Thanks for the advisory on that. I listened to the Shaw a bit earlier and it took me right back to seeing this band live, some months after this recording, I will consider picking up the LP version, if I can find it at the right price.

I have ‘Blackstone’ on a white label Contemporary vinyl 

I hesitate on buying new vinyl, but I will probably make an exception for this.  Hopefully, it will include a download cod with all of the tracks.

I wonder if the lps are being mastered from an analog source?  Digitally mastered vinyl, in general, gives me the heebie jeebies.

I listened to some of the Dizzy -- the guitarist, Rodney Jones, sounds really good on that one.  It's a 2cd release with no omitted tracks.

Freddy King: Blues Guitar Hero

[paul secor]

Art Pepper Mosaic Select - disc 2

[kinuta]

Disc 8   Sal Salvador - Juicy Lucy.

I much prefer this to the Starfingers session on Disc 7, on which his guitar is lost in the fussy mix.

Here he comes on clear and strong with a piano trio adding to the punch, not diluting it.

Could you pls share your thoughts on this one .... ?

soulpope,

I am very pleased with this CD. The 6 tunes are all good ones. Broadbent plays in a style that is warm,  tasteful and swinging.

If you are familiar with Alan's other trio recordings, this has a similar feeling to it.
