I never heard of nor experienced a bad disc in the set.

Dexter Gordon “Complete Trio/Quartet Studio Recordings” Steeplechase box set, disc 4 500×500 24.6 KB Includes some beautiful sounding soprano sax playing by the Long Tall one.

Another warm, lovely morning. Starting off with Sun Ra and his Arkestra “Supersonic Jazz” (Expanded Edition) disc 2. Some of my favorite Ra, unreleased material.

I first got my hands on this music in 1982: this 2 LP US set: https://www.discogs.com/master/62386-Miles-Davis-Live-At-The-Plugged-Nickel I still have my copy and it still sounds great.

Yes, one of the original LP releases' cover.

Grateful Dead “Wake of the Flood Angel Share” first half. Followed by Oscar Peterson “Exclusively for my Friends” disc 1 of 4 Verve 4 cd set.

Oh, what a beautiful morning. Memphis the American Bully was mystified by a group of turkeys just over the road at the edge of the forest. He had never heard such things before! I’m starting off with Charlie Haden and the Liberation Music Orchestra live at the Montreal Jazz Festival. A great listen in every way!

I have the repress of the Japanese set on gold disc. IMO it sounds better than the US cd set, and the Tower Records SACD set sounds a bit better than the Japanese. The edits really don't bother me.

My guess is the cds will be the same Redbook mastering as the Redbook layer of the Tower Records SACD set. That would be sourced from the Mosaic LP masters. If the tapes were found between now and the SACD release they would be announcing that as a perceived selling incentive. That is likely a bit of an improvement over the original Redbook set (I haven't compared them myself). I'd be tempted by the vinyl set. . . we'll see if I give in. My original 2 LP US release sounds really good; I've always wondered what the Mosaic set might sound like.

It is so quiet and still here this morning, no distraction from great sound. Started with Grateful Dead “From the Mars Hotel Angel Share” second half 640×640 810 KB Followed by Jason Palmer “Rhyme and Reason” disc 2 Mark Turner–a great partner for Jason. 300×273 23.5 KB

It's been out of print a long time.

John Coltrane "Both Directions At Once: The Lost Album – Deluxe Edition Impulse Japan 2 UHQCD disc 1 300×266 7.48 KB A great session re-discovered from tapes RVG gave to John to take home.

A warmer morning. Hard to type with a large dog on your lap! Starting off with the second disc of this well-recorded live release. Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis “Live in Cuba”

Gabor Szaba “Jazz Raga” Impulse/Light in the Attic cd Bass – Johnny Gregg Drums – “Pretty” Purdie Guitar [Fender] – Bob Bushnell Guitar, Sitar – Gabor Szabo

John Coltrane “Blue World” Impulse Japan SHM-CD This album hasn’t really been played since it was first released. I’m enjoying correcting that. A very nice session.

When you place an order the fees are clearly shown in the final pre-payment page. Seems about 25 percent of the item cost on the order I placed. You can choose to order or cancel on that page.

A cool morning. Memphis the American Bully heard an owl outside for the first time. Was fun to see his reactions! Listening to both discs of this new release from Japan, Miles Davis “Paris Jazz Festval - Salle Pleyel - 10/1/1964” 2 disc hybrid SACD set from Sony. I think this was a smart move because it is likely the material from the latest Bootleg Series release that collectors are least likely to have. And there are those who will buy it for the SACD sound, such as I!

Just got this in from Japan, “Paris Jazz Festval - Salle Pleyel - 10/1/1964” 2 disc hybrid SACD set from Sony, released today. Comes in the 7” packaging that Quadrophonic versions of Miles, Santana, Jeff Beck etc. have come in, though with less inserts than those historic reissues had.

A nice cool morning. Starting off with another listen to Mary Halvorson “About Ghosts” Nonesuch cd. Not bowled over by her work, but an interesting listen, with great players.

My most recent order (a 2 SACD Miles Davis set) from cdjapan will arrive tomorrow, shipped on Saturday, via FEEDEX. I paid "fees" for it, so shouldn't need to pay again.

“Miles Davis '55 The Prestige Recordings” Concord 2 cd set, disc 2

Mick Ronson exploded into my world when “The Man who Sold the World” came out–he was the first ROCK guitarist that excited me after Hendrix. This is a reissue/remix cd featuring Bowie’s intended title and cover.

A cool morning, a bit warmer than yesterday. Memphis the new dog has just eaten and is chilling on the bed. I finished the last few tracks of the excellent promo sampler of Keith Jarrett’s Blue Note box set on ECM. A great selection of killer performances! I didn’t have time to listen to the entire disc yesterday evening. Now I am playing disc V1 of “Woody Shaw The Complete Muse Sessions” from Mosaic Records. Some great Cedar Walton!
