Jazz for aficionados

Ain’t nothing wrong with anything Parts Connexion. That’s where I got my first custom built Duelund Dual (Double) Phono 12GA Wire Interconnects w/KLEI Absolute Harmony RCA Plugs, Duelund Dual (Double) 12GA Wire Interconnects w/KLEI Absolute Harmony RCA Plugs and Duelund Dual (Double) 12GA Speaker Wire in my early upgrade from ’stock’ years from Chris.

Alas, the tariffs have had an adverse effect with us yanks down here. And since Parts Connexion's is in Canada, we know it wasn't their fault. 

Those FURUTECH DPS-4.1 (OCC-DUC) 11AWG Power Cable and Furutech AC with the custom FI-50-NCF(R) IEC Female and Furutech AC FI-50M-NCF(R) Plug Male are excellent and don’t cost an arm and a leg.

@alexatpos, thanks for the music and where to get the link for the RYM list!

@tyray Parts Connexion/Audio Connexion are owned by Chris, an absolute gentleman knowledgeable in hifi and electronics.  He's helped me a lot.  In fact Chris introduced me to Accuphase and I bought all my Accuphase components and Klipsch LaScala AL5 speakers from him. He also made my custom Furutech power cord.  I'll only trade and buy through Chris. If you go to Audio Connexion you'll see my Google review.

Just listened to to the remastered (2024) Newport Rebels, by The Jazz Artists Guild.  it’s good.  It’s shot, 39 minutes, but good.

Windham Hill Records meets ECM

I know this thread is about JAZZ and you might know how much I like Bobo Stenson,  Tord Gustavsen,  Marcin Wasilewski etc, but these past few days I've been listening to Will Ackerman, Jeff Oster and Tom Eaton collaborating on the albums Flow, 7 Conversations and Brothers. And given my appreciation for acoustic textures and the "Nordic jazz"/ECM-style aesthetic, I find these albums resonant. They feature a delicate and intimate interplay between artists and a sound I particularly like.
