Chet Baker - Chet Baker and Crew (1957)
Can I ask about the sound quality? I ordered a copy of this through Amazon directly and it turned out to be a CD-R. The first four tracks sound great, but then the sound inexplicably becomes slightly muffled for the rest of the disc. It's weird because the first half is one of the finest-sounding jazz albums I had heard at the time, but then the rest was frustrating. Did you experience this with your copy?

You didn't ask me, but my copy sounds fine. A shame you didn't receive an original OJC of this recording. I'd be asking for my money back if I were you.

Yeah, I didn't notice anything like that, either. Sorry to hear they sold you a dud.

Last night, those two fine ones by Johnny Griffin's (CD-Rs, too, btw ... sucks!) - also, lots of Mingus lately ... today, so far:

Mingus, Paris 1970 - before the concert on DIW (Oct 28, can't find a good cover), now the studio session, three days later:



Good stuff!

Yeah! The Dyani is another desert island disc for me. The Lament and Abstract albums I was hearing for the first time, and they were particularly impressive among today's listening. The others were also fine, but I'll be playing those two again in the very near future.
