Big Al Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 BN still doesn't have the new reissuses listed on the site http://www.bluenote.com/rvg_promo.asp They do now, but oddly enough, Silver's Serenade is not on that page, even though it's listed on the New Releases page. Have y'all seen the reviews of these on AMG by Thom Jurek? Man, talk about overboard..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Stream Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Really enjoying the new Silver right now. Great album that I never had, one of the few original BNs that I didn't. What a band, what writing, what a record! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjk Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Do not ignore Infinity. I'd love to not ignore Infinity, but as far as I know, it's only available as an expensive import. Maybe it too will be a Conn or RVG, sooner or later?? Infinity was available as a Connoisseur in 1998 . It does make an excellent companion to Jackie Mclean's Consequence as well . The 1990 CD of Tom Cat has the cover from the Japanese lp reissue I believe . Does the new RVG have any photos from the session ? I'm curious to know how the new Tom Cat compares sonically to the first CD issue . I picked up Tom Cat yesterday and I'm a bit disappointed with the sound. In comparison with the earlier CD issue, the instruments seem a little more clear on the RVG, but there is no warmth at all, nor is there any stereo seperation amongst the horns. Maybe it's my equipment, though I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Listening to TOM CAT right now. My goodness, I love this album!!! Which makes it all the more surprising that I traded this away so many years ago; what the heck was I thinking? As far as sound goes, I don't remember the McMaster sounding THIS good! This CD smokes!!! Glad to have it back in my collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 TOM CAT sounds great to me too! Better than the McMaster I remember. I always love a lineup with Curtis Fuller! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 a friend gave me dippin' about a year ago- and i really enjoy it..... however is it worth it to go out and get the new RVG remaster? how much has the sound improved from the original cd issue?
