Bill Evans “Morning Glory” Resonance Records 2 cd set, disc 1 The 1973 Buenos Aires concert. Great sound and playing.

Finally getting to listen! It’s going to be a very nice day, better than the rainy one yesterday. Mowing the lawn is in my afternoon future, but right now I’m starting off with the disc I ended yesterday’s listening on: Jonathan Blake “The Eleventh Hour” on Sunnyside cd. Tom Harrell is on a few here, Mark Turner is on all tracks but one, great stuff. On to Ed Motta “Criterion of the Senses” Membran cd I haven’t spun this one in a while. I miss hearing new Ed Motta, come on Ed, it’s time for a new one! “It’s kindof Kafkaesque I’d say”. . .a timely line. 612×408 25.7 KB

This cd version will likely be the same transfers and mastering as the 60th Anniversary Japanese reissues ('54 was, same engineering credited here).

Thanks for the head's up.

Yes it is. I have the previous set of 1954 material. The remastered sound is excellent.

RIP Sly Stone. Sad news but he wasn’t 100 percent for some time. Playing in his honor.

A cool and rainy day. Got drenched going to the post office but am warm and dry now and settling in for a few discs. Grateful Dead “Enjoying the Ride” sixtieth anniversay box set, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO (8/12/79) disc 1 This one is starting off nice and mellow.

Yes. Excellent original engineering, excellent transfers and mastering.

Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette “Yesterdays” ECM cd More than cool, downright on the edge of cold this morning. Nice for listening but I am getting a late start. One of my favorite Jarrett Trio discs. No, scratch that. . .they’re all so good I really don’t have favorites.

Dune--Prophecy. Whoa.

I have no real answer to this other than to say the US and Japanese markets of Universal/Blue Note are independent and the Japanese have always been very insular about their market and cater to it alone. And from what I gather from reading and a bit of correspondence Redbook cd is at this time a bigger part of the listening world in Japan than it is here in the US, more relevant and marketable. You and I listen to cds, and many here, but really this is an island of its own and most US persons no longer gravitate to cds the way we do. Is what it is. I think we'll see a few interesting re-packages and combinations of Blue Note material, but there will never again be a stream of releases in cd format as we saw forty, thirty, twenty, even ten years ago. I hope I'm wrong, I fear I am right.

Just a note that the 85th Anniversary Reissue Series ended last year. There may be a stray individual release (like the Burrell at the Five Spot) or maybe even a new series (seems unlikely this year, maybe in a few more years) but this one has no new reissued coming out within it.

Nice cool morning and I am spinning the first disc, “Stan Getz in Sweden 1958-1960” Dragon 2 cd set, disc 1. The system is sounding so amazing these days, I have it really dialed in and am not messing with it, and this material is well-recorded and mastered. 300×300 6.58 KB
