Posted 24 Nov 2020 I've been playing about with my PS Audio P15 and its settings and power deliver TO it and have been using disc 2 of this lately oft-played set as the sound is so clear and dynamic and immediately familiar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 24 Nov 2020 Sometimes late 50s jazz really hits the spot and these two albums are doing just that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 24 Nov 2020 Bobby Hutcherson - Farewell Keystone (Theresa/Evidence) with Harold Land (ts); Oscar Brashear (flgn, tr); Cedar Walton (p); Buster Williams (b); Billy Higgins (d) Hard to imagine a more sympathetic ensemble. Wish I could have been at the Keystone Korner to hear this one being made! 48 minutes ago, Dub Modal said: Sometimes late 50s jazz really hits the spot and these two albums are doing just that. No doubt. Both of those are wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's pretty uncommon. I already owned the three albums as a download and this album as a physical release. However, a few months ago, I found a signed copy of the reissue box on eBay for a silly price (about 9 bucks). I bought the box from Sonny at one of his last shows in Boston. He signed most of them that were bought that night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 24 Nov 2020 After the late 50s sessions moved on to some 60s Blue Note jazz with this well known warhorse. Less than 10 years had passed since those Land & Dameron albums had been recorded but the music here is so different. Looking at the age of the players involved across these albums tells a piece of that story. Almost everyone on Fontainebleu was over 30, and some near 40 at the time of recording while on Land's album most are in their 30s or on the cusp of them. Meanwhile for the Hancock record Tony Williams was 19 and the youngest at the session, but no one was over 30 y/o. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
