Gosh I bought this when first released on LP. Was a staple in my listening world as a teen. Now Miles Davis “Collectors’ Items” Prestige RVG Remasters cd A session from 1953 and one from 1956, with Charlie Parker on tenor, and with Sonny Rollins on tenor.

Re-listening to this one this morning as it seems perfect to delineate a regulation tube change I made and it’s a very good album. “Body and Soul” is a real highlight here, not easy to make that old work horse shine these days. Teodross Avery “My Generation” Impulse cd

Thanks for that. This is a world that I have no experience with, living out in the woods in an area where country music and radio pop seem to be what younger persons are aware of, and only those genres, and being someone who has a flip phone that does not connect to the internet and zero interest in watching youtube or other videos or reading blogs etc.

I sent a copy of this to my pal Dave Laczko in Austin and he was raving about it as I knew he would so I’m spinning disc 1’ I can’t believe how great the sound is everytime I break out this set!
