What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[HutchFan]

Roy Eldridge - Dale's Wail (Verve, 2 LPs)
Supremely relaxed small-group swing.  Eldridge's absolute mastery is evident in every note.

Looks like a rare Item. Getz is the 'most collected' artist in my collection. But you cant have everything

No surprise there.  It's got "your guy" on bass: George Duvivier.  

Actually, I love Duvivier too.  I just think you were the one who made me sit up & listen to him carefully.

Now spinning:

Herbie Mann - The Evolution of Mann (Atlantic, 2-LPs)
This 1972 compilation is one of many Herbie Mann albums that I've found in dollar bins.  Just like @Teasing the Korean notes on this thread.

I spent some time over this weekend to reconfigure my LP playback. Rather than sending the output from my phono preamp in DSD format to my DAC, I am using the balanced analog output of the phono preamp into a ZBIT and from there single-eneded out to the second input of the SEWE300B. This means I no longer have remote volume or balance control, nor does the path go through a ZROCK2 into the SEWE300B.

Overall really good sound–just lacking a little bit of “oomph” to lower midrange and bass that a ZROCK2 would provide. (I have a ZROCK3 on order to remedy this situation).

Listened to one of my favorite LPs bought in the mid-seventies, Flora Purim “500 Miles High–Live at the Montreux Jazz Festival.” Wow. I love this music, this recording, and the history I have with it.

Now listening to Bob Dylan Bootleg Series Vol. 10, “Another Self Portrait” LP 1. Sounds quite good. . . just wish it has a bit more bass.

Mark Masters is still at it. I have a couple of his more recent CDs, a Gary McFadden tribute, "Wish Me Well" (2006) & an Ellington tribute, "Ellington Saxophone Encounters" (2012). I bought both mainly because they have Gary Smulyan on them but I have no regrets as there is some great playing by all on these two.

I have those. I'm also fond of his Blanton/Webster and Porgy and Bess cds. And "Blue Skylight," his Mingus and Mulligan one, is excellent.

Thats good news. Even I did slow down buying more CD's  these might be interesting for me as big band fan  and I will have a look for Items with reasonable price.

And yes Gary Smulyan is a fine bariton player

Thanks for the Info

amazing record. Sound quality is very good. There are some issues with it in track B but sounds like a tape issue. Great decision to release this concert.
