I almost forgot- some of the chatter before the songs adds to the picture of the recording. It’s utterly real and shows the room so to speak.
Great sounding 'newer' Jazz Recording from 2010
A quick note for folks to check out a great sounding traditional jazz record that I think was recorded in 2010.
It's John Lamb--Duke Ellington's bassist--playing in Toronto. Album is "Conversations North of the Border". It's on Tidal.
The album is, of course, recorded live in the studio.
I drop this note because I usually think my old jazz records from what I call the golden age (50s and early 60s) sound better than newer stuff, as the newer stuff sounds so sterile. This album sounds great. The music is above average but maybe not excellent. The sonics on my system are amazing. The bass, piano and drums sound so real. When the drummer hits a symbol it rings and sparkles on and on with stunning decay.
