Even tho the non-percussive instruments sound lousy, it actually has a very calming feel to it. I'd love to hear a generative system that reproduces these instrumental sounds in the more realistic way that you can get these days from these kind of systems.

Actually, no. Don't need it!

This 7" packaging 2 SACD set and that of 'Round About Midnight arrived today with the Kenny Dorham 2 cd set. Man, this album is just a milestone in my listening world, a fantastic achievement by a sensational sextet. This new SACD sounds better than the Blu-Spec CD2 versions of two years ago, and is up there with the Mobile Fidelity versions, sounding just slightly different, neither I think is really “better.” Miles Davis “Milestones” Sony 2 SACD set.

Excellent

Presume you have the Silver City CD ...

Stan Getz - My Old Flame (Concord, 2 CDs) Disc 1 - originally released as The Dolphin -- with Lou Levy, Monty Budwig, and Victor Lewis Recorded live at Keystone Korner, San Francisco, May 1981

Yeah. I loved the box set on Confront, so am likely to get this. Only one piece is up on bandcamp at this time. Judging from that sample, sonics might not be audiophile quality (bass seems kind of high in the mix), but I'm almost always OK with tape sourced recordings.

👍

that looks great.

Beethoven - Op.59/2 and Op.135 - Busch Quartet

Kenny Dorham “The Complete 'Round About Midnight At The Cafe Bohemia” 2 SACD set from Blue Note Japan SACD 1 Great sound, as expected.

Totally agree. He was/is the best conductor of Ives' music that I've ever heard.

R.I.P. His Ives recordings are first class! I also recommend this one, my introduction to two of the composers featured:
