king ubu Posted November 12, 2013 Report Posted November 12, 2013 disc one / Round About Midnight Quote
king ubu Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 Still with the Miles ... enjoying it a lot - but since I got to really know all of this music with the great box sets from the 90s, it does feel weird to have these, uhm, abridged versions ... Into disc five, "Porgy and Bess", by now ... and continuing. Impression is pretty good, doing a quick comparison of "Milestones" on headphones showed maybe a bit less clarity (and obviously less space), but making up for that with more punch. But "Jazz Track", the "Ascenseur" part really doesn't sound too good - all that reverb they added, I know it's "original", but still, it's not sounding good at all. Don't think the old French CD I've got sounded that bad in the "reverb"-portion, but then I enjoy the full session more anyway (and I just tried my luck in finally obtaining a copy of the 2003 digipack reissue from Universal France, the one that should be a considerable upgrade on the old CD).

erwbol Posted November 13, 2013 Report Posted November 13, 2013 If the Ascenseur soundtrack is poor quality I might think twice about the Miles Mono box. I know the soundtrack from the Criterion DVD, and would like a copy of the best sounding CD in my collection. I might save my money for that and the upcoming MoFi KOB SACD, which should be definitive, instead. Quote

jeffcrom Posted November 18, 2013 Report Posted November 18, 2013 Sonny Rollins - The Freelance Years. I decided that wanted to hear something from this set, and realized that I don't "know" The Sound of Sonny very well, so that's what I'm spinning. Quote
king ubu Posted November 18, 2013 Report Posted November 18, 2013 The 2003 digipack reissue from Universal France. That's the one (to own). Got it yesterday! Seems it's not really a different remaster, just a new transfer - it does sound somewhat better though, for sure! Quote
