Cannonball Adderly - Know What I Mean


I just got the original jazz classics recording mastered by Kevin Grey at Cohearent Audio and pressed at RTI. What a beautiful sounding album. So pleased. As I’ve improved my system I’m getting into jazz. Everything is new music to me and ther is so much of it. Anyway, I highly recommend this recording!

Also explore the music of Gene Ammons. Gentle Jug.... Its a delight as is so much of his music.

 

@bigtwin  I bought it (Presto Music download with booklet $15) - thank you.  I was hesitant at first since samples sounded muddy, but it was only effect of strong compression.  Sound quality is very good and performance is fantastic.
 

@kijanki   Glad you like it.  It's always satisfying when someone follows up on a recommendation and likes what they hear.  Christian McBride has several terrific LPs of his own.  "Gettin' To It" is a personal favorite of mine.  Cheers.

@bigtwin  I listen to samples and I'm Gettin' It  

Not only good Jazz but super sound quality.  It sound like there is no compression at all.  Brass instruments have huge dynamics in treble.  Great performance and sound - thanks again.

I have few CDs with fantastic sound, showing that CD media is not a problem.  I can even understand need for some compression (for small speakers and nervous neighbors), but a lot of music is poorly recorded and/or mixed.  Digital recording brought a lot of problems.  With unlimited number of channels they placed microphones if front of almost every instrument in symphony orchestra resulting in poor sound.    Some instruments don't sound well that way.  I've read that cello start projecting sound to the back in certain frequency range (around 300Hz).  Over time numbers of microphones dropped and now they use only few (often just one).
I'm surprised, that older Jazz recordings sound so good in comparison to rock/pop music from the same years.
