jazzbo Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) The new SACD version of Miles Davis "Complete Live at Plugged Nickel" 8 cd box set from Japan, a Tower Records exclusive, arrived last night via DHL. I listened to disc 3 last night and am listening to disc 1. I know many of us were hoping that the tonal balance of this version would be improved. Well. . . I don't think that it really is. Listening to the SACD layer there are subtle improvements in the depth of the sound stage and some instances of dynamic contrast improved, but the overall "tone" of the music remains basically the same to my ears. I'm a bit challenged as I have been listening to the second (gold disc) Japanese version of this release for years and the separate 2 LP versions from Japan and in the "Complete" box that are based on the US Wilder remix. My copy of the original US box set is somewhere in my storage unit fifty miles away. When others get the set and compare directly there will be a moreo definitive comparison I am sure. Anyway: I love the music, and the subtle improvements SACD brings are nice to listen for and hear. Edited October 12, 2023 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Now spinning Hank Mobley - A Caddy For Daddy from the Mosaic box. I need something to lift up my spirits. I got a Covid booster yesterday, my first Moderna shot, and it's pretty much wiped me out. Next time I'll make sure to stick with the Pfizer shot, which hasn't really affected me at all over 4 shots.

HutchFan Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 Grant Green - Alive! (Blue Note, 1970) I think this album is the best of GG's funk-oriented phase. It was made at the Cliche Lounge in Newark. The you-are-there vibes add an extra dollop of oomph to the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) A record that's always astounding, no matter how often I play it: As heard on this set: 52 minutes ago, John Tapscott said: Good one! 16 minutes ago, Peter Friedman said: IMO, every one of those Blakey records as a sextet -- with Fuller added -- are awesome.
