In the long run, one of my favourite Tjader albums.

[jazzbo]

Santana "Caravanserai" Sony 7" SACD with stereo and quad mix

This was just released and sounds fantastic (I am only playing the stereo layer). I have the Mobile Fidelity SACD as well, which also sounds fantastic. This one is perhaps a hair more dynamic and a bit crisper sounding.

I like this one a lot.  Every time I play it my girlfriend looks at the cover and says "It's hard to find a good slip nowadays"

New release from last week, both a US and a Japan release simultaneously--I got the Japanese.

Donald Byrd "Live" Blue Note Universal Japan SHM-CD.

I like this more than I thought I would.

Jorge López Ruiz – Viejas Raices (EMI, 1975)

 

[Stompin at the Savoy]

I have the Mosaic set with these performances but saw an inexpensive used copy on ebay and snagged it.   Remastered by Malcolm Addey in 2007.  Seems like this has a clearer image than the Mosaic; very lively, warm and clear.

Not contradicting you, but if this has better sound than the Mosaic, it must be something else. I always thought the Birdland tracks on the Mosaic set sounded great.

Today, I've been streaming music by the Brazilian guitarist Sebastião Tapajós:

Violão & Amigos (RCA, Brazil, 1978)

and

Sebastião Tapajós - Pedro Dos Santos (Trova, Argentina, 1972)

So did I and they do.  This may be better.  Here's the booklet: https://musicbrainz.org/release/8c6f08c5-2b1d-4208-aa39-41a2b1bd838a/cover-art
