I had to share this.
I have lots of new music to explore and one box was full of jazz with half of it being Duke Ellington.
Since I only owned three Ellington LPs before, this box multiplied my Ellington collection by a factor of eight!

This one I had to clean up and play right away. There was nothing in it - it was clean.
I know it's not one of the more desirable releases, according to Discogs, but I am pleased to have it. It sounds wonderful!
It's their pic.

Reply #53 - 04/19/23 at 18:59:19 That's a fantastic album in any pressing! I also have "Jazz Party" -- the mono release, a Six Eye Columbia. It too is a fantastic listen. Jimmy Rushing, and Dizzy Gillespie on board make it a fun one.

This one is a "Six Eye" Columbia release as well.
Most of the other Ellington albums are mono and I am not as averse to mono as I used to be.

I mean I deliberately made my garage system full mono for a number of reasons.
One of which, when you have a large "voice" even in mono, it still fills a room floor to ceiling, past the walls and even farther beyond sometimes, depending upon the recording.

I know many would not listen to Eddie Arnold, but one recording I have I swear his "mouth" is twenty feet tall, establishes itself below the floor and his piano is forty feet wide, from a mono recording.

I sometimes look up and have to pause a minute because I heard something fabulous coming from behind me. I know it's a phasing trick of how the recording came out and the way the reproduction interacted with the room, but the depth, height, width we can achieve with pure mono can not be discounted.

I am anxious to continue my exploration of this stack of stuff. Most of what I have pulled out has proven to be quite a bit above a VG or a VG+ grade, you might find commonly.

My grading system, I call them closer to "cherry" meaning they do not look touched for the most part.

It seems that the ones he archived in this way and placed in special boxes are a measure above the typical old record grade most people expect from a sixty year old recording.

Another beautiful album, does not look touched.

I don't think this is Meldau's first album, but it seems to be one of his first from what I can find.
It's a nice listen. I have both volumes. I have not heard Vol. 2 yet. It is in perfect condition as well.

This is why it will take months to go through this stack of LPs!
I can not remain on task.

This one is the double LP. Amazing condition, except for some scuffing on the jacket. It has obviously been shuffled around some before it entered caring hands. The discs are perfect. "Mack The Knife" starts this one off. I love it!

I'm a Duke nut so I have this material, but within a multi-cd set that Verve released of the entire recorded output of the concerts at Antibes that year (most without Ella). Incredible music. Ellington rules.

I have actually enjoyed and sometimes even preferred many modern remasters of classic LPs.
I'm guessing that your CD collection sounds great.

I wouldn't call myself a Duke nut, but I don't want to miss one either.

There is a local university radio station that does an afternoon "big band" show and it is coincidentally on during my drive time. If they are on the air, I'm playing that while I commute!
I slow down and just listen.
Radio does not often do much for me, but in a car, yeah. Especially with some BB music playing!

This show kind of brought me back to Duke after I thought I had heard it all. Boy, did I have some lessons ahead!

When I first got into Duke I thought the earliest "jungle" stuff was the best. That was forty years ago! Then I became a huge fan of the Columbia era--the fantastic sound drew me in. Then the period I liked least, the last decade, drew me in. Then I went into the thirties and forties. . . and realized. . .Duke was alway so deep into music and had his incredible stable of musicians to draw on, write for, and inspire and be inspired by, that all decades of Duke are worth exploring.

Also the more I listen to jazz as a whole the more I realize his influence as a pianist, writer and arranger and bandleader is pervasive and deep.

My favorites of his change, but I always love listening to the Ellington Orchestra.

Ellington's influence can never be ignored.
When I first began "trying" to get into jazz in addition to my electric hard rock and acoustic bluegrass influences, I was mostly put off and it took years for me figure out that is/was because all my "friends" were trying to get me to enjoy smooth stuff.
I mean I've heard enough Earl Klugh that I get an almost Pavlovian vomitous response if I'm not prepared to be disgusted.

I know I am attracting hate by being so cruel and singling out one artist I'm done with, but it took me a while to find what good jazz was. I'm talking about my early twenties.
I love all the bop guys and most any sax player worth his reeds and brass players worth a fresh spit valve cork.
Singers came later for me and Big Band orchestra, even later.

I have "discovered" Duke Ellington in several ways over time, get full and leave. But, I always return and find something I had not experienced before.
I'm here now and I have quite a lot more music to play, right in my hands.
I don't see myself "leaving" again.

I'm done with so many artists it's not funny. I can be happy for those who like to listen to them but I don't want to. When I split away from rock and music on the radio in the 'eighties there was little going back for me, I hear that music now and I just don't want to. Jazz, Brazilian, classical, that's where my listening heart is.

Ellington had the whole history of African American music within his work, and that work can be explored over a lifetime. The Maestro.

You know how sometimes you are stricken with an earworm that won't go away and the only way to kill it is to find that song and play it?

"Give It Away" was stuck under my hat yesterday and I awoke with the same affliction, so I went to find this on Tidal and beat the song out from between my ears.

Now, I've heard this song a thousand times on more than a dozen systems, and I kind of like it.
When I worked in a portrait studio there was fellow, a little older than the average youngster SO into the newly emerging Alternative scene, who tried SO hard to be cool.
He played Alternative constantly and this song came up fairly often.

Oddly, this morning hearing it on my F15s and Decware amps for the first time ever, I heard a jaw harp playing in the background cacophony. I never knew they had used one of those large jaw harps. I had never heard it before.

Just to make damn sure the earworm was dead and gone, I played the song through a couple more times. I do "kinda" like some of the music these guys put out.
They perform with a very rare high level of energy that appeals to me.

That’s about the only album I ever got into by the RHCP, DD. Gonna have a listen again right now. Several of their others are enjoyable for a spin but lack that long-term listenability.
I think one of the things I enjoy most about hifi is the range of music it allows me to appreciate. On any given day I can have an infinite range of music styles playing and enjoy them all.

Geno, "Cry Of Love" and "Rainbow Bridge" are two albums I have in mind as what we could have had more of, if things had gone differently in September 1970.

... and to think where his music could have gone with his latest interests at the time.

I was at school, had smuggled a contraband radio into the school building and I just walked out, headed eight miles home when I heard.
I was done!

I recently bought the modern Kramer remasters of those LPs and all his studio albums that Kramer had reworked.
Music I never want to be without!

Thelonious Monk "The Classic Quartet" Candid cd 2023

After waffling I decided to order this new cd even though I do have a budget early cd of this in storage. This new remaster certainly would sound better than that cd in a side by side comparison. And it's a great performance.

On the same day in Tokyo the Monk Quartet did this tv show performance, and a concert released by Columbia/Sony as a 2 disc set. The latter is stereo, this TV performance was recorded in mono.

From amazon.com

Reply #95 - 06/16/23 at 18:03:35 Currently sitting in my work truck and streaming music in Tidal. This one from Leo Parker is very good. Going to have to listen to it again on my reference system when I get home from work. I may have to seek this one out on vinyl.
