Kenny Burrell "Pieces of Blue & the Blues" Blue Note cd Kenny Burrell, Rodney Jones and Bobby Broom at the Vanguard. What a night that would have been to have been there.

Bill Evans Trio “Live at Shelly’s Manne-hole, Hollywood, California” Riverside/OJC K2 cd My woofers like the bass on this cd.

I cleaned this and it still is noisier than I like, but a great listen to a great LP. The mono is great as well, and mine is a quieter copy. Jack Teagarden “Think Well of Me” Verve stereo LP

Weather Report "8:30" Sony SRCS 9147~8 lp facsimile 2 cd set, disc 2

Sasha Dobson With The Chris Byars Octet “The Darkling Thrush” Smalls Records There’s something a little offbeat about this release. I like off beat. She reminds me of Anita O’Day a bit. The arrangements are sort of . . . out of time. Elements of early 'sixties/late 'fifties, elements of now. I’ve liked Byers on other leader and sideman dates, and the recording is interesting. This has sat on the shelf a long time. 1024×683 131 KB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apartment_(album)

'S alright.

Is it Monday yet? That is when my copy is due to arrive. I've waited years to hear this.

I was interrupted shortly into this one, so I’m repeating it. Dexter Gordon “Complete Trio and Quartet Studio Recordings 1974 1975 1976"” Steeplechase, disc 1 OMG I forgot how awesome the two takes of "Old Folks," duets by Gordon with NHOP, are on this disc. Just Dexter at his best and NHOP gives him everything he needs.

Dexter Gordon “Complete Trio and Quartet Studio Recordings 1974 1975 1976"” Steeplechase, disc 1 Saw someone else listing this as being played and darned if I didn’t want to join in.

I forgot how cool the arrangement and performance of "Monk's Dream" is and the great one-two punch of that and "Frere Monk."

Duke Ellington "The Private Collection, Vol. 3--Studio Sessions, New York 1962" Lots of great Gonsalves

2023 SHM-SACD in the Acoustic Sounds series of John Coltrane “Ballads” Impulse Japan

I guess. . .there's still hope! Chick Corea + Origin “A Week at the Blue Note” disc 2 I really love this box set. Great music in sound that makes you feel you are there if you use your imagination.

More John Handy. . . “Mosaic Select” disc 1 The famous concert album.

The New John Handy Quintet “New View” Columbia / Koch cd Talk online of Handy made me seek this one out from the shelves. What a band! Albert Stinson was taken from us too soon. Alto Saxophone – John Handy Bass – Albert Stinson Drums – Doug Sides Guitar – Pat Martino Vibraphone – Bobby Hutcherson

About thirty seconds of internet search will reveal an answer.

For Mahalia, With Love” James Brandon Lewis/Red Lily Quintet I got this a month ago and started listening to it. I definitely was not feeling it. It seemed like someone fabricating a work like someone else’s. Re-visiting it tonight I am past that and enjoying it! ShareBookmarkFlagReply Tracking Me no likey as well.

The Barry Harris Trio “Breakin’ It Up” Argo/Universal Japan cd UCCU-8229 The opening track is just so . . .well I love it. (“All the Things You Are.”)

More Chico songs. I really like the Songbook series and his is very enjoyable. “Chico Buarque–Songbook Vol. 7” Lumiar cd.

David Sanchez “Travesia” Columbia cd Alto Saxophone – Miguel Zenon Bass – Hans Glawischnig Drums – Antonio Sanchez Percussion, Congas – Pernell Saturnino Piano – Edsel Gomez Producer, Tenor Saxophone – David Sánchez I really like the way Sanchez incorporates Latin elements into his work. FOLLOWED BY Another David Sanchez from around the same time. What a band! David Sanchez “The Departure” Columbia cd Bass – Andy Gonzalez, Peter Washington Drums – Leon Parker Percussion – Milton Cardona Piano – Danilo Perez Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone – David Sanchez Trumpet – Tom Harrell

Not true in my case Kevin. I have always heard audible differences in rectifier in my amps regardless of levels. These are NOT guitar amps. I have those too, been using them for guitar and bass for decades. Different animals, though rectifier tube differences can be heard in these as well when not driven into distortion levels, though more subtle. I'm not alone in hearing these differences in types and brands in these amps. In the Decware community it is a common experience, and with other tube amplifier owners as well. Rectifier characteristics are especially easy to hear in amps with tube voltage regulation I find. Mine for the last fifteen years have had tube voltage regulation for input tubes or both input and output tubes.

Scratching an itch for Duke with some small group recordings of Ellingtonians with Britons on board as well. Johnny Hodges - Ray Nance - Keith Christie “Homage To The Duke” Esquire/Solid Records Japan Johnny Hodges - Ray Nance - Keith Christie Johnny Hodges Lawrence Brown Jimmy Jones Billy Strayhorn Harry Carney Ray Nance Dick Katz Keith Christie John Dankworth Bill Sutcliffe Allan Ganley

“The Complete Freddie Hubbard Blue Note & Impulse Studio Sessions” Mosaic Records Disc III: READY FOR FREDDIE Freddie Hubbard, trumpet; Kiane Zawadi (Bernard McKinney), euphonium; Wayne Shorter, tenor sax; McCoy Tyner, piano; Art Davis, bass; Elvin Jones, drums. 768×768 48.2 KB

I have only listened for a few hours. But there is a bit more bass right now, which is nice. Things are a bit more complicated than I just need more bass. It's all about a balance throughout the system and specifically how the rectifier and the output tubes "work" together. This is a newly "improved" version of my favorite rectifier so far, and there is improvement. And it's the same manufacturer as the output tubes, and the rectifier it is replacing was designed to work well with those.

Miles Davis “Bitches Brew” Stereo/Quad SACD from Japan, disc 2. I’ve been listening to a new rectifier and . . . damn. . . BASS.
