    Isn't "intellectually challenged" the correct expression?
  2. J.A.W.
    Fair question. If Blue Note is producing hybrids in an effort to please as many people as possible, and if Rudy’s re-masters are held in high regard by the majority… then Blue Note may continue producing over-compressed SACD crap. Ah, I see what you mean. I'm afraid you may be right...
  3. J.A.W.
    Sorry, I don't understand - are you taking a wait-and-see approach because plenty of folks genuinely love RVG’s remasters? Well, I'm certainly not one of them... err... I don't want to repeat myself either

    This looks likely to be another "one-way e-mail"... I'd be very surprised if you'd get a reply.
  5. J.A.W.
    No, it doesn't - I've never heard the MoFi CD (forgot about it until you mentioned it), so I guess I should have said "...compared to the others that I've heard..."
  6. J.A.W.
    Or a degree in maths...

    The only CD issue that sounds decent compared to the others, at least in my opinion, is the TOCJ.

    Lon might have a point, the remastering might not be suited for very revealing, solid-state-based high-end systems. However, I decided to listen to the entire set again (not in one sitting, though ) and start with disc 10. So far, it sounds OK, mellower than I remembered.
  9. J.A.W.
    It's a wonderful set, but I don't like the sound (though it's indeed superior to those wretched early CD reissues): on my system and to my ears it sounds pumped-up and harsh, especially in the louder vocal parts. Pity.

    You lucky ..... You probably got his last copy. I asked him, but he couldn't get it (anymore)
  11. J.A.W.
    He tried, but...

    Thanks for the warning, Scott B)

    Sorry to disappoint you, but you can forget about most titles in this series, they're virtually impossible to get - especially The Shape of Jazz to Come; I've been chasing that one for ages...
  14. J.A.W.
    That's not quite true: there were two Ornette Coleman titles in the Japanese 20-bit K2 mini-LP sleeve series, Free Jazz (EastWest AMCY-1152) and The Shape of Jazz to Come (don't know the number, it's the only one mentioned here that I don't have), and there were also two Charles Mingus reissues in that series, Pithecanthropus Erectus (EastWest AMCY-1183) and The Clown (EastWest AMCY-1173). I also have six Coltrane 20-bit K2 mini-LP sleeve titles and the Warne Marsh, and I agree with Late: they're terrific!
  15. J.A.W.
    As far as I know, the older Japanese reissue (EastWest AMCY-1007) is not 20-bit or 24-bit remastered. I have the later mini-LP sleeve reissue (EastWest AMCY-1159), and that one's 20-bit K2 remastered. The sound is much better than the domestic Rhino reissue.

    To my ears and on my system some tracks of the Columbia set sound better, but overall the JSP set gets my vote; the Columbia is a bit too harsh to my taste.

    Description of Blue Train on the Blue Note site. CDUniverse is selling it for $12.59 plus shipping.

    Didn't have the vinyl, so I'm not missing anything. This 4CD-set is pretty amazing.
  21. J.A.W.
    WOW!

    June 2: Matthew Shipp - Strata - hatOLOGY; great stuff!
  23. J.A.W.
    P.S. I'm still not sure about Sweet Honey Bee - you know what I mean. I'll probably keep it, though
  24. J.A.W.
    Good luck and all the best, Daniel! I'm looking forward to seeing you here again in a few months' time.

    June 1: Marilyn Crispell - Nothing Ever Was, Anyway. Music of Annette Peacock - 2CD, ECM; Late's earlier post inspired me. Schubert - Piano Sonata in C Minor, D958 - Murray Perahia - 2CD, Sony; this great set also contains the Sonata in A Major, D959, and the Sonata in B-flat Major, D960. Recommended!
