Album of the Evening

[Musicophile]

The often jet lagged nights while traveling to Asia are made much more bearable with my travel kit of Dragonfly Red and Beyer T90 plus Qobuz. 

[The Computer Audiophile]

One of my favorite bands, The Hot Sardines. This is a 24/96 download from HD Tracks.

while still subdued, its livelier than most ECM and it sounds really good.  Cohen's trumpet is beguiling as usual...

I still find it amusing that Roon can't get the two Avishai Cohen's straight, especially as the other one is a bassist.

More vinyl acquisitions ..

 

 

 

I've decided to collect some of the Blue Note 75th Anniversary Vinyl Initiative reissues. I now have 8 of these releases, purchased new, and very happy with the sound quality of each. Not sure how many I'll end up with but so far I'm having a great time!

Really like this. 

[AudioDoctor]

I read a good write up about this album earlier today so I gave it a listen and liked it. It earned a spot in my library.

 

24/96 Qobuz stream.

Thanks for highlighting this one - a rather uncommon approach, but particularly involving.

It's morning, not evening where I live, but I'm celebrating the fact that Tidal has just added two true classics. The first is the obscure, but absolutely great 

 

Topology /  Makoto Terashita and Harold Land

This has just been reissued by BBE Music. I found it on Bandcamp, and I'll be buying it later today. Up to now the only way to hear it was from posted vinyl rips. By the way, the LP sells for a small fortune. The first track, “Dragon Dance” is fabulous.

 

The other album is 

 

Rhythm of Life / James Mason

This is a soul jazz classic. It's been reissued before (I think my cd is from 2000).

 

Both these albums are worth at least a listen if you’re a jazz fan.

 

[AudioDoctor]

For anyone going to go search for the above albums, I searched in ROON and both TIDAL and Qobuz have them both. So no matter which service you have you can enjoy them.

 

@ronfint thanks for the recommendation, enjoying Topology right now.

This was meant to be my full moon Album of the Evening.  Then I forgot to pull the wrapper off before taking an admittedly poor cell photo.  Blank spot on top left corner is a metal(?) plaque with DSD logo affixed to case.  Have not tried to play SACD layer to see if it exists.  Clipping does.

Wife is out of town visiting her sister this weekend, so you'd think I'd be blasting Metallica or something, but nope...

[AudioDoctor]

Fleetwood Mac, before they broke up and became a sucky pop band...

[Ralf11]

Thx I didn't know about that Fleetwood Mac album - I am still looking for a CD of The Early Years...

In-flight entertainment of the day.  

 

First impressions are very positive.

Enlightened audiophiles know reel on reel has only one alternative.  3.5" Midi disk recordings.

 

Just in case @The Computer Audiophile thought I was kidding him (and making a joke).  

 

 

 

OK, more seriously.  This recording of the centennial concert of America's first cathedral includes the newly renovated historic organ and some choral forces.
