Sonny Rollins - Way Out West
Qobuz 24/192
Just rereleased on Qobuz.
I compared with my CD, which was a recent remaster, and the difference is enormous.
The stream wins on all aspects, with a wide margin.
Shocking...
I don't know what they did, but this 61 year old recording sounds freakin' great!!

You are streaming 192?
That is what my app tells me, yes.
For the moment still via a cheapo Yamaha streamer, but it already sounds great (and often better than my CD version through the same DAC).
Joey Baron - Bram De Looze - Robin Verheyen - Mixmonk
Signed CD
(Also available on LP)
We attended a concert with these 3 masters of jazz yesterday.
An event that easily comes in my top 10 of jazz concerts ever.
All three had original ideas in abundance.
Never a dull moment.
Joey always smiling while doing his magic, attentive.
Bram, a youngster still, but oh so intelligent. Check his albums on Tidal or Qobuz.
Robin, brilliant in building up his lines.

Agree.
Count Basie - King of Swing
Oh yeah, it swings!
I'm listening to a high quality CD pressing, but I liked the Qobuz comment:
Following a brief lull earlier in the 1950s, Count Basie had rebuilt his big band by the time of this trio of studio sessions originally recorded for Clef. Among the musicians present on one or more of the dates are trumpeters Joe Newman, Joe Wilder, and Thad Jones and a reed section with Marshall Royal, Frank Foster, Frank Wess, and Ernie Wilkins, along with a dependable rhythm section anchored by Basie's longtime rhythm guitarist, Freddie Green. While none of the numbers seemed to stay in the band book for all that long, the consistently swinging performances and tasty solos make this worth the attention of swing fans. ~ Ken Dryden

This came as a recommendation in the German magazine "Stereo" this month.
It is an evocation of Buddy Bolden's jazz era.
Well done! :thumbsup:
Bolden
Music from the original soundtrack by Wynton Marsalis
Qobuz 24/96
Has anybody seen this movie?
I'm curious to find out more about it!

Bobby Hutcherson - Dialogue
Since I saw Hutcherson live in the 80s, I've been a big fan.
This is a milestone album.
I'm listening to the CD, but want to share the Qobuz comment:
Coming fresh on the heels of his groundbreaking work with Eric Dolphy, Bobby Hutcherson's debut album is a masterpiece of "new thing" avant-garde jazz, not really free but way beyond standard hard bop. Dialogue boasts an all-star lineup of hot young post-boppers -- trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, woodwind player Sam Rivers, pianist Andrew Hill, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Joe Chambers -- and a set of imaginative compositions by either Hill or Chambers that frequently push the ensemble into uncharted territory. The result is an album bursting at the seams with ideas that still sound remarkably fresh, not to mention a strong sense of collectivity. Hutcherson has so many fine players on hand that the focus is naturally on group interaction rather than any particular soloist(s), setting up nice contrasts like the fiery sax work of Rivers versus the cooler tones of Hutcherson and Hill. Hill's pieces stand tradition on its head, twisting recognizable foundations like the blues ("Ghetto Lights"), Latin jazz ("Catta"), and marching bands ("Les Noirs Marchant," which sounds like a parade of mutant soldiers) into cerebral, angular shapes. Chambers, meanwhile, contributes the most loosely structured pieces in his delicate, softly mysterious ballad "Idle While" and the nearly free group conversations of the ten-minute title track, where Hutcherson also plays the more African-sounding marimba. What's impressive is how focused Hutcherson keeps the group through those widely varied sounds; no one is shortchanged, yet the solos are tight, with no wasted space or spotlight-hogging. Dialogue remains Hutcherson's most adventurous, "outside" album, and while there are more extensive showcases for his playing, this high-caliber session stands as arguably his greatest musical achievement. ~ Steve Huey

My favorite vibraphonist. Thanks for posting.
