Miles' favorite album Jack Johnson, it's a desert-island disc for me, along with Tony William's Lifetime Believe It.

If you edit sound files, there is a nice enhancement you can make to the Jack Johnson album, and copy the snippet with the voiceover at the end of Yesternow ("I'm Jack Johnson.  Heavyweight Champion of the World") and put it in front of "Right Off".  It really sets the mood for the amazing 26 minutes that follow.

Snapped up these two on Friday.  Test drive for Vol. 1 was terrific.  About to pop in Vol. 2.

Disc 2:



One could lose their mind trying to complete Ellington and the different pressings.  On the other hand, could be kind of fun.

That and the companion volume (Blanton-Webster Years) were my introduction to Duke. Great stuff. Pity about the mastering.

Earlier today:



The Duke 1940
Live from The Crystal Ballroom in Fargo, ND
Volume 1

Bassist Jimmy Blanton and drummer Sonny Greer were definitely highlights for me on this recording.

One of my favorite album covers!  :)

Definitely. :)

In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Purchases today:

     

Two notes:

-I believe that The Squirrel cd is OOP.  Still can be had at a decent price. 

-The GO cd was fun to purchase at my favorite used record shop because they had the 1990 cd release and the Rudy Van Gelder edition.  When played back in forth in a comparison test it was almost like listening to two different performances of the same tunes.  For me, the older edition won out as it had more seperation of the instruments (sounded like what I expect "stereo" to sound like) and lacked an "umph" that did little for me in the Gelder edition.

Hate to say it, but those Gelder BNs are absolutely horrible.

On the other hand, everything you just bought except the OOP one has been remastered by Steve Hoffman recently for LP and SACD.

I have a couple Gelders on the shelf and now am considering trading them in for an older version.  LP's?  Hmmm....Can those be had at Acoustic Sounds, Kevin?

Gelder's work for other labels has always been fine, but when he started the BN RVG series, something snapped. Probably a hearing drum.

Bogey, sure. Follow this link. Your credit card company will be glad you did.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is 45 RPM Vinyl LP?  Is this a 10" LP designed to be played at 45 RPM (I guess my turntable can do that)?  If so, I've never heard of this, but is the principle that the faster the RPM the better the sound?

Yeah, basically. It means the record was cut at 45, enabling a longer groove to be cut. There's also half-speed mastering where both the master tape and the lacquer move at half the speed, allowing more detail and dynamic range to be cut into the groove.
