Rabshakeh Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 Candy Dulfer - Sax-a-Go-Go Early Candy Dulfer is a bit of a surprise to me. I'd only heard her later records, by which time she'd aged into boring smooth jazz proper. Whereas I really did enjoy my first listen this. Sort of Acid Jazz Jazz. Influences seem to be David Sanborn, 1980s Miles Davis and Prince, etc. It is very very commercial pop jazz and there is the drum machine, but she has an unexpectedly forceful saxophone tone. Quote

jazzbo Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 Listening again to this new release. I like it a lot! Walter Smith III “Twio, Vol. 2” Blue Note cd Quote
jazzbo Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 I have a handful of versions of this classic release and this one is the one I find most pleasant to listen to, a DSD mastered reissue from Japan in 2000, Sony SRCS 9703. Miles Davis +19 “Miles Ahead” SRCS 9703 cd I like all the collaborations with Gil Evans, but this one holds a special place in my listening world. Quote
Referentzhunter Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 (edited) Listening for the third time in a row, ... it's very good for the first half of the album but it loses it view/tension for the second half a little bit. I think i will keep this one. Edited March 7 by Referentzhunter Quote
jazzbo Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 It’s been a while since I have played “Agharta” and my system is somewhat improved since then, I’m really enjoying this spinning. Miles Davis “Agharta” Sony SRCS 9720-21 DSD mastered 2 cd set Quote
dougcrates Posted March 7 Report Posted March 7 When I added this CD to my Discogs collection I noticed another user left this strange review: "As much fun as the music is, this is a disappointing release because of the significant amount of noise reduction that has obviously been applied. Mosaic are the stewards of a corporate jazz narrative, and here we have an excellent example of how agenda dictates all the terms. Recorded in '55, there should be a substantial amount of hiss if these transfers were unaltered. There is absolutely no hiss, and the overall sound is muted in that special way only NR can deliver. Mark Wilder is an employee of Sony and he is responsible for many of these special transfers, you know, the copy protected ones, because that is what noise reduction is, just like the R.I.A.A. curve, or HDCD, or K2 Supercoding, they have nothing to do with improving sound quality!"
