  Blue Note Jazz Recordings
Check out the RVG Collector Series from Blue Note. The RVG stands for the legendary recording engineer from Blue Note whos name is Rudy Van Gelder.

I have just picked up Midnight Blue by Kenny Burrell. Just a fabulous remaster of a great classic. The RVG Collection from Blue Note is worthy of every Jazz Library out there.

What RVG has been able to do with these old tapes and put them to 24 bit CDs is remarkable. There are now several offerings under the RVG logo and if the rest are anything like Midnight Blue, they must be special indeed. I know I will be looking for additional RVG titles for my Jazz Library.

Heres the link to Blue Note.

When it comes to jazz, it just doesn't get much better than Blue Note.

I have a question to the guys who have the vinyl version of these disks: how great a gap is there between the RVG remixes and vinyl with with a top quality player?

I really don't mean for this to devolve into a vinyl v. cd thread, but I'm curious as to the difference. I have loved these remixes and own over 50% of the library. I've sounded them against the Japanese TOCJ versions and found them crisper with no loss of liquidity.

As Ferrari says: these are great disks. Just want to know if they may be considered the high fidelity benchmark, or if vinyl still holds that title.

Best,
