What a relief–I’m back to playing digital discs as a replacement transport I bought arrived a half an hour ago. I really missed my silver discs. Joe Henderson “Double Rainbow–the Music of Antonio Carlos Jobim” Verve cd

3m Ella Fitzgerald “The Duke Ellington Songbook” Verve 2 LP set, Record 1 There may be better pressings I’m sure, and I do have another earlier, but great music.

I have a Japanese cd of the Paris. I like it--one of my favorites--tied with the Time Records release.

Jackie McLean “It’s Time!” Blue Note The first LP from this box set: “The Complete Blue Note 1964-66 Jackie McLean Sessions” Mosaic Records 6 LP set 600×600 58.3 KB

I agree that the mastering is a bit brighter than the Mobley, Henderson and Hubbard, but just a bit and it gives a sense of more detail. I have a new amplifier too which may be helping me to really enjoy this set. Such wonderful music! I've bought these sessions several times beforehand. . . I had no hesitation to buy them again to have the "Mosaic treatment."

Indeed. I've come to the conclusion at this point in my jazz journey that all Teagarden is at least good.

Grateful Dead “Wake of the Flood” Grateful Dead Records LP Haven’t spun this in quite some time, the second Dead LP I ever bought, and looking forward to the 50th Anniversary edition coming out on cd soon as it will include as the second disc what the vaults hold of the very first Dead show I saw, the second concert I ever attended as well. It was SOMETHING ELSE.

ack Teagarden “Think Well of Me” Verve stereo LP The predominantly melancholy mood really comes through. Another great Verve recording. With all but one composed by Willard Robison and Don Goldie on board there is a lot to like.

Gary McFarland "Soft Samba Strings" Verve LP

Miles Davis “Friday Night, In Person at the Blackhawk, San Francisco” Columbia stereo LP

"Introducing Kenny Cox and the Contemporary Jazz Quintet" Blue Note reissue LP Listening to this one again. Last time I did I had the Mono button on!

“Jack Teagarden at the Roundtable” Roulette mono LP I love this music. I have it in stereo on the Mosaic set, but man this mono LP sounds great. Roulette had great sound.

Duke Ellington “Indigos” Columbia STEREO LP

“Introducing Kenny Cox and the Contemporary Jazz Quintet” Blue Note reissue LP

My OG copy, bought in '74 when I was at the University of Chicago my first year.

The Plano Primos: GET OUT

My cd/SACD transport is down . . . so I'm listening to LPS Was playing: sides G and H: Now playing: (mono LP)

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers “Buhaina's Delight” Blue Note reissue LP (Part of the Sounds of Vinyl “Free” sale.

Keith Jarrett “Creation” ECM cd Solo piano from 2014. Perfect way to start a day too early.

Jean-Michel Proust “To Barney Wilen, Vol. 1” Anyone who likes Barney Wilen would love the two volumes that Proust released. And. . .fantastic engineering and mastering.

I haven’t listened to this one in a long time. Glad I’m correcting that. Bill Evans “The Paris Concert Edition One” Blue Note cd

Spinning this one again. Boom–the bass on this new amp! Marquis Hill “New Gospel Revisited” Edition Records cd Quite a band! Bass – Harish Raghavan Drums – Kendrick Scott Piano – James Francies Tenor Saxophone – Walter Smith III Trumpet, Composed By – Marquis Hill Vibraphone – Joel Ross

Chet Baker “Sings and Plays music from the film Let’s Get Lost” Sony k2HD cd This is one of the best sounding discs I own and the music is wonderful. Again, perfect for this beautiful cool summer morning.

Amazing. That's the kind of guy I imagine he was, nice to have the testimony to match. I'll say that when I decided to really investigate Tony was when I saw his painting of Ella at the Smithsonian about 20 years ago. It stopped me in my tracks.

Starting off the morning with Bill Evans “Turn Out the Stars” disc 4. Seems perfect for the quiet stillness of the neighborhood and my mind.
