sidewinder Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) ‘The Artful Dodger’ on Concord is worth checking out. Includes a snippet of him soloing on drums as ‘Kid Krupa’ with Glenn Miller’s AAFB during WW2 as a very young prodigy ! Update on the Riverside. Marked T/P on the inner so test pressing it is I guess. Edited November 25, 2020 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) Jimmy Smith - Back at the Chicken Shack. Original mono BLP 4177, in pretty decent shape. Picked up, strangely, in a flea market in Reykjavik in early March 2019. Apart from a local soccer club shirt for my boy, this was the only souvenir I took home from the island, an amazing, other-worldly place. And the music is smoking good, as if anyone can argue that. I'll always associate it with Iceland now. Edited November 26, 2020 by Dmitry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a mint 2-eye for $3 in the bargain bin at the old Academy Records in NYC around 2001, then a six-eye, also on the cheap. These could be had for a song, but not any more. Enjoy!

Is there an actual reason to care other than some obscure obsessive "record collector" reason? Is one heavier, higher quality vinyl? Is it like RVG wax vs Liberty-era reissue? I've bought Liberty-era and been perfectly content with the result but then again I don't have a special rig and don't actually "listen" to vinyl, I transfer to digital, clean up egregious pops and clicks, and enjoy on CDR.

Dmitry Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 In my experience, the six-eye Columbias are uniformly well-pressed, with high quality control, on top notch vinyl. I reflects across the genres, not just jazz, but classical as well. If I see a clean Columbia Masterworks stereo six-eye classical album, I buy it, because I know it'll be a delight to listen to. So, yes, it's not just the 'collector' instinct, but it also plays part, of course. I like the sturdy covers, well-printed artwork that was designed by talented professionals. So yeah, much like the Blue Notes, its; the whole package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) First spin of the new Resonance, copy #795. Considering the sound source, quite acceptable sonics, better than expected in fact and what seems to be an excellent pressing. Great music by this trio and the live atmosphere at Scott’s is well captured (). Recommended ! The trio were at Scott’s for a month during that stint and the cohesion and ease with the venue shows in the performance.
