It’s been a while since I have played “Agharta” and my system is somewhat improved since then, I’m really enjoying this spinning. Miles Davis “Agharta” Sony SRCS 9720-21 DSD mastered 2 cd set

Listening for the third time in a row, ... it's very good for the first half of the album but it loses it view/tension for the second half a little bit. I think i will keep this one.

💗

I have a handful of versions of this classic release and this one is the one I find most pleasant to listen to, a DSD mastered reissue from Japan in 2000, Sony SRCS 9703. Miles Davis +19 “Miles Ahead” SRCS 9703 cd I like all the collaborations with Gil Evans, but this one holds a special place in my listening world.

Listening again to this new release. I like it a lot! Walter Smith III “Twio, Vol. 2” Blue Note cd

Ts find ! Complete collection on CBS. Found it today.

Candy Dulfer - Sax-a-Go-Go Early Candy Dulfer is a bit of a surprise to me. I'd only heard her later records, by which time she'd aged into boring smooth jazz proper. Whereas I really did enjoy my first listen this. Sort of Acid Jazz Jazz. Influences seem to be David Sanborn, 1980s Miles Davis and Prince, etc. It is very very commercial pop jazz and there is the drum machine, but she has an unexpectedly forceful saxophone tone.

Yellow Swans – Going Places

I must admit that when i wrote my post above I had not thought of his later Pablo recordings. I do not have many of these, but what I have picked up along the way is rather amazing. Will have to look into more of this, I guess. Agreed about the man of many parts and "The Legend" - and "Kansas City Suite" too. This sort of combination of Carter and Basie is something special.

👍

Wow that must sound amazing all together. Enjoy! I really dig that portrait. Brotzmanns expressive face lends itself perfect for such a photograph.

Thanks! A Mola Mola Makua preamp (from your country) and a Brinkmann Bardo deck. The amps are part of my speakers (Neumann KH 150). It's a whisky bottle, Glenfarclas 15 yrs, matured in sherry casks. A family-owned distillery in Speyside. By the way, I bought the portrait of Peter Brotzmann from a Melbourne photographer, Tobias Titz, who had the chance to take the portrait with a large format camera when Bro was visiting Melbourne. I like it a lot.

That looks very cool! 3 questions: which amp, which deck and which beer?

Tomorrow night: Omar Sosa Quarteto Americanos *Sheldon Brown multi-reeds, flute *Ernesto Mazar Kindelán baby bass *Josh Jones drums

Yeah, I went through a Benny Carter thing a while back and I remember wishing there was a Mosaic of the early stuff. I have some euro-compilations of Benny Carter albums, one with eight and one with 4 albums. Also some Chronologicals for the early period. There is also a 1946 Benny Carter Quintet recording on disc 9 of the Keynote Collection. It's hard to find a bad album. Carter is really a man of many parts, a multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger too. I'm fond of the Basie album, The Legend - From the Pen of Benny Carter.

This Friday night, Jackie Venson at Wilndmills in the Colony.

Agreed. They did Louie, Louie around the same time the Kingsmen did, and had the stronger version (and the regional Pacific Northwest hit, IIRC), largely due to Lindsay.

Yo!

If their very earliest records are any indication, Mark Lindsaey had put in enough time to at least get a good centered tone, unlike Mike Love who played like ...Mike Love.
