Are any of these in particular ones that you'd recommend?

[jazzbo]

Ahmad Jamal “The Complete Ahmad Jamal Trio Argo Sessions 1956-1962” discs V and V!

The mastering on this set excels that of any LP or cd of this material I have had before. The dynamics that Jamal plays with so skillfully are presented as accurately as the dynamics on almost any other recordings I have. Lovely sound that breathes and swings.

Bob Dylan "LIve at Budokan" Sony Blu-Spec CD2, disc 1

Thie Budokan concerts expanded is the next deluxe Dylan set to come in October so I wanted to revisit this release which is certainly far from my favorite Dylan to see if I am interested in this expensive upcoming set.

Not really. I admit I like listening to this more than I have in the past because my system sounds os much better. . .but. . .what I have is enough.

Another release from 1978. . . quite different.

Charles Mingus “Something Like a Bird” Atlantic cd from the “Changes” box set.

 

[jazzbo]

Theo Hill “Reality Check” cd

I bought this because Joel Ross was here on vibes. Nice quartet session.

[jazzbo]

Art Farmer Quartet (with Jim Hall) “From Sweden with Love–Live!” cd

Sound is pretty darned good. I’ve always loved the music from this Quartet.

Re jazz from Finland

Most groups are a bit "far ou#" for my taste. I prefer the west coast sound. The UMO orchestra is very modern in my ears (all 3 I have) so I didnt continue these.

Have a few more small groups but will give them a spin first before I can recommend anything.

Thanks for you Interest.

Unless there is some revelation of profundities I have completely missed, I too will pass on the next installment of the bootleg series.

Actually it's not the next installment of the Bootleg Series, but a Japanese brewed independent release adopted by Columbia/Sony for international release.

So, like the pack rat I am, I kept every "True Blue" catalog from Mosaic. I've decided to get rid of those, but I'm actually paging through them to see if there are any treasures I forgot to acquire at the time (a dangerous activity for my wallet, to be sure). I'm also seeing things I've had for a long time but haven't played in a while, like this one. Listening to disc 2.  BG may have had his problems as a leader and occasionally as a human being, but he was a great, great clarinetist, and he really loved the small groups.
