My system has never sounded better, and I just keep wanting to spin disc after disc! Right now Miles Davis “Directions” Blu-Spec CD2 Sony Japan 2023, disc 1

Yes, it's as compelling audibly as that famous pair of Johnny Griffin's pants was visually.

Yes it may be, so far to me it appears to be a reissue of the Wilder mastering on this release (contains the two bonus tracks as well) linked below, as well as the Quintet box set, doesn't sound like a DSD mastering to me, but I need to do more research and comparisons. https://www.discogs.com/release/7335121-Miles-Davis-Sorcerer A number of the Miles releases from this "We Love Jazz" batch seem to be reissues of Wilder US cds. This big batch contains Miles titles that have never been Blu-Spec CD2 before and many that were never Blu-Spec CD either, and those that were given the Blu-Spec treatment before that I have been able to compare are actually different masterings used than before. Which leads me to believe this may not be the same mastering as the 2013 Blu-Spec CD2 which I don't think I have handy to compare.

Followed by a disc just out of a DHL package from Japan. . . . “Duke Ellington and John Coltrane” Verve Acoustic Sounds SHM-SACD

Miles Davis “In A Silent Way” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 2023. Seems to be a Blu-Spec CD2 reissue of the mastering in Sony SRCS 9713 from 2000, a DSD remaster I have never heard before. Sounds very nice!

Bill Evans “Turn out the Stars–The Final Village Vanguard Recordings, June 1980” Warner Bros. 6 disc box set, disc 4. Gorgeous sound!

Antonio Carlos Jobim “Stone Flower” CTI Supreme Blu-Spec CD Japan 599×529 117 KB This time the flat-transfer Blu-Spec CD version. Everything is sounding so good as a very light snow falls this morning.

Art Pepper “The Complete Maiden Voyage Recordings” disc 3 Lots of clarinet–a good thing.

New reissue released last week.

dicky, I was debating whether to weigh in but I was going to point out that I too have marveled at Benson's guitar playing on Columbia, Prestige, CTI. . . . Regardless of what one might think of his singing (certainly doesn't offend me the way it seems to offend others) he earned his reputation as a player with some work that amazes me.

Made a somewhat surprising change in the system because a component was acting up, and man the sound is great! Playing an old favorite just re-issued: Miles Davis “Miles in Tokyo” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 600×600 35.3 KB Followed by Tom Harrell “Labyrinth” RCA Victor cd 599×604 93.8 KB

“Miles Davis & the Modern Jazz Giants” Prestige RVG Remasters Japan cd I think all of the Miles sessions in the Prestige RVG Remasters series sound wonderful. Been a while since I have heard this session. Great for this afternoon.

We both reached him!

Valentino Jazz Bazar “Essence of Wes Montgomery–Live in Thelonious Club, Buenos Aires, Argentina” disc 2

These are my favorite of his that I have heard. I really like what the bass players add. Covers really don't factor for me--and is thois hard bop? I'd say soul jazz..

Okay.
