The Bremen one is fine, that review refers to the Gesprächsfetzen & in Sommerhausen release

Got it. That streams too. Will give a listen

I've streamed In Sommerhausen a few weeks ago and thought it sounded great ... Probably helped that the music is so good... And, indeed, it would be super weird if this wasn't the same version as on the CD - but I'm fairly ignorant about audio matters so curious about everyone else's verdict

Listening to it now. It sounds just fine.

Ah. Thank you for the illumination.

Ah, now I understand your interest - you wrote this article https://www.allaboutjazz.com/ambrose-jackson-by-andrey-henkin

[Dub Modal]

Yeah, Sommerhausen is fine streaming. A little on the LOUD side but not problematic.

[JSngry]

@AndreyHenkin that was a most illuminating article. THank you!

I never had any problems with the sound of the original LPs so if they are indeed needle-drops from mint copies they should be okay.

That Jackson article is great, yes, been ages since I read it. I guess he lived right around where I am now.

@optatio@JSngry@clifford_thornton

What is not indicated in the article was that I interviewed Mr. Jackson while he was in hospice care and that he nearly died during the interview (and did a couple of days later).

[clifford_thornton]

Yikes.

[JSngry]

Oh my...

 

[optatio]

That's very sad ...

CD sounds fine to me. I wouldn't rule out a needle-drop (maybe the CD sound lacks a bit of "imaging", whatever that might be), but if so it wasn't a botched one.

Good point.

I find the ezz-thetics reissue program weird in several respects.

To be honest, I never thought of "to" in the inclusive sense, given that many of the packages prune tracks from the component albums. 🤔

Ended up with both and the sound is quite similar (not to say almost identical) to these ears... not great, but very much okay. Guess I'll pass on the ezz-thetics, as I already have a reissue of "Three for Shepp" (Impulse Master Edition or whatever that was called, bought around 25 years ago, I guess.

Ive been in a real Marion Brown mood last weeks so looking forward to this one.

Me too.

Last fall, I bought Three for Shepp, the Gesprachsfetzen/ In Sommerhausen, and Mary Ann/Bremen 1969 sets.

As if the ESP/Polydor records weren't good enough...wow, it gets better!

Sounds great, so I can't tell you if it's needle drop or not; but it sounds pretty fine to these ears.
