Just a note that the 85th Anniversary Reissue Series ended last year. There may be a stray individual release (like the Burrell at the Five Spot) or maybe even a new series (seems unlikely this year, maybe in a few more years) but this one has no new reissued coming out within it.

Gerald Clayton “Happening–Live at the Village Vanguard” Blue Note cd. Gerald Clayton on piano, Logan Richardson on alto saxophone, Walter Smith III on tenor saxophone, Joe Sanders on bass, and Marcus Gilmore on drums.

Nice cool morning and I am spinning the first disc, “Stan Getz in Sweden 1958-1960” Dragon 2 cd set, disc 1. The system is sounding so amazing these days, I have it really dialed in and am not messing with it, and this material is well-recorded and mastered. 300×300 6.58 KB

Beethoven: Septet Op.20 / Sextet Op.71 Westminster Legacy UHQCD Japan

I have three sets of Vegh . . . and love them. That cellist is the bomb.

I agree T.D.

A recent arrival, Woody Shaw Joe Henderson “Jazz Patterns” Everest/Real Gone Music LP Reports are that the original LP sounded pretty bad. This reissue sounds pretty good. Great playing!

Adrian Rollini “1929-1934” Jazz Oracle 2 cd, disc 1 An early master of the bass saxophone that I confess I like to listen to and even enjoy the dated vibe of these predominantly early dance and vocal pieces. I haven’t played this in a long time and the system sounds so much better now. . .the excellent Davies transfers sound great! 500×500 28.8 KB

It's pretty amazing the results. I've compared the Erroll Garner releases on Columbia and Octave pre-and post-Plangent. The brain just likes the post-Plangent more. . . seems more "real." And that Getz-Gilberto. . . wow. I think more than just the Plangent Process is used, there's a bit of a remix and EQ. . . but wow.

Film soundtrack restoration for From Here to Eternity, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Cabaret, Camelot and West Side Story among others.

Personally I think it's possibly a better album without any singing. I really like it just as it is. Right now David Sánchez “Obsesión” Columbia cd Large ensemble, arrangements – Carlos Franzetti Bass – John Benitez Congas – Pernell Saturnino or Richie Flores Drums – Adam Cruz French Horn – John Clark Piano – Edsel Gomez Producer – Branford Marsalis Tenor Saxophone, Producer – David Sánchez 300×297 21.5 KB

I don't feel the session needed any vocals. I like it.

No. Right now, a singer's disc. Claudia Acuna “En Este Momento” Marsalis Music cd In this moment I am really enjoying this Acuna cd. Okay, they’re all really good, this one is just right for this moment. The system sounds fantastic!

Milt Jackson “Night Mist” Pablo/OJC cd Sweets, Cleanhead and Lockjaw!

Enjoying the Ride," the 60th Anniversary box set from the Grateful Dead. First concert I pulled out, Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, CT (3/14/81), disc 2

Charles Kynard “Legends of Acid Jazz” Prestige cd Reissues “Afro-disiac” and “Wa-Tu-Wa-Zui (Beautiful People)”

Hope you get it. I think you'll like it a lot. I guess a lot depends on how much you like 'fifties Mingus as this really seems to take "East Coasting" as a jumping off point.

Whew it was a warm one last night. Finally got cool, down to 62 degrees, perfect up here in the listening area. This is an amazing reissue that arrived two days ago. The Plangent Process restoration is amazing–and blows away the Grundman direct transfer. I wish they had not included that one and had included a Plangent Process version of the MONO mix, I love the Mono mix. I thought I knew and loved this session–now it’s taken to a new level! Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto “Getz & Gilberto” Impex Records SACD 2025 Followed by another new arrival, “Enjoying the Ride,” the 60th Anniversary box set from the Grateful Dead. First concert I pulled out, Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, CT (3/14/81), disc 1

There was a single LP "Live" on Theresa, and then the cd added an additional track. And then in 2023 Theresa releaed a 2 LP reissue that included that additional track.

One of All “The Long Haul” Criss Cross cd I pulled out the four cds I have from this band to re-listen to. . . had to wipe a bit of dust off the tops!

Junko Onishi “Baroque” Verve cd Re-listening to this one again today before it gets re-filed in the shelves for another who knows how long period of time. . . .
