#NowSpinning #Pre-Bird by #CharlesMingus. I’m an avid #Mingus fan & whilst this is some way from peak, I pleased to add this to my collection.
This is from the #AcousticSounds #Verve series, cut by #RyanKSmith from the original tapes - & it sounds incredible.
As always with AS, the jacket, the pressing, & the SQ are bang on.
#NowSpinning #SongsForDistingueLovers by the incomparable #BilleHoliday. This is probably my favourite of Holiday’s albums. This reissue from #AcousticSounds goes back to the Classic plates cut by #BernieGrundman. &, why not, this is dynamic, separation, & pin-drop crystal clear.
It’s such a great set: One for My Baby; Day In, Day Out, & Stars. Oh, & it features #BenWebster on sax.
John Coltrane - "A Love Supreme" (1965) (Analologue Productions Ultra Tape 2x reel tape)
Splurged a little for this one, a reel-to-reel all analog release. Sounds fabulous.

Guitarist replaces strings with rubber bands, releases “world’s first rubber metal song”
In a new video, a guitarist has replaced his strings with rubber bands and, surprisingly, the end result is pretty impressive.

First Milestones & I’m #NowPlaying #Ballads by #JohnColtrane. This, I think, is one of my favourite albums by Coltrane. The line up is incredible, & the playing just so soulful & so sweet. Generally, I incline to the more melodic pieces & anything post A Love Supreme tends to lose me.
This reissue, by #AcousticSounds, is cut by #RyanKSmith &, as one would expect, is very well done. High quality jackets, immaculately pressing, & beautifully mastered.
Sunday afternoon & first record of 2023 is #CharlesMingus, #TheBlackSaintAndTheSinnerLady.
I’ve turned into something of a Mingus nut with this replacing #AhUm as my favourite of his studio albums (although #TheClown runs close). I just love the huge swell & surge of the horns - reminds me of an unhinged Bernard Herrmann score.
Cut by #RyanKSmith for the #AcousticSounds #Impulse series this is rich, bombastic, with mad dynamics.
#NowListening to #BillEvans, Live at the Village Hall, cut by #RyanKSmith from the #AcousticSounds #Verve series. I’ve picked up all of the Evans 33s, & this, a gift from my bro, is, I think, my favourite to date.
There is some really beautiful & delicate playing, but, when it swings, it really swings. Throughout #ChuckIsraels really shines.
This, along with the #Riverside box set, & I’m turning into something of an Evans-fanboy.
