Tony, terrific album, I also managed to get it on vinyl from Musik Hug my favourite record shop in Zurich

Bill Evans Trio with Lee Konitz & Warne Marsh - Crosscurrents

Another of his late life recordings (1977) to my liking

Listening on vinyl (Fantasy F-9568, 1978), actually better resolution than the 1989/92 re-master available on Qobuz which sounds pretty compressed, I wish someone would release a decent re-master of this one!

Lee Konitz - Alto Sax
Warne Marsh - Tenor Sax
Bill Evans - Piano
Eddie Gomez - Bass
Eliot Zigmund - Drums

John Coltrane - Soultrane

The absolute saxophone master in a solid quartet formation

Recorded in 1958 (Prestige 7142), listening on vinyl (Japanese 1977 mono re-issue), open and dynamic

Looking forward to compare it to the Analogue Productions recent remaster/release

John Coltrane - Tenor Sax
Red Garland - Piano
Paul Chambers - Bass
Art Taylor - Drums

An evening with Coltrane, this album is sooo good

Listening to the CD this time, reading through the pamphlet I learned that the album was mastered in Montreux and this CD re-release was coordinated by Claude Nobs, the genius founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival

Try these two jazz albums both are on 180 gram and sound fantastic, the Brother Jack McDuff album has unbelievable dynamics.

Brother Jack McDuff- Moon Rappin'

Spyro Gyra- Vinyl Tap

Listening to the Acoustic Sounds re-issue on vinyl, great mastering by Chad Kassem & team

Wonderful encounter between 2 icons of different generations, playing mostly Duke's tunes, with a respectful Coltrane but we can feel the beginning of a more free spirit

Duke Ellington - Piano
John Coltrane - Tenor & Soprano Sax
Aaron Bell, Jimmy Garrison - Bass
Elvin Jones, Sam Woodyard - Drums

And another great Acoustic Sounds reissue on vinyl, Johnny Hartman is so life-like, amazing!
