Kenny Burrell "Ashpalt Canyon Suite" Verve/Universal Japan SHM-CD This new reissue from Japan sounds amazing on the system today. These ambitious recordings of Burrell for Verve took me a while to fully appreciate but I love them now. Such a great guitar sound and playing, and interesting arrangements.

Kenny Burrell "Ode to 52nd Street" Cadet/Universal Japan cd

"Beforeigners" and "Made for Love" -- both wildly entertaining.

The upcoming Bootleg Series had me reach for this. "Jokerman" is just such a great track. Of its time but has it's own specific charm with the guitar sounds and their blend. Bob Dylan "Infidels" Sony Blu-Spec CD2 edition.

Kenny Burrell "Blue Lights Vol. 1" Blue Note Universal Japan 2021 SHM-CD

Keith Jarrett Trio "Standards Vol. 2" ECM SHM-SACD Sounds best on my system with the "phase" reversed.

Kenny Burrell "Blues the Common Ground" Verve Japan SHM-CD

It's obviously a mistitled disc.

Alice Coltrane "Journey in Satchidananda" 60th Anniversary Impulse SHM-CD Japan

Just 1.

Chick Corea "Return to Forever" ECM SHM-SACD Another one that I think sounds slightly better with "phase" reversed.

Right before I had to go out to dinner with Lucy and in-laws yesterday a fat package from Japan came with reissue cds I had been waiting months to be released and arrive. Didn't get to experience any of them yesterday but have so far listened to four. First off was Kenny Burrell "Asphalt Canyon," which I only had on a pretty noisey LP in the past. A very nice remaster! This was followed by Alice Coltrane, "Lord of Lords" from the Impulse 60 series of her releases released this week. A slight upgrade from earlier cd releases. . . great music. Then on to an SHM-SACD of Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette "Standards, Vol. 1." I played this to death when it first came out, mostly on cassettte, and practiced drums to it over and over, especially the interesting groove of "God Bless the Child," which inspired a great drum pattern for a song the band I was then in, "Caution: Flammable" had put together and was probably our most popular, "King of L.A." This SHM-SACD sounded a bit bright and unfocused, but when I reversed the "Phase" on my DAC it came into both a nicer tonal balance and a better imaging and soundstage situation. Nice! Then on to John Coltrane, "Ballads," also a new SHM-SACD. Not sure it's my favorite digital version of this amazing title, at least not yet, but it sure does sound good today. My system has been just sounding so damned good this month. All the money I've thrown at it over this last decade has been worth it.

I'm a fan too. Hope she has a great one. This week Japan just reissued on cd a '96 Japan live appearence recording.

Indeed. . . '65 to '73 are the best years for me.

Yes, I pre-ordered the box set. https://store.dead.net/special-edition-shops/st-louis-collection/listen-to-the-river-st-louis-71-72-73-20-cd-1.html
