Blue Note Jazz Recordings

Thanks for the "heads up". I recently purchased one of the Horace Silver recordings, but was not aware of the scope of this RVG collection!

Am glad to see that they are releasing new RVG CDs.
And they are quite inexpensive too !

Most were recorded in his own house in New Jersey.
Talk about a career to die for !

A couple of classics that I'd highly recommend are

"Something Else" - Cannonball Adderly
"Blue Trane" - John Coltrane
"Go" - Dexter Gordon
"The Sidewinder" - Lee Morgan

Got lucky again found another RVG Blue Note Edition. This one is Thelonious Monk "Genius of Modern Music Volume 2." Originally recorded at WOR Studios on July 23 1951 and May 30 1952. Remastered by RVG 2002. All transfers from original lacquer discs to digital were made at 24 bit resolution. These are Mono recordings.

Do not let this put you off from getting this disc because it is Mono. This captures Thelonious Monk at the peak of his creativity and includes the rare and hard to find composition of "Four In One".

This is just a masterful job by RVG to put this to disc without loss of the original. Sound is marvelous and this is a very worthy addition to any serious Jazz library.

Very thankful that RVG and Blue Note are remastering and reissuing these timeless classics.

I have a question to the guys who have the vinyl version of these disks: how great a gap is there between the RVG remixes and vinyl with with a top quality player?

I really don't mean for this to devolve into a vinyl v. cd thread, but I'm curious as to the difference. I have loved these remixes and own over 50% of the library. I've sounded them against the Japanese TOCJ versions and found them crisper with no loss of liquidity.

As Ferrari says: these are great disks. Just want to know if they may be considered the high fidelity benchmark, or if vinyl still holds that title.

Best,
