? What Jazz Music Selection are you Listening to in the Now? | Analog, Digital ??????

Its interesting that on this site there is not much talk about music, or perhaps people are not interested in jazz.

There are jazz forums out there. I like this one: https://www.organissimo.org/forum/
There are probably others (with a younger crowd!)

@hopkins For many years now I post on Audiogon, mainly on jazz 'section', its a similar story. There, I think it is the jazz thread that has more 'views' than any other, contributions also, but mostly from less than dozen members in any given time. On the other hand, from info published by record companies, jazz sales are about 4% of all music sold, so I am not surprised. I do not want to sound pretentious, but I find it funny that many people are so preoccupied with 'sound' and gear and much less with music. Personally I see no point in 'hi fi' outside of classical or jazz (or unamplified music in general) Of course only imho, as its a 'free country'...

Marty Paich Quartet featuring Art Pepper, from 1956. Lyrical and swinging music, good sound as well.

This was just being discussed in another thread. There are many reasons why people are interested in hifi, and there will always be someone out there that will have more experience/knowledge in music, so it is all relative.

Are you referring to the sound of the video? Always good to know the version of any given album that is recommended.

@Rexp , No, I was talking about actual cd album that I have. Its published on V.S.O.P. records (10 cd tampa 28 from) 1989.
You can find all editions on Discogs site, check for master release.
Given the year its recorded and issued on cd, it sounds fine
