I’m glad I got the complete series of these concerts. Each recording is different. Horace Tapscott, Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra “Live at IUCC 11/25/79” disc 2

Re-listening to this one as I got interrupted halfway through last night. A good one. . . enjoying Tom Harrell’s involvement a lot. Wayne Escoffery “Like Minds” Smoke Sessions cd

I find it hard to believe how great the system sounds. Moving on to music from this century. . . . “In Common” Walter Smith III - tenor saxophone Matthew Stevens - guitar Joel Ross - vibraphone Harish Raghavan - double bass Marcus Gilmore - drums Recorded at the Clubhouse in Rhinebeck, NY December, 2017

Last night Lucinda and I watched Brittany Howard on “Austin City Limits.” Wow! The system sounded great and the performances were stellar! Now this warm morning on the main system more Prestige Coltrane. John Coltrane “Fearless Leader” 6 cd set, disc 5 Coltrane with Harden, Garland, Chambers and Cobb

Hi Randy, glad you are back.

John Coltrane “Fearless Leader” 6 cd set, disc 6 Haven’t listened to any Prestige Coltrane in some time. Correcting that!

Wes Montgomery “Movin’–The Complete Verve Recordings” disc 1

Grateful Dead “Sunshine Daydream” box set, Set 3 disc.

More Ellington, mid-forties. Duke Ellington “The Duke Ellington Centennial Edition: The Complete RCA Victor Recordings (1927-1973)” disc 15 486×500 30.1 KB Ray “Triple Threat” Nance 300×241 7.01 KB

Doubtful imo--their method seems to be to master from label tapes or what the label sends and then EQ, master etc. I have both the Mobile Fidelity and the Analogue Productions, and the latter sounds a bit better to me on my system, less "digital" in a way and a bit deeper sound and sound stage. Differing ADCs (newer in the case of the AP, and there are quite a few years and digital developments in between) used is my guess as well as differing EQ choices. I never think "this probably could not be improved upon" in the digital reissue world; transferring and mastering seems to always have incremental improvements possible. Right now More Ellington, mid-forties. Duke Ellington “The Duke Ellington Centennial Edition: The Complete RCA Victor Recordings (1927-1973)” disc 14

Hope everyone had a nice Easter. Starting off a cool morning with a great recording and great reissue: Duke Ellington “Blues in Orbit” Analogue Productions SACD

The cold is back after a warm (if wet) yesterday. We had a fun outdoor “protest” event yesterday, today we travel a few hours to visit one of Lucinda’s sister and brother-in-law for a holiday meal. Starting off with Out Of/Into “Motion I” a really nice gathering of Blue Note “young lions” that I have been enjoying since its release.

“Bill Evans - Further Ahead: Live in Finland 1964-1969” Elemental Music 2 cd set, disc 2 [IMG]450×450 32.4 KB Bill with Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell

Charles Mingus “The Clown” Atlantic/Analogue Productions SACD An excellent sounding edition of this fantastic album. I love all the work this group did. . .the front line is just glorious.

Going to be a wet, slightly soggy day. Getting some listening in before I have to get ready to go to a public gathering in Mentor with my wife and a few neighbors. Supposed to be a bit rainy, hope we can avoid a lot of the rain. I wanted to start off with the second disc of this set. . . but it won't load in the transport. Sigh. I'll try again in another transport later. "Bill Evans - Further Ahead: Live in Finland 1964-1969" Elemental Music 2 cd set So on to Joel Ross "The Parable of the Poet," Blue Note cd. I've been wanting to revisit this excellent disc for a while.

“Bill Evans - Further Ahead: Live in Finland 1964-1969” Elemental Music 2 cd set, cd 1

“The Unheard And Seldom Heard Ellington - Vol. 2” Blu-Disc T-1003 LP All test pressing sides but one which was an ARC disc for theaters only (not sold in stores). Sound is surprisingly good. I bought this about 7 years ago and haven’t listened to it much. Mostly small group sides, 1933-1941

I gave this disc its probably fourth SpinClean cleaning and it does sound cleaner. Wish this were reissued on cd! “Helen Sings, Teddy Swings” Helen Merrill with Teddy Wilson Trio, Catalyst Records LP Piano – Teddy Wilson Bass – Kunimitsu Inaba or Larry Ridley Drums – Lenny McB

Bump

Now Yesterday I played the stereo disc in this set, now onto the mono original release. I think I prefer the mono by a hair–fantastic music. Miles Davis “Milestones” Sony Blu-Spec CD2, stereo and mono 2 cd set

I don't know. For the most part I don't read liner notes any longer and so don't know if they explain it.
