Whats on your turntable tonight?

@bkeske Hey Brian. yeah. It’s nice. Pick up a used copy - don’t think you’d have to spend too much (unless you want an audiophile version...). I heard on YouTube today that the SQ on the CD isn’t nearly as good as the record.

i have to say, admit to some craziness, whenever I listen to Oscar Peterson (I also have that record with him and Louis Armstrong) I say to myself/find myself wishing that I could play like him.  People say to me that I play like this or that guy but I always dismiss any of that as ridiculous, which it is, but Oscar gets me whimsical and wishing I could really play like him.  Maybe because he makes it seem so effortless.  And of course because he’s so good. 

My first listen to "Love-In" was unremarkable. I'm currently giving it a deep clean. I feel like I can grow into it somewhat....maybe more. For SQ, 8 maybe? I'll get back after another listen and the deep clean.

Now the Count Basie is a whole different ball game. Love it! The dynamics, the air, the soundstage is super !

Count Basie "88 Basie Street" Pablo/1984

Even stronger that the above lp.

@slaw   well, you got the pp right?   the remix is better as far as SQ goes but probably still not up to a super high standard.  The music moves me though either way.  Maybe it should be saved for a loose, non-analytical mood.  
I mean, I love my Grand Funk Live Album but I need to be in the right mood for it.  Know what I mean?
