86 cds sound like a decent box set to me. 172 LP version for me than. With 100 versions of Giant Steps? 😅

Stunning indeed. Dancing Girl and You’re gonna Miss Me…. I could hear those again and again

Any Coltrane is good for me but I am still hoping most for later period Trane.

I’ve added this to my wantlist. I now realize I’ve seen Jaribu Shahid perform with David Murray at the Bimhuis quite a while ago.

Thanks guys great to see there are more Rega fans out here. I know @Rabshakeh also is. very happy with it. The cool thing about this RS edition is that it comes standard with quite some upgrades: - the same High Pressure Laminate as the P6, P8 and P10 models as plinth - Rega ND5 cartridge - Rega Neo PSU power supply - Reference Belt Thought slightly more expensive than the regular P3 the package price is pretty competitive for all what you get. I definitely expected improvement over my P2 but not in this way. Especially very happy the ‘solar panel noise’ is finally gone. I had a big smile on my face all trough the first side of the LP. Then I called my wife to come and listen. She smiled, looked at me in a pity full kinda way and said: I really don’t hear what you’re talking bout but hey as long as your happy with it….

Yeah I’m really curious how they sounded together. Thats Ayler with Tranes rhythm section right? With Ali on drums? That could definitely work. Who buys that stuff? Trane newcomers that are misleaded they actuallly get the best of?

https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/rega-planar-3-rs-edition I decided to treat myself this year with a new deck: a Planar 3 RS. The upgrade is beyond expected. It sounds amazing but most of all: it’s way more silent than my P2. Since we have solar panels it reproduced an enormous annoying squeak that sometimes was hearable in silent passages and its gone now! This special edition comes with quite a package of upgrades and it’s very hearable. What a great deck!

I’m probably repeating myself but I don’t like Jarrett. But this record is desert island for me.

We never see these amounts of snow in the Netherlands. We also got the tempering influence of the warmer North Sea. Though I’m not looking for extremes like these, I really miss some more winter like weather here sometimes. The winter mostly feels like an extended autumn most of the times with boring grey rainy days.

Here's me hoping Ravi has a suprise for us....

Oh yes Kevin we all feel very sorry for you being on a cruise with tropical temperatures, mixed drinks and live jazz music. Poor you! 🤪 But seriously, I hope you have dug your way into your house 😬

Have you packed all your cds/vinyl carefully/secure/safely? That's all that matters Good luck moving there.

I love my boxed sets but must say I never listen to a complete boxed set: mostly individual discs. Boxed sets must be pieces of art to me that really distinct in artwork or liners. If it's just music only in chronological order I prefer the seperate sessions. I also like if if they compile music that's pretty hard to obtain. The Byard Lancaster set by Souffle Continu is an example of an essential boxed set I must say. I havent ripped a cd since streaming is avaible. The places where I stream I don't play much jazz: in the gym and in the car. Jazz doesn't work in the gym for me and my car has awful sound for jazz music. I play jazz at home and i'd prefer to pick out a cd or an lp instead of playing digital files from my computer.

RIP!

https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?sort=price%2Casc&master_id=280490&format=CD plenty of options if wanted on cd though. It’s widely avaible on that format. On vinyl it was pretty rare/expensive.

Yes Masabumi Kikuchi on piano, Hiroshi Marakumi on drums and Masahiko Togashi on drums. It’s an earlier seventies recording when Peacock lived in Japan. Highly recommended

Max Roach Quartet Live in Amsterdam with Billy Harper Cecil Bridgewater and Reggie Workman. This music should be played loud!
