First in the player is Wayne Shorter “Night Dreamer” Blue Note 85th Anniversary SHM-SACD 584×584 49.2 KB After losing power to half of the house for some inexplicable reason things are back to normal now–Lucy and I tried everything we could for an hour or more and then the power company came, the tech touched the meter, and power came back. Going to have an electrician take a loot soon. . . but glad to have heat and water for the night. Before that three boxes from cdjapan arrived and this is the first disc I’m playing. Sound is very similar to the UHQCD released of this title in the series, a bit mellower sounding . . . in my system SACD has a slight edge, always it seems. . . both discs sound very very good in comparison to other cd reissues of this title from the past. Continuing my first session of the day. . . . Another SHM-SACD in the Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary series Herbie Hancock “Empyrean Isles” Sounds very good. 275×275 63.6 KB There seems to be a bit more bass. I find the high frequencies a bit more mellow–which is how SACD separates itself from redbook cd playback most in my system, the mellower highs and a bit less forward presentation. In general these SHM-SACD sound very similar to the UHQCD releases of the same material, which makes sense. If your system “likes” SACD a bit more and it’s a favorite title you might well enjoy the SHM-SACD version a bit more. Really a cool line those two BN hits. I think I like the Empire Islands most from the acoustic Hancock stuff. From Wayne I think my favourite of this time is "The All seeing Eye"..... Quote
jazzbo Posted December 18, 2024 Report Posted December 18, 2024 I like all the Hancock and Shorter Blue Notes. Each is different, and that's a great thing. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 18, 2024 Report Posted December 18, 2024 Duke Ellington “Money Jungle” Blule Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD I can say with authority that this is the best sounding digital version I have ever heard of this monumental session. If only it had all the additional material! This is music that I always react to. . . with respect and joy. Quote
