Bill Evans, Live at Art D’Lugoff’s Top Of the Gate, 2012 on Resonance

Another Sunday, another Bill Evan’s live LP from Resonance. This one was recorded October 23, 1968 in Greenwich Village. This time Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell join Evans.

This was recorded by Geoge Klabin himself, founder of the Rising Jazz Stars foundation and Resonance Records, as a 22 year old college student.

My copy—via a private sale—is the 2019 Record Store Day limited edition numbered release.

#NowSpinning #Workin’ while #writing.

I do love Prestige #MilesDavis & It Never Entered My Mind is peak melancholy Miles.

This is the #Craft #OJC - great job by #BernieGrundman. The thing sounds sublime.

#NowSpinning #Orang-Utan by the #IsaoSuzukiQuartet.

This, the latest #ThreeBlindMice rerelease is nigh on perfect: such brilliantly inventive & dynamic musicianship & the SQ is bang on. #BernieGrundman has done such a great job with this series to date.

Perfect listening while I rework the first section of my WIP.

Art Farmer, Portrait of Art Farmer, 1958 on Stereo Records

“Stereo Records” was a jazz label made by Contemporary Records in 1958 to push records made with the new-fangled stereo technology:

Stereophonic two-channel disc recording utilizing Westrex 45-45 “StereoDisc” cutting system. To be reproduced only with stereophonic cartridge. Warning: use of conventional monaural cartridge without sufficient vertical compliance may well result in damage to […]

#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.

I’m #NowSpinning #SonnyRollins & The Contemporary Leaders from #Craft’s recent #GoWest boxset - an all analogue retrospective of the classic #WayOutWest.

This is new to me, but is as melodic & swings nearly as hard as its sister album. Rollins is on top form & the addition of #BarneyKessel on guitar distinguishes it from his other albums in my collection.

In terms of SQ, this is another #BernieGrundman cut & it matches Way Out West.

Taking a short break from Glastonbury & #GoWest, the latest commemorative boxset from #Craft has arrived. & so I’m #NowSpinning #WayOutWest by #SonnyRollins.

For me, this is a top ten #jazz album: immaculate musicianship, toe-tappingly catchy compositions, & so much fun.

This is a AAA cut by #BernieGrundman & it easily beats my ‘80s OJC. Whisper-quiet vinyl, detailed, with tons of dynamics. I’ll listen to the other disks over the next few days.

Home after a hard day at work & so, naturally, I’m #NowSpinning #Relaxin’ with the #MilesDavis Quintet.

This is cut by #KevinGray for the #Prestige series by #AnalogueProductions & it’s a really close call between this & the recent Craft Small Batch one step cut by #BernieGrundman. I’m glad to have both, & most times incline towards the Craft - but the AP is smoother - which suits the music on a night like this :)
