    That would have been nice, but nope.

    Analogue Productions released a few dates with organ in their Hoffman-mastered audiophile Blue Note series (Lou Donaldson - Here 'Tis, Jimmy Smith - Midnight Special and Back at the Chicken Shack, Grant Green - Grantstand, Fred Jackson - Hootin' 'n' Tootin', Ike Quebec - It Might As Well Be Spring, John Patton - Along Came John), while the audiophile Audio Wave label has planned Grant Green's organ date Talkin' About! in their Alan Yoshida-mastered XRCD series. Both labels also released a few more "challenging" Blue Notes from the 1960s.

    What on earth is "authintaitonship"?
  5. J.A.W.
    LPs or CDs?

    Jordan has always been a favourite of mine. Saw him in concert twice, with Cedar Walton, Sam Jones and Billy Higgins. Only Walton is still with us.

    When golf became popular with managers, the nouveaux riches (new rich) and yuppies I lost interest, though I must admit that I still enjoy watching the Masters and the (British) Open.

    I was referring to this board, not the Hoffman board. It may sound strange, but I never got involved in an audio fight over there like I did here, at least not that I can remember.

    Thanks for the explanation. It's a whole different world from mine, both musically and sonically I hasten to add that I haven't heard those particular RVGs, though, so I can't comment on their sound. You have a way better system than I do, you probably hear way more true representations of different masterings on your system. I have a very mid end system. Though I use the Audio Technica headphones they use in studios for recording and monitoring. Jim mixed "In Memorandom" on a similar set of cans to mine, the next model up. Those headphones reveal many details and they are flat frequency across the board.I don't know, I really can't answer that. I got involved in too many "audio fights" (and RVG discussions) on this board, the last one only recently, so I'd rather not go into specifics. It's all very personal and, like religion and politics, it's a hazardous topic

    That's also my preferred way of listening, in all cases I can think of. When I got the 1989 Mobley McMasters I listed above I was a happy camper. Never liked the original LP sequencing.

    Meaning? I don't have those discs.

    The 3 McMaster CDs from 1989 that I listed above were the ones with the sessions in recorded order. I don't know about the RVGs.

    Grant Green

    J.A.W. replied to Milestones's topic in Artists

    Grant Green has been discussed lots of times here. Maybe a search will help you find those threads

    No, Sonny is an international treasure. Indeed good to hear he's doing better.

    I know Abbado's interpretation of the Webern works is highly regarded but don't have the CD. I have the Boulez Conducts Webern (DG) and Karajan (DG) versions.

    Look again, it's at the very bottom on every page including the main page, at the left-hand: "Mark community read", between "Change theme" and "Help". Just scroll down until you can't go any further. If you still don't see it, I can't help you...

    At the bottom left-hand side of each page there's a button "Mark community read", etc.

    I wonder what this means for the Fantasy catalogue, including Riverside and Prestige...

    He would still have to pay those high USPS overseas rates.
