Disc 3, A Chip Off the Old Block: I am in love with this set.

David Friedman - Futures Passed (Enja, 1976)

Outstanding. Very ECM-ish. (Even the cover image.) ... When people talk about vibraphonists (which, admittedly, isn't very often; but I love the instrument), Friedman's name doesn't come up much. That said, I've enjoyed everything I've heard from him.  Exciting soloist. Interesting composer. What's not to like?!?!  ... Also, Harvie Swartz's bass playing here gets a gold star.

Prompted to listen to this by your post, Peter.  Sounds good!

Are you familiar with Levy's Tempus Fugue-It with the same trio?  It came out on Interplay in 1977. Another excellent record.

Disc 2: This expanded reissue has such deluxe packaging.  I was pretty shocked at how much care went into it.  The music and presentation are worth the premium price.

Music on that Armstrong is excellent as well!

Right now

Thelonious Monk "Monk's Dream" Mobile Fidelity SACD.

Did a brief comparison between this and the ORG SACD. Both sound good. I think I'll be letting the ORG go though.

[HutchFan]

Such jammy, fun music by such talented musicians. Never tire of this.

Is Gateway 2 as good as this one? For whatever reason, I've never heard it.

 

[jazzbo]

Hank Mobley "Soul Station" XRCD. Been a long time since I spun this one; last time it was the mono version on Platinum SHM-CD

[HutchFan]

Mike Westbrook - Citadel/Room 315 (RCA/Novus)

Yes, I have this one too. Both are good.
