patricia Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 (edited) This weekend-- so far : Blakey & Jazz Messengers, "Freedom Rider" Bobby Hutcherson- "Stick Up" Stanley Turrentine- "Mr. Natural" Coleman Hawkins- "Hawk Eyes" I have a lot of CDs, but I am starting to think that the only way to really listen to jazz is on vinyl. It just seems so RIGHT, know what I mean? Even the little staticky parts on the vinyl   The vinyl sounds better, more ALIVE. I love that quality, as welll as the larger art work, the record label, and all that glorious vinyl. Welcome to the small but dedicated ranks of the truly enlightened. Vinyl has a beating heart, a warmth, a pulse that CD's IMO do not. As for CDs not requiring the careful handling that vinyl does, that's nonsense. Quality things, whether they are cashmere sweaters, fine china, beautiful art or jazz vinyl, all deserve special care in order to last. Vinyl is surprisingly durable, as evidenced by collections which are decades old and still pristine and beautifully playable, because their owners cared. All the other qualities you mentioned are what draw me to vinyl over CDs, though, of course I have CDs as well. There is no turntable in a car, sadly. Vinyl. I love it!!!

Worth the money? Goddamn they're expensive... Good question. With this Blue Note series, I guess it depends on a few factors. These are very, very nice reissues or would not keep buying them. Without going into detail, my only reservation is that the high frequency distortion, apparent on many BN's, is still present in greater and lesser degrees on these. It's especially bad on Lee Morgan/ Vol.3. Out of the last six I've gotten it's the only one I'm not happy with. I've been buying these kinds of reissues for years and I'm glad I have been doing so. They all get lots of play and I feel it's worth it. Get Morgan/Candy and see if it's worth it for you. Edited March 11, 2005 by wolff Quote

king ubu Posted March 12, 2005 Report Posted March 12, 2005 (edited) Some vinyl I took out of the shelf, planning to play over the next few weeks (I seldom play my LPs, but there's some real nice ones that - only because they're LPs - are getting much too little air time): - Farmer/Golson: Another Git Together (Japanese reissue) - Art Farmer: "live" at the half-note (old-looking Atlantic*) - Art Farmer: To Sweden with Love (old-looking Atlantic*) - Eddie Bert: Musician of the Year (Savoy, RCA reissue from 1985) - Teddy Edwards/Howard McGhee: Young at Heart (Storyville) - Bud Shank: Live at the Haig (see more here) - Tenors West: Jimmy Giuffre with the Marty Paich Octet (GNP 1977**) - Fru'n Brew: Tony Fruscella & Brew Moore (Spotlite) - Sal Salvador feat. Eddie Costa: Tribute to the Greats (Bethlehem, Freshsound reissue) - Curtis Fuller: Blues-ette (Savoy, RCA reissue from 1984) * how to check if these are original pressings? Not that I care all that much, but I have the LPs at hand and the knowledgeable people here... ** was that the original release? Or did that come out earlier? ubu Edited March 12, 2005 by king ubu Quote

Or did that come out earlier? ubu This was originally released by Gene Norman Presents under Marty Paich's name. First a ten-incher, then a twelve-incher. Both in the '50s. It was also released as 'Tenors West' if I remember right. It was reissued in the late '70s as by Giuffre/Paich when Giuffre became 'famous' Quote
