I think the OP refers to collaborations that are not regular working bands, but groups of musicians assembled for special projects. In this case it's not difficult to understand why second efforts might be superior: the musicians are not as familiar with each other's styles as they would be as part of a long-standing collaboration, so a second effort would (almost by definition) be superior.
collaboration where sequel tops the original
In your opinion, share examples of where the second recording by a special collaboration of musicians and producers is better than a solid first effort? Here is my current example: Floratone II by Bill Frisell, Matt Chamberlain, Lee Townsend and Tucker Martine. Still groovy, but lighter on its feet with more twists and turns than their 2007 "freshman" effort. Super production level on both the first and the sequel. Highly recommended.
