Good one, jazzbo. Always fun to hear Shorty Baker in any context.  

 

 

NP:

Mal Waldron - Black Glory (Enja)
with Jimmy Woode & Pierre Favre.  

From the same June 1971 Domicile gig that produced Mal Waldron Plays the Blues.

IIRC, these were the first Enja recordings. If so, they got off to one helluva start.

I noticed this particular release has new remastering. The description over at CD Japan for the earlier Warner SHM-CDs from 2016 says "Features new remastering if it comes from Parlophone." Which artists/albums would that be? Wikipedia is not really helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parlophone

I hated the earlier Warner Japan jazz budget releases, but Warner can release great remasters when they want to. For example the Tim Buckley (SHM-)CDs exclusive to Tower Records Japan from earlier this decade, and Herbie Hancock:The Warner Bros. Years in the US.

I have been buying all the Basie and Joe Williams and Teagarden and Glenn and a few other discs in the new Warner series and rely like the mastering. Very clear and "quick" sounding. Nice frequency balance. I hope they continue with the Roulette and Roost and Jubilee catalogs!

[Bluesnik]

A perfect meeting of minds. With the 58 edition of the Messengers with Johnny Griffin, Bill Hardman and Spanky Debrest.
