I do have good original LPs of both of those titles - and the Tone Poet of 'Dialogue'. Not played them for a while but it is swings and roundabouts I think. There would likely be higher fidelity but possibly at the expense of somebsurface noise. At the end of the day it will probably depend on your LP and/or CD playback equipment but what I am finding with the Mosaic is that it is more than adequate and noise-wise dead quiet. A great set - the people who gave taken over CD mastering at Mosaic are doing a brilliant job.

Thank you

Sometimes I think that whoever owns the LRC label these days keeps changing the covers to try to fake out buyers into re-buying titles they already have.

I have seen Benny Golson very often live. His early compositions are great. Maybe he is not really my idea of a soloist on Saxophone, maybe the sound, maybe his phrasing, but to have a horn player with THAT Rhythmsection, I think I´d listen to it somewhere.

Bird was a big influence of my musical thinking, even if due to my age I didn´t hear music chronologically, that means I would have discovered Bird after I was into the styles of music of the late 60´s early 70´s. The first time I read Bird´s name was when there appeared a super Mingus triple record in Paris 1970 or 71, which had a take "Parkeriana".

But listenig to a simple tune like Billies Bounce or more even, Now´s the time so many times one after the other, is just torture for me. I have a Prestige album of Wardell Gray that also has so may tracks.

Woke up to -11 degrees. I have to do a bit of running around today. . . going to be careful! Fiona the dachshund has decided she is NOT going out.

Listening to a cd that arrived yesterday from cdjapan, Chet Baker “Live in Japan 1986 Sendai VOL. 1” Timeless Records/Solid Records Japan cd

Sound is good, not great–sounds best to me with Phase “Reversed” on my DAC.

Following up with another one in from cdjapan.

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers “Meet You At The Jazz Corner Of The World Vol.1” Blue Note Japan 24 bit by RVG SHM-CD 2023

The distortion on the master tape is a bit annoying. I have LP burns of the mono volumes that sound better (from the days when I was trading music cdrs with drummer Danny D’Imperio).

It's good. It's probably not essential if you have other 1986 Chet recordings, but I really have come to love late Chet and this and Vol. 2 I am glad to add.
