Don't you love it when this happens?


I was just picking through a stack of records I hadn't listened to for a while and randomly pulled out Branford Marsalis' 1989 double album, "Trio Jeepy" featuring Jeff Tain Waits on Drums and Milt Hinton on Bass. A terrific record, well recorded, beautifully played, absolutely listenable, and just a pleasure to re-discover lying around in my own family room.

Years ago when Trio Jeepy was new, I was at Savant Audio near Princeton New Jersey for a audition of the ProAc Response 2. He played the CD on a Mod Squad CD player and an Eagle amp. That was the very first, and one of the only times I really heard sonic holography. The drum set sounded full size and three dimensional about six feet behind the speakers, and I could "hear" the floor in the studio. it was pretty amazing. I bought the CD, but I never really grew to love it. It is a great demo CD for sound.
Love "Jeepy". One of the best recorded acoustic bass LP's in my view. Very spontaneous feel for a studio album. I love the way Marsalis steps/swings away from the microphone occasionally--seems like the three of them are just having a blast. Some really good drum riffs too. Thanks for mentioning it I'm going downstairs to play it through.
"It's the record I always recommend when people says it makes no sense to have an LP sourced from a digital master."

Lyle Lovettes' Pontiac is the same way. I bought this used on a whim and now it's one of my favorite LP's.
Man how ironic, I was going through my records just tonight and came across Trio Jeepy and gave it a spin and was blown away by how good it sounds, I had forgot how great this record is. I couldn't remember the last time I listened to it, so I thought I would start a new thread about finding a lost treasures in your collection but then I found this thread, so I thought I would just add it.

Srwooten-
Now I'm going to have to dig out Lyle Lovette's Pontiac and give it a listen.
