The new remastered The Magic City sounds excellent.

This is not in the Castro box. Released earlier on Fantasy. https://www.allaboutjazz.com/live-at-falcon-lair-zoot-sims-fantasy-jazz-review-by-jack-bowers.php

Sun Ra, "The Magic City," the new remastered reissue from Mythic Sound. Sounds great.

Most of what I read about these were in stereo magazine and from audiophiles; I got the impression that in some cases it was among the few jazz recordings known and in their collection. . . so they may have felt this was adventurous or ground-breaking with little context.

The amazing SACD disc one. I wasn't expecting anything too adventurous, certainly not earth-shattering. But it's good music, nice listening. I'm also a fan of Swedish jazz of this vintage, these tracks fit in well with others I have.

Honestly I've never heard the "Jazz at the Pawnshop" discs before, though I've heard music from the jazz musicians involved. It just seems that they were lauded for their sound alone, and they are likely the only jazz discs some audiophiles own. Thought I would get around to them one day. Well a month or so ago I noticed there were now three SACDs and a DVD in a very inexpensive box set so I ordered one and it arrived today. Listening to disc 1 and it sounds quite nice indeed.

Still wanting to like this one more than I like it, but the sound is very interesting.

Another great Live Jerry, released today. This one features his playing Wolf. I love that guitar (which may be why I have two luthier built guitars inspired by Wolf!)

The new Solid Records reissue cd from Japan.

I love this session. This version has the added applause that was on the original LP release. It sounds GREAT. I wish Jimmy Rushing sang with Duke more often!

Zizi Possi - Sobre Todas As Coisas

Mine too. There were a few Ellington compositions I first encountered here that I really love.

SHM-CD Continuing my listening to Hill on piano.

Wrecked, Season 2 (LOST parody)

It's great. Wish it had come out in the SHM-CD series. Right now this one. . . Sublime.

Blue Note Connoisseur series CD.

He was only in Season 1 of Treme. Just mentioning it in case you were going to start with Season 2 for some reason!

I'm more than eight years into retirement. I took to it right away.

SHM-CD

You're welcome Marcel. I pre-ordered. . .there may not be too many of these pressed.

Another SHM-CD
