Yet another Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary SHM-SACD, Grant Green “I Want to Hold Your Hand”

Thank you ! I MUST listen to this again, so beautiful and I remember that Serena (my wife) liked it very much.

Milcho Leviev + Bob Magnusson + Carl Burnett .... no-brainer ....

I have that and like it. This must have been about the time I saw him with another rhythm section. 
But I must admit, after some time it gets a bit more difficult for me to listen to Art Pepper. Sure he sounds much better that the more "white" sound he had in the 50´s, but maybe it was too much booze and to much drugs, but it seems that his imagination was quite impaired in those last years...... sad ...

Some of my favourite bop albums. Very fine recorded and Stitt with Bud is wonderful. This confirms my theory that Bud never played better than in company of other congenial partners, like THIS ONE, like the "Night at Birdland" or "Massey" or with Blakey in Paris and all those occasions....

The sides with J.J. is also great, but goes into another direction, maybe this is what later would become "cool jazz" ?

Horace Silver "Blowin' the Blues Away" Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary SHM-SACD 

I wish it was just that easy, that one could blow the blues away.

Sounds great.

Just one example below of why my personal favorite period of jazz recordings dates from about 1952 or 53 to about 1964.

There are many jazz recordings from both earlier and later dates of which I am highly fond, but that 52-64 time period is my favorite.  

[kh1958]

   B.B. King in France (1977) (Elemental)

Now playing:

Roland Hanna & George Mraz - Sir Elf + One (Choice, 1978)

Exquisite.

Also, in this instance, the CD sounds MUCH better than the original LP pressing.
