Whats on your turntable tonight?

Linkoping: Love the music you've been playing!

Tonight we've been playing jazz:

Armstrong & Ellington: Recording Together for the First Time, Roulette SR52074 (Classic Records reissue)

Armstrong & Ellington: The Great Reunion, Roulette SR 52103 (Classic Records reissue)

Cannonball Adderley, with Bill Evans: Know What I Mean?, Riverside 9433 (45 rpm Analogue Productions reissue)

Coltrane: Ballads, Impulse AS 32 (Speakers Corner reissue)
.

Rushton, got both of those Arm&Ell recordings and they are truly energizing. Shows you just how good recording, equipment, technique, musicianship was. Makes one wonder what has happened since then. I guess one could also include Classic's dedication to restoration of music history.

Tonight it's Supertramp Paris. I found this original copy for $5.95 today at my favorite used store. Cleaned it up and it's a trip back 25 years. I'm convinced there was nothing wrong with tape and vinyl. It wasn't broke, so why did they "fix" it?

Stevecham, I agree with you about the Armstrong and Ellington LPs. The performances are wonderful: these musicians were clearly having fun in these recording sessions. And the sound quality is very good. Highly recommended.
