jazzbo Posted October 26, 2019 Report Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) A wonderful trio of albums to listen to back to back to back. Stan Getz "Sweet Rain" Verve Original cd. This was a perfect trio to support Stan moving a step forward. Horace Silver "Further Explorations of the Horace Silver Quintet" Blue Note Japan 24 bit by RVG LP facsimile cd. I'm beginning to think that Horace may have been positioning himself as the "Dave Brubeck of Hardbop." "Exploring" and visiting Tokyo, the Cape Verdean Islands, Mexico . . . . Man the trio sections of this date are really something, and those who diss Rudy's piano sound . . . well I like it on this record for sure. Nancy Harms, "Ellington at Night" (sorry couldn't find a smaller photo). http://jazzpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Nancy-Harms-Ellington-at-Night-CD-Cover.jpg I like this one much more than I thought I might. Could do without the strings which I don't think add what the artist and producer thought they might, but a nice batch of interpretations. In a way Harms makes me think of a Rickie Lee Jones that decided not to be a songwriter but to seriously interpret jazz. Very good recording. Edited October 26, 2019 by jazzbo Quote

I ordered the latest Japanese remaster, UCCQ-9525, earlier tonight. Seemed like a standout Horace Silver album. Quote

Seemed like a standout Horace Silver album. I have UCCQ-9525 too. You'll like it. These days in the current edition of my system the "24 bit by RVG" discs are really sounding wonderful so I've been playing those versions of these albums. It's as if Rudy created a character for each of these that comes through. Accurate? No. But some are very vivid and all grab my attention and keep it. Now, another recording of the Tannenberg organ in Salem. This is a very impressive organ built by my great great great great great grandfather, and fully restored. Great sound too.

jazzbo Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 "Louis Armstrong Plays W.C. Handy" Complete Edition, disc 2 Listening via Oppo PM-1 headphones and my Decware CSP3 preamplifier with 25th Anniversary mods while watching a cold wind blow through the wet autumn leaves on these beautiful trees here. Nice to be warm and dry. Quote

It's a gray market European thing that collects the alternate takes, and has a W.C. Handy interview and a few other performances by Louis of St.Louis Blues. Will be irrelevant as far as the real LP goes when the next Armstrong Mosaic set is released. Quote

mikeweil Posted October 27, 2019 Report Posted October 27, 2019 This CD reissue on él / Cherry Red combines the above LP with Tjader's second Verve LP from the January 1962 Blackhawk recordings. Both bands are in fine form, nice Paul Horn solos on the first. Tjader is in excellent form on the live tracks. Recommended. Quote
