These Apple Music compilations are head-scratchers to me. I guess I don't see why they think a compilation will get more plays than the actual LPs that they pulled the music from (in this case, "Grant's First Stand" & "Stop & Listen")... unless it's a way to avoid paying mechanical royalties to the artists?

This is a really nice session. I like Ms Cole and One for All. Unfortunately this is on Venus cd. I just really don’t enjoy the Venus house mastering style. It’s not the worst of the lot but I wish it had been on a label with different mastering. I can futz around with gain in my system and it is nice, but I’d rather not futz.

George Masso & Dan Barrett “Let’s Be Buddies” Arbors Jazz cd

Close friendly jazz in excellent sound. Masso is a seasoned pro of decades of jazz leadership and a multi-instrumental master and Barrett is a virtuoso trombonist and can play a mean trumpet.
