I don't know why exactly, but this morning the phrase Where were you when the Tiberi tapes were released? popped into my head. 😁 My next thought was: Acquisition Moratorium until September! (Unless Miles Davis's centennial in May brings about an unheard early 70's concert.🤪)

Been tweaking my LP playback a bit last night and this morning–different isolation feet on the phono preamp and adjusted the counterweight on the tone arm a bit. This LP sounds amazing today! John Coltrane “Crescent” LImited Edition Impulse LP reissue    

Wow, it will be 46 degrees today. A heat wave! And . . . no snow. Watched seven deer walk across our back yard into our side yard and then across the road into the forest. They are active in the heat (29 degrees right now) and seemed happy, looking for food. I love my sylvan world. Starting off a listening session with the second disc from the last music I listened to yesterday . . . SFJazz Collective “Original Compositions and Works of Thelonious Monk” disc 2  

Actually I meant "up to and including the Mellophonium band". I haven't nearly listened to all the Kenton recordings from that period, but the "Uncollected Vol. 6" on Hindsight, for example, is quite palatable to my ears. 

Do agree with you for the 'Mellophonium band'.  From this time on Stan lost me as a collector. Dont like that "muddy" sound.
