Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers “Roots & Herbs” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD

Are any of these new remasters a noticeable / substantial improvement? I got "Unity", and I liked its sound quite a bit better than the standard RVG, but that's about all I bothered to check.

In my opinion they are all consistently mastered. If you enjoy the sound of one you'll LIKELY enjoy the sound of any of them. That's all I will say--it's so diverse what one thinks is great and what another thinks is great. . . rooms, personal tastes, hearing, system components are all so different. I also have a very flexible system with settings on my power regenerator and a tubed EQ device. . . these allow me to really enjoy albums others don't. So. . . if you enjoy the differences with "Unity" you will likely enjoy the sound of other titles in the series. Their biggest fault imo is that they don't contain alternates or additional material.

 

Now playing

One of my favorite albums of the decade.

Some great playing with some horrible song choices.

Four For Trane, Primary, 1 of 8

I must get some more of the Impulse records. I have of course the late Coltranes and the 2 Ornette Coleman, and the one Mingus "Black Saint". Of course I also have some Pharoah Sanders on Impulse, but no Shepp or Ayler. I think I got to get into that too, since Shepp I only heard from the later 70´s on when he played swing and ballads instead of Free Jazz. 

Is this Shepp together with Trane ?

Red Garland “Swingin’ on the Korner–Live at the Keystone Korner” Elemental 2 cd set, disc 2

Strange I have only Garlands as a sideman on all those Prestige albums, and I think one or two under his name with name horn players like Trane or Donald Byrd or so......
I never had heard how he sound after his comeback in the late 70´s. But Philly Joe Jones means that no problem who is the others, it must be good. I´d say when I was younger and there were a lot of cheap Prestige records by european pressings, I´d buy anything thats round and has a hole in the middle, if it had Philly J.J. on drums.....

It´s strange, among the jazz buffs I grew up with, but also later after starting my own musical activities, until now if there is music talk among us guys.....the name Ramsey Lewis was never ever mentioned. He seems to be unknown to us hard core fans and active musicans. 
When I saw him at a late 80´s Jazz Festival at Wiesen, because he was on schedule, I still had never heard his name before, couldn´t even pronounce it as non american. I said "Ram Sai Leh wiss" . 
 

Well I saw it, I thought he has a nice tehnique on piano, maybe a bit too neatly, he had a group with unknown to me electric bass with two (!!!!!?????) necks , an unknown drummer and I think another instrument, a guitar or a percussion, but somehow after some minutes I didn´t really like it. It sounded a bit pseude classical, it had a more "concertant impact" that usually a jazz quartet has. 
And then there was an endless bass solo by a very very frightenig and angry looking double neck bass player.....

Starting off a warm Indian Summer morning with some MIngus interpretations. Nice! As an owner of a number of bass instruments I like bassist led sessions.

No, it's a pianoless group with Alan Shorter (flg), Roswell Rudd (tb), John Tchicai (as), Reggie Workman (b) and Charles Moffett (d)
