Earl Klugh-Crazy For You Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Art Pepper And George Cables-Goin' Home Side 1 SQ Audiophile

The John Colianni Trio-Blues-O-Matic(CJ 367) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Chris Connor-Live Side 1 SQ*

Maynard Ferguson-Hollywood Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Joyce Collins Quartet-Moment To Moment Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Al Jarreau-This Time Side 2 SQ*

Zoot Sims-And The Gershwin Brothers Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Moving on from Valerie Joyce(CD) I kept the cool jazz theme. With 6/8 Audiophile SQ recordings provided a great evening of SQ and content! SQ* Connor/Jarreau were a notch below the others in SQ. Difficult picking an SQ winner tonight but Maynard takes the SQ Crown due to the recording being dynamic and relaxed simultaneously. Portuguese Love is one of the standout tracks on this overlooked recording.

A nice reissue by Rhino, now with a gatefold. The outer jacket looks like the original. Great SQ.
