The CD is maddeningly inconsistent - volume levels can fluctuate wildly, even within tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The organ seemed to fluctuate between being too low to loud on the first side. I found it sounded better when I turned it up pretty loud when listening to the second side.

Hard to go wrong with Bags and a program of the Blues. I think you'd dig it. Nice playing from Vinson too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Now spinning: Dick Wellstood - Live at Hanratty's (Chaz Jazz, 1981) Believe it or not, this 2-LP set opens with a ruminative and inward version of "Jingle Bells" -- a description that one wouldn't usually associate with that song! Otherwise, there's a raft of Fats Waller-associated tunes. But Wellstood again does his own thing with them. It's all good fun -- and living music through tunes that happen to be old.

Ok, now I don't know whether or not to go for a CD or insist on a LP. Pretty much everybody's Digital was thin sounding in those days...clean but thin...but if Pablo put an analog layer in it for the LP that they did not for the CD, then the LP would be my choice.

It's definitely possible that the LP sounds better. The version that I found in the shop happened to be semi-translucent red vinyl. I think this may be the ONLY colored vinyl in my entire collection. Not certain. But I don't recall any others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an owner of the CD I'd rec trying the LP first. Edit to add, if you're interested, message me and I'll send a track so you can hear it. 14 minutes ago, HutchFan said: It's definitely possible that the LP sounds better.

Now playing - William Parker - Petit Oiseau (Shortwave Records/Aum). Undecided on that one. Have far too many versions (including an orig) already. One of my favourite versions is the UK domestic issue from 1976 which came with a US sleeve. Bust a gut with my School Summer hol job carting sacks of cement to afford that one !
