Anthony (Tony) Williams "Life Time" Blue Note Japan cd

It was time for some T. Jack Teagarden "Big 'T's Dixieland Band" Capitol mono LP

This one again.

I got my shipping notice today, just when I was beginning to feel left out.

Yusef Lateef, "Angel Eyes" Savoy 2 LP set. LP 1. Great music, one marathon session that yielded two LPs. Disc 1 is "The Dreamer" Featuring the not-recorded-enough Terry Pollard on piano. Yusef sounds gorgeous on oud, flute and tenor sax here. (Not surprising).

Jackie Terasson/Cassandra Wilson "Rendezvous" Blue Note Japan cd. Love this collaboration.

Bobby Hutcherson "Montara" Blue Note Japan UCCQ-3023 cd

Kellee Patterson "Maiden Voyage" Black Jazz Records Japan cd This one grows on me. I have the new cd reissue from Real Gone Music as well, which may sound a bit better.

I'm really enjoying revisiting the David Sanchez Columbia releases. This is another one with great work by Miguel Zenon included, and I love the way that Sanchez includes Latin feel to the pieces without overwhelming a jazz swing. This one is also well-recorded. David Sanchez "Melaza"

Yes. I think I have most if not all those he remastered. To me, on my system, they sound great.

No you're right, it's part of the Superbit Jazz Classics, another series I collect--remastered by McMaster. (The regular US cd is remixed and remastered by Addey). My bad counting it in among the 24Bit by RVG titles.

Bob Dylan "Shadows in the Night" Columbia LP Love the sound of this album and the mood.

Bobby Hutcherson "Stick Up!" Blue Note Japan SHM-CD Joe Henderson not surprisingly plays very spiritedly on this session.

Hadley Caliman "Projecting + Celebration: The Catalyst Years" Fresh Sound cd

The Prisoner, Juju, Happy Frame of Mind, Roll Call, 3 Blind Mice, Hank Mobley Sextet, The Rumproller

Got in from the UK one of the new "Reference" belts from Rega and have to say that it may be an improvement over the "White" belt that was Rega's top of the line before, and it's half the price too. Installed it on my hot rod RP3 and played "Great Expectations" from this: Miles Davis "Big Fun" Sounded subtly tighter and more detailed. Also played this, “Billy Strayhorn Live!” Roulette mono LP. Sounded great.

Clifton Anderson "Been Down this Road Before"

"Blue Note--The SP Days: 1939 to 1952" disc 4 "Jazz Guitar Classics on Blue Note" Sessions led by Josh White, Teddy Bunn, Edmond Hall (with Charlie Christian), Jimmy Shirley as leader and Jimmy Shirley with Ike Quebec, Pidgmeat Markham and John Hardee.

Awesome!

Rudolph Johnson "Spring Rain" Black Jazz/Real Gone Music cd

I needed more Flora with Duke. Duke Pearson "How Insensitive" Blue Note Japan cd And some Andy Bey too. And a great flugelhorn solo by Duke. Great stuff imo.

Duke Pearson "It Could Only Happen with You" Blue Note Japan cd. Some of my very favorite Pearson. This and "How Insensitive" are unique recordings.

I won on eBay 7 "24Bit by RVG" Japanese Blue Note releases, all complete with OBI, for 97 dollars including postage. A few are in the "hard to find without losing a limb" category. I feel I did good. I enjoy collecting this series.

"Toshiko Akiyoshi Lew Tabackin Big Band" Mosaic Select disc 1

David Sanchez "Travesia" Columbia CD Truly nice sound on this one. Great playing by Miguel Zenon here as well. Hard to believe this is now 20 years old.
