So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

I’m starting off a warm morning with an album that has haunted my listening world since about '74. After I digested “Miles at Fillmore” and “Live/Evil” I tackled this and let it wash over me for many plays. I could get no one around me to sit still and listen to this–they were all wrapped up in Pink Floyd and would hardly listen to any jazz let alone a funky assault on the senses that this one is. (To this day I can’t spin Floyd–I heard it so much during this time and I lost any interest).

I have my OG LP but this SACD version has a certain balance that I love to listen to, it became my go to version.

Miles Davis “On the Corner” Mobile Fidelity Lab SACD

Something very different, but having in common a rhythmic focus.

My dad had that CD, and it is indeed a really good one.

Saw Hutch with a quartet in KC around 1998-99, but am struggling to recall who he was with. Extremely sweet man.

No, it's a tribute title from the Orchestre National de Jazz.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience “Are You Experienced?” Analogue Productions SACD

 

 

Over five decades of listening to this music and still the innovation, the virtuosity and the nice dollops of cheese and corn floor me.

Stereo, and sounds like the real thing. Puzzling for a little label in '55. I don’t remember how the album sounded, sold it in the early 'nineties. Nice music!
