Blue Note Tone Poet Series

I just received my copy of the Stereo version of the “Blue Train” yesterday. Listened to the first LP twice already. Excellent pressing! Will check out the second LP (alternate takes) today. Highly recommend it. 

Agreed on stereo Blue Train. It might be one of the best Tone Poets so far. 

tablejockey,

'I play a big ol' Jazz box like Joe Pass. Being a LP devotee, I will always default to the record. BUT, having heard high level of both LP/digital I say BOTH can be breathtaking"

We are in agreement.  That does not address my wonder, however, at the fact that a digital source that is used to make a vinyl record can sound better than the digital source itself does. The original conversation was based on European records such as WaxTime that may have been sourced from digital masters, but now we also have the example of the MoFi controversy to back up this conversation.  I just don't understand it.  I know it to be true, but it doesn't make sense to me. To be clear I am not wondering about digital sound vs. analog sound per se.

Thank you for taking the time to post the videos. I haven't bought many of the Tone Poets but I think you've made a compelling case for the Joe Pass.
