Parent Label: Henri Selmer Paris That's the instrument manufacturer.

I'm NOT actually only talking about SACD discs. My SACD holding is less than 1 percent of my collection, and I predominantly listen to Redbook and LPs. My main playback system for digital though does utilize DSD format as the final stage, rather than PCM. I don't feel I'm confused, sorry. Perhaps I am not explaining things as well as I could, I have been building audio systems for nearly fifty years and have accumulated some knowledge and experience but I'm not an engineer nor a professional reviewer. I do understand that cds are "dying or dead," and that various non-physical formats are filling the void. It just doesn't matter to me especially as the sound is different, and in my opinion and to my tastes in my systems not in a better way. And I have more cds than I need and can still find what I want on cd.

How much does Amazon charge for those Corhinogical Classics CDrs? Some of the originals have become cost-prohinigive for me.

Well, I agree with you that you have a superior system there.  I think you are somewhat confused about why and the bigger picture in digital audio.  If you are going to proclaim that you prefer physical cds you should make clear early on that you are actually talking about SACD disks and equipment.

I am not so sure. The label shown further above with a catalog no. of Y 7129 looks like this number came out of an ongoing series. "Jazz - American Series" reads like this was a release series of masters originally recorded in the USA (there were PLENTY of labels in early post-war France - and certain other European countries - that thrived on such release practices). Discogs shows these from that "Jazz-American Series" series (and their listing may well be incomplete): https://www.discogs.com/label/1297501-Jazz-American-Series And Discogs has this on the Selmer label as such: https://www.discogs.com/label/391701-Selmer?page=1 I am not sure what "Série Medium" means for this label but it looks like one of several record series released in parallel.   BTW, I stand corrected (again ...) for the BARONET release of these tracks: According to Discogs this was a DANISH re-release following the Selmer release (on a label launched by BARON Timme Rosenkrantz - shouldn't we have guessed?): https://www.discogs.com/release/20436736-Coleman-Hawkins-Hawks-Variations I'll check my (complete) collection of Jazz Hot from that period to see if there is a review of Y-7129 somewhere but this will take time.
