Larry Kart Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Very disappointing. Works strike me as bland and mechanical. That may be because they were left in incomplete shape and were put together for performance by various would-be Skalkottas "experts." First time anything by NS has let me down this way.

From Dial there was no exclusive record out then, they usually were mixed in different series, or later on Spotlite there was annoying that there was a lot of "alternative takes" . I think the Savoy and Dials were the essential Bird to learn the style and the tunes, and I was happy when I got this 3 CD collection.

jazzbo Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 I haven't done much listening because I was waiting for my new DAC to be delivered and as it was supposed to arrive on Sunday I took my modded DAC out of the main system and moved it into the headphone system, and that stock DAC I packed up as it was to be traded in for the new one. (All three are PS Audio DirectStream DSD DACs, one the original I bought, stock, another one modded with upgraded transformers and an outboard power supply for the analog board, and this third one the Mk2 version just released). Well, although it was loaded and out for delivery Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, each day at about five p.m. there was an "Operational Delay" and it was rescheduled for the next day. I guess I should be lucky that it got here today. It sounds great. Right now, playing again, Wynton Marsalis "Blue Interlude" Columbia cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 Now listening to Earl Hines: Recorded in 1972, Tour de Force is top-shelf Hines, IMO. It seems like he make about a thousand records in the Seventies, and most of them are solo -- like this one. Obviously, some of his albums are better than others, but I haven't heard even one that's forgettable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 (edited) A release I know so very well as it was one of the first records that really excited me after I returned from Africa in '72. Miles Davis "Filles de Kilimanjaro" SACD, first SACD through the new DAC. Edited March 22 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rhythm section was Corea, Holland & Williams and Chick looked scared all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
