Returned from a sunny spring walk & #NowListening to my latest find: #SonnyRollins With The #ModernJazzQuartet.
I’m a fan of Rollins, #ArtBlackey, & this period of #Prestige in general.
There are sections where this rocks, & Rollins really honks, but some of the ballads are really lovely. In A Sentimental Mood, in particular, stills the turning of the earth - if only for a moment.
This pressing by #OJC is flat, centred, clean, with enough dynamics.
Moving on from The Doors & #NowListening to #ArtBlackey & the Jazz Messengers #LiveInTokyo from the #TonePoet series. This is one of my favourite reissues from last year from one of my favourite ensembles: #WayneShorter, #BobbyTimmons, #JymieMerritt & the transcendent #LeeMorgan.
#BlueNote have again done a fantastic job with this, quality sleeve, booklet, clean flawless pressing, & dynamic mastering from #BernieGrundman. & the music incredible.
"...so go on and play, and if you make a mistake, make it loud so you won't make it next time "
Moanin, traccia tratta dall'omonimo album di Art Blackey and the Jazz Messengers prodotto dalla casa discografica Blue Note
