphone Rashaan Carter - bass; electric bass Mark Whitfield Jr. - drums This one has grown on me. I like it more now than I did when I bought it a few years ago. Joel Ross was the attraction, and he contributes strongly.
