Jazz recommendations on lp

Mosaic has bax sets of most of Miles Davis' work. The LP's are wonderful; and the work ranges from his very early sessions with Coltrane and Gil Evans at Columbia, all the way through Bitches Brew....

You should not miss these.

thanks for the quick responses everyone
please keep them coming, i'm a music junkie, always need something new to listen to or hunt for.
btw, i love the blues even more than jazz but sadly most of my library is on cd. the vinyl hunt has begun...

The original 6-eye mono version of Miles Davis "Porgy & Bess" is amazing along with the new Classic Records "Kind of Blue" and "Sketches of Spain". The Blue Note original (or reissue) Eric Dolphy "Out To Lunch" and Cannonball Adderly "Somethin' Else" are simply amamzing. The "Original Jazz Classic (OJC)" pressings are great for the price, usually $9, the Blue Note reissues and Classic Records versions are always top quality. One thing I would reccomend to stay away from are those $10 Columbia reissues, ie Kind of Blue, Mingus' Ah Um, Brubeck's Time Out, etc. I think these pressings are a conspiracy by Sony (half joking) to make people think that LPs are not really better then cds. They are "180g virgin vinyl, from analog tapes" but they sound like they are from 5th generation mix tapes pressed with most worn out stamper they could find. Nothing like the 40 year old original pressings, which in my opinion are unrivaled.

My favorite Bill Evans LP set is The Village Vanguard sessions released exclusively on Mosaic. This was the last recording Bill made before his death. The passion and introspective playing on this multi album set is the finest jazz piano performance since "Waltz for Debbie."

I agree with the responses on this thread, except for Marakanetz. I seldom ( if ever ) disagree with his point of view. However, I own all the original Doors releases as well as the new DCC represses.

My original recordings are dead quiet, equal to the new DCC. However, Jim Morrison's voice is more intense detailed and dynamic on the originals. The drums are cleaner and faster on the original, with micro detail that escapes the repress. The DCC is warmer, ( which can be nice ) particularly the mid bass. I attribute this to the tubes used in the DCC remastering and pressings.

If you do not own any copies of the Doors, and have an opportunity to buy DCC pressing in sealed or perfect condition, do it!

I am just saying that the original LP, pressed when the tape was 30 years younger, possesses certain characteristics that are absent in the new pressings.

Dizzy Gillespie: "Swing Low Sweet Cadillac" on Impulse is very nice, if you can find it. By the way, you can often hear immense differences between original pressings and reissues and the reissues are not always automatically better. Cheers
