I have many of Wes Montgomery sessions on CD. If you want perfection (whatever that is) I would say to try another website full of "50,000 dollar and above sound systems
Jazz for aficionados
Jazz for aficionados
I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

T.E.P. I ve got that album on cd, its a good one, however, you must decide is it worth it to you. Here is the link with the album,perhaps it might help.... https://youtu.be/ZX93pqnuXKI |
T.E.P. I am not a vinyl collector and own just a handful of LP’s one of which alex graciously donated to me. As such I never researched about the current modern methods of new vinyl pressings. I had some free time on my hands today and did a little research. I’m sure you know most of this stuff already being a vinyl aficionado. https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/whats-the-difference-between-150gram-180gram-200gram-vinyl.87... The following has reviews: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/wes-montgomery-wynton-kelly-smokin-in-seattle-resonance-recor... Of course your turntable, tone arm, and cartridge is a huge factor. Just out of curiosity what equipment are you using. I have seen reviews of quality turntables (Project) with Ortofon cartridges for under 500 dollars but obviously you could spend a lot more but does all that money make the audio so much better? BTW I just ordered the resonance CD issued at the same time as the LP. I will let you know if the audio on it is better then the same CD I bought many years ago from a different label. Anyway sorry for the rude answer earlier and good luck. |
