Cliff Jordan/John Gilmore BLOWING IN FROM CHICAGO [Blue Note/Analogue Production MONO SACD] The REAL DEAL including sidemen Horace Silver, Curly Russell and Art Blakey

 

[Quad Linda]

Jordan/Gilmore. A fantastic jazz SACD!

Caught Gilmore live twice. Once with Sun Ra's band, including Herman "Sonny" Blount He co-led this band along w/Blount and Marshall Allen. When Sonny passed, Gilmore took the reigns. Caught that lineup live, as well.

This SACD is more like the sound of the players featured here. It's certainly not some of the Sun Ra's more obtuse records. Fidelity is good for its' time: HIGH FIDELITY mono.

You NEED it!

Stanley Turrentine UP AT "MINTON'S" [Blue Note/Analogue Production Stereo SACD] Another great live recording featuring sidemen Grant Green, Horace Parlan, George Tucker and Al Harewood

Duke Ellington & John Coltrane

NIce album, good combination.
Two giants in the same room, hard not to be impressed.
Sound is a bit fuzzy in places but the perfectionist in me is nitpicking.

Miles Davis - Four & More

This albums chugs along at a fast pace, keeps you involved.
Super nice live recording for the era.
Really liked it.

Bill Evans/Shelly Manne - Empathy

Pianos often sound crappy, not here. Clear and undistorted.
Shelly Manne and Monty Budwig also given plenty of chance to show their stuff.
The AP Verve SACDs haven’t disappointed me yet.

Eagles - One of These Nights

Good album.
Like the previous 3 albums I expected to recognize a song or two beyond the three singles, but not this time.
Sound is generally pretty good, Lyin Eyes in particular sounds amazing, but sadly the title track sticks out like a sore thumb, it’s a muffled mess.

Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow

Everybody knows the hits but there’s a lot of other great tunes buried here.
Sure, the sound is late ‘66, kinda rough.
Despite that there’s still a depth (maybe the mono, which in this case I prefer, helps?) that draws you in.

I could dig it if SDE would release this one in 5.1 and or Atmos. Would be sweet!

I could dig it if SDE would release this one in 5.1 and or Atmos.

Does an Atmos mix of it already exist?

 

[GOS]

Does an Atmos mix of it already exist?

That’s the obvious question. Doubt it, but I’m hoping it will!

My favorite Eagles album! I just opened and on the 4th song. So far, the best sounding version of this album I’ve heard. Makes me want to break down and do the two-step. I mean, order the One-Step.

 

[Perp]

I should have said, best digital sounding version because I haven’t heard the original vinyl in years. Or, 8-track tape, for that matter.

Art Blakey - Jazz Messengers!!

Upbeat album with some great playing.
Love hearing Curtis Fuller’s trombone and Lee Morgan is a standout.
Nice sound on this AP SACD.

Pat Metheny - Bright Size Life

Nice album, his first. Makes me realize I need to revisit all my early Metheny discs.
Clear clean sound on this SHM SACD

That IS a brilliant album...one of my favorites in Pat's extensive catalog.

Shelly Manne - 234

Coleman Hawkins shines on three tracks and love Eddie Costa’s vibes on The Sicks of Us.
George Duvivier is a stand out on bass and Shelly is solid, holding it all together.
