jazzbo Posted March 24 Report Posted March 24 I listened to the Stereo LP of “My Favorite Things” in the mono/stereo 2 LP package. It has taken me a long time over many years and many spins on cd, SACD and LP to really appreciate the disciplined focus of this album, and why it was a success and why it is a landmark release and was so responsible for Coltrane’s stardom. Now on to Ahmad Jamal “Emerald City Nights (Live At The Penthouse 1966-1968)” Elemental Music cd 2 Quote

I don´t know what was wrong with RVG on that day, since Horace Silver´s piano sounds outright tinny. That´s not RVG´s famous piano sound..... Yes the J. Griffin vinyl sounds great for me 9 hours ago, Chuck Nessa said: 👍 💗 Quote

There's an interesting writeup on all this in the new Wheeler biography (excellent). It was an early 8-track desk and there was strange placement of players and lots of bleed-through between tracks (Oxley in particular). The first mix was a disaster so Kenny brought Bob Cornford in to rework it, which did miracles apparently. From recollection the Incus LP mix has the same issues. That’s interesting, thanks Bob. I thought I was being overly critical as a result of listening through my new headphones. The first track in particular is a bit of a mess. Still, a great record. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 25 Report Posted March 25 It took me a while to get around to the ECM titles of Dave Holland. I heard a few when they were first released and they just didn’t click with me, but the past few years I realize how vital and interesting they are. This one I like a lot! Dave Holland Quintet “Extended Play: Live at Birdland” ECM 2 cd set, disc 1 Chris Potter – soprano, alto and tenor saxophones Robin Eubanks – trombone Steve Nelson – vibraphone, marimba Billy Kilson – drums Dave Holland – double-bass Dave Holland Quintet recorded at the Birdland jazz club over four days in November 2001 and released by ECM in 2003 40 Quote
