CALLING ALL YAMAMOTO A-O11 2A3 OWENERS /

Is there a particular higher SQ edition of "Chet" CD that you know of to recommend? With quick research I did see the Orrin Keepnews' Collection with one bonus track. A "reissue" version had 5 bonus tracks.

Thank you Charles1dad. I purchased my Yamamoto amplifier through Venus audio. They are no longer in business. I guess if I want to purchase one of these fine musical instruments(the dac) I will have to deal directly with Shigeki.I would like to express immense gratitude to you for responding on a weekend.

Brett,
The version of "Chet" I have is the single bonus track .
Charles,

Fortapache,
Yes Venus audio is who I bought from, I could`nt recall the name, he was a nice guy.
Charles,

Totally agree with Charles 1 on his assessment of "Chet". I bought a vinyl copy a week ago and cannot get over how beautiful the trumpet sounds. It is as if Baker is somehow still breathing into his horn after he releases a note. Every phrase from his trumpet lofts into the air and suspends there as its meaning grows in relation to the previous phrase and the phrase he is about to play. Pepper Adams Bari sax is the perfect foil to Baker. The engineer added some reverb or perhaps the room they recorded in had a natural reverb. This adds to the richness.

An early must have is the Pacific Jazz Records two CD set of Gerry Mulligan Quartet. 42 tunes. Mulligan and Baker weave in and out of each other's musical space in a pleasing Bachian display of improvised counterpoint.
