Building a Sound Jazz Repertoire

[rockitman]

Don't sit on a picket fence while you are waiting for those tapes to arrive.

Yeah I know. I ordered a 6 pack subscription last January....still waiting for my last two...Sonny and Robert Cray. If you buy a studer and order tapes from them, based on the slow turnaround some caps in your deck could go bad by then...lol

I have an original i inherited from my father's collection many moons ago , unfortunately it was one of many he loaned out over the years and the surface noise is debilitating , i notice this repro is at 45rpm , i would prefer to get 33 ....

Regards ,

I don't have the reissue but have an original copy which sounds pretty good (not audiophile demo quality) and can be had for much less on Ebay...

Yeah , just afraid of buying an old surface noise LP From the bay ......!

Hey , notice how heavy the old stuff is , funny we pay xtra for such today ..

I can only speak from my experience, but the ORG reissues tend to be well recorded but noisy...

Here are a few of my choices which i enjoy out of my current jazz collection...which will pale in comparison to many here.

Piano
- Oscar Peterson: Night Train
- Thelonius Monk: Genius of Modern Music Vol 1 & 2

Female Vocals
- Ella Fitzgerald: Ella & Louis, Ella & Louis Again
- Billie Holiday: Distingue Lovers, Body & Soul
- Etta James

Horns & Sax
- Miles David: Kind of Blue
- Wayne Shorter: Speak No Evil
- John Coltrane: Blue Trane, Soul Train, My Favorite Things

Others
- Red Garland Trio or Red Garland Quintet: All Mornin' Long, Groovy
- Dexter Gordon: Go!, Our Man in Paris
- Stanley Turrentine: The Blue Hour, the Complete Sessions
- Lou Donaldson: Blues Walk
- David Brubeck: Time Out
- Freddie Hub: Hub-Tones
- Cannonball Adderly: Somethin Else
- Hank Mobley: Soul Station

Something a little different or more recent...still good music

I have this reissue and recommend it. I just finished listening to side D, to refresh myself on the surface noise issue someone brought up about ORG reissues. I detected no surface noise to speak of (I played it softly and then quite loudly). There is some very good sax playing on this album. If you like Astrud's singing, then you will enjoy this album. It is a live recording, so there is some tinkling of glassware and chatter, most noticeable between songs. The recording captures the essence of the room quite nicely.
