The estate put the whole thing up on Youtube. Go to YouTube itself for the entire Playlist.

It's no longer on Dimeadozen, but I still have the FLAC files from 2006 on my hard drive. I can upload to dropbox or similar for whomever is interested. ---------------- Miles Davis Sextet March 6, 1970 Fillmore East New York City Miles Davis - trumpet Wayne Shorter - tenor & soprano saxophones Chick Corea - electric piano Dave Holland - acoustic & electric basses Jack DeJohnette - drums Airto Moreira - percussion Disc One: First Show 1.

Thanks to all involved for your efforts. This should not be confused with the following night's concert (March 7), which Columbia officially released as "It's About That Time" in 2001. When the Fillmore Tree was originally distributed, the general consensus was that this March 6 recording sounded much better than the official March 7 release.

The masters have been used for subsequent (budget) reissues in jewel cases, some up until recently while others having been replaced with for instance the US Originals masters of the 2011 SHM-CD masters. I have a spare copy of this Ascension in jewel case in near mint condition as well (UCCI-9124). Are you perhaps interested for a friendly price? I also have Live at the Village Vanguard Again! (UCCI-9144). Also a spare copy of the incredible SHM-CD from 2011 of Meditations without the distortion in the bass of the all domestic releases. And SHM-CD 2011 of Transition. Friendly price means free except the price of shipping, which is not budget from the Netherlands.

A lot of them are very good. I have almost the entire Coltrane portion of the series, except the ones I didn't need like The Coltrane Quartet Plays (APO Hybrid SACD). The mini-LPs are laminated and so not easily damaged (unlike the Alice Coltrane mini-LPs from 2004). This is the best Ascension CD I have heard. The Kevin Reeves from 2000 had too much highs, the Originals from 2008 also by Reeves was even worse with added compression.

Though the two sets from March 6, 1970 have been recorded in much better sound without the added distortion. Strange Sony chose to only release March 7, 1970. The soundboard bootleg from the other night is an essential companion.

The most recent 96/24 Van Halen remasters were apparently badly compressed while the 192/24 released at the same time weren't. Go figure. These Blue Note HD Tracks files are fine though.

I am not an organ fan in general, but the RVG remasters sucked the life out of all organ CDs I heard, like Unity. I'm not saying Unity was the worst RVG, but it made the Hammond B3 even harder to listen to. On the other hand, I loved the 75th anniversary SHM-CD of Unity with the unreleased alternates. Also John Patton's That Certain Feeling.

The new remasters released on regular CDs last June and July for Blue Note's 80th anniversary are also very good and do not suffer from the limiting problems a handful of the 75th anniversary SHM-CDs had. The 75th anniversary SHM-CD, UCCQ-5092, is good and worth seeking out, but is one of those with just a bit too much limiting IMO. When there are already peaks in the audio like on McCoy Tyner's Expansions or Wayne Shorter's Odyssey of Iska this creates problems unless you prefer to listen on low volumes anyway.

I bought the Japanese RVG of Basra after reading your comment either here on on the Hoffman forums. So, it's more like I'm with you.

Pete La Roca Basra, only released in Japan (and Europe with copy protection*), is the best Blue Note RVG CD remaster I think I have heard. I still prefer the way Joe Henderson sounds on the very good BN Works (TOCJ-4205) with its wider soundstage, but the highs of the cymbals are a tad rolled off, though not as bad as other BN Works titles, and the RVG is not too hot. The absolute worst RVG CD remaster would be hard to pick, but one that immediately comes to mind is actually a Prestige New Jazz album, Eric Dolphy and Booker Little at the Five Spot Vol. 1 & 2. The sound is drastically changed from what is on the tapes to create a booming bass. Only in the process there is actually at times distortion introduced in Booker's trumpet sound. Clearly audible on my Sennheiser HD 650s years ago back when I was listening on headphones only. The best (SA)CDs of the three Five Spot albums are IMO the Japanese DSD remasters from 2007 by Kazuie Sugimoto and the Analogue Productions Hybrid SACD of vol. 1 by Kevin Gray. * The copy protection used on the European Blue Note CDs in the mid 00s introduced audible artefacts. Digital pops only audible on headphones, but exactly reproducible. Avoid the Blue Note CDs pressed during that era at all cost. The SHM-SACD of Out to Lunch, UCGQ-9020 from 2017, is the best by far. It's not hybrid and does not come with the bonus tracks.

I can't stand any of her later albums, but Ptah, The El Daoud is fabulous.

An excellent opportunity to invest in some of the MFSL Hybrid SACDs. Most sound astonishingly good. And the original Teo Macero LP mixes used on most (but not all) of these make all the difference. Nefertiti & Sorcerer are revelations compared to the Mark Wilder remixes on the Sony CDs. Sketches of Spain is also amazing. As is Miles Smiles even though that one uses the Mark Wilder remix. The MFSLs should be less expensive in the US than in Europe.

If not, perhaps they should try listening to some great Mønk instead.

"I was rude with an idiot."

Like Chuck mentions, Discogs lists a lot of single CDs with the same 3 bonus tracks added, from 1986 Germany to 2011 SHM-CD from Japan. The 1-bit DSD remaster from 2007 has just the 5 original album tracks like the 2003 LPR. I therefore believe the DSD mastering wasn't used for subsequent Japanese reissues.

Lee Konitz Motion (UCCV-9330) mini-LP with 1-bit DSD mastering from 2007 just arrived and it's great. No compression added, no reverb like on the 2003 domestic LPR CD. The 3CD from 1998 didn't have reverb either, but is otherwise surpassed sonically by UCCV-9330. For the extra content the 3CD remains essential, but it will see much less playtime from now on. €25 well spent.

Last film I watched: Parasite. One of the best films of the decade.

@mjazzg I hear Big Sam is looking for a club.

The most recent McCoy Tyner album in my collection.

Cheating with expiration dates. I'd worry about food poisoning.
