https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/release/music/jazz-fusion/month/2025/10?periods=1 Some very desirable MPS albums being reissued on Ultra Vybe CD's in October. The three I'm thrilled by are Billy Harper - Trying to Make Heaven My Home, Hannibal Marvin Peterson - Hannibal, and Hannibal Marvin Peterson - Hannibal in Berlin. I'm going the Dusty Groove pre-order route on those three rather than risking CDJapan reciprocal tariff chaos, despite their much lower unit prices ($13.50 rather than DG's $18.99)/

Dollar Brand/Abdullah Ibrahim - Blues for a Hip King: The African Recordings (Kaz Records, rel. 1988)

👍

I'm With Her: Wild & Clear & Blue

Verve MV 2057 (Japan 1973) Gerry Mulligan And The Concert Jazz Band At The Village Vanguard - rec Dec. 1960 The Inlay in japanese language lists a recording of the concert jazz band from Dec. 1962 titled "Concert Jazz Band Vol. 2". Has anybody ever seen this Item?

“Kenny Burrell on View at the Five Spot Cafe–the Complete Masters” Blue Note Japan SHM-SACD Excellent mastering of this classic material.

More Baden Powell: Yes, I like that LP too!

Great Duet & superbe music above plus the other one on ECM - both here!

John Lennon - Imagine - Deluxe Edition. I'm playing blu-ray disc 1 for the original quadraphonic mix. The 5.1 sounds a bit odd with Lennon's vocal tightly stuck to the center channel speaker. The quad is a bit more realistic.

When I bought my B&W 805 Nautilus speakers, my wife was not happy. She hates the "tweeter on top" design. She says that the grill covers must stay on at all times.

This would be a great cd to have in audiophile format! Helen Merrill featuring Stan Getz “Just Friends” Emarcy cd Bass – Jean-François Jenny-Clark Drums – Daniel Humair Liner Notes – Philippe Carles Piano – Joachim Kühn or Torrie Zito Tenor Saxophone – Stan Getz Vocals – Helen Merrill

Those speakers look great in walnut. I'm also partial to the blue, which I understand may not be to everyone's taste! Hoping to see some pics when you get everything set up.

Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun: The Filmore East First Show 12/31/1969 (SACD). I haven't listened to this in a long time. It's not my wife's favorite and since we both retired, I'm not home alone much where I cam crank this. Truth be told, as I'm spinning it, I think I should have put on some studio Jimi.

That's an interesting record.

NP: CD reissue of Opa's two albums for Milestone: - Goldenwings (tracks 1-7) recorded February - April 1976 - Magic Time (tracks 8-12) recorded February 1977

Santana - Welcome (Columbia) They never got jazzier than on their "White Album" which has remained my dearest Santana recording over the decades.

Another excellent Joe Henderson LP!

Now spinning: Originally released as Os Afro Sambas de Baden e Vinícius (Forma BR, 1966) Yeeeessss!

Yeah such a great record!

Cello Sonatas No.4 and No.5
