Whats on your turntable tonight?

Btw, that first Impex record, Kai & JJ, with Bill Evans on it is, well, it’s a favorite.  

@sbank 

Kai & JJ Baby!   Yeah, I have all of those except the Tom Waits.  I’ve heard it because I was curious but should revisit it with an open mind.  The Basie is great I agree.   So, do you know the work of Bill Watros?  I think I have all or nearly all his records.  Just love what he does.  Writes good charts too.   

All serious aside, I have a crazy number of trombone-featured records.  
@sbank what are some of your favorites? 

everyone knows trombone music is best for cartridge break-in!

Ha!   Ever notice how there are a dis-proportionate number of audiophiles who were/are trombone players.  @tomic601 included if I’m not mistaken.

cartridge is due here by fed ex tomorrow but with the holiday and annual post thanksgiving respite in Maui I probably won’t get it installed til mid December.   Timing not the best but I avoided a long wait by getting one that was available now.  Gives me something to look forward to.   

Pure Pleasure Record.  They sometimes don’t sound all that great but this one is really really nice.  Bright, percussive, tight.  All in good ways.  

John Gordon

Erotica Suite

Some terrific trombone music here.  

Marcin Wasilewski Trio

Live

If you’ve been interested to know about what shape Jazz chords have been taking this is representative.  

Thanks Steve. Thanks Greg. Something I’ve wanted to aspire to for awhile now under your influence.

The Danish String Quartet

Last Leaf

Yes Sir.  And I wanna know why more records can't get recorded this well.  Can you imagine if, just for example, the CSN couch album would have been made like this? 

Listening on Quad ESLs to this Chesky Recording of Amber Rubarth is pretty much a surround sound experience.  Soundstage is far out beyond the cement walls of the basement and all the way around to the sides and in back of my chair.  Fantastic.  

Joel, as you no doubt remember I have the AP SRV records all in a 33 box set that I absolutely treasure.  Never fail to amaze.  

Thanks Joel

Can anybody recommend a fairly accessible contact cleaner/enhancer?

@tomic601 

Degritter envy, is it wrong ?

Like a contagion.  You cannot be blamed.   

@slaw 

Jim, your post, made me realize my lack of the RSD lps...

Steve, did the link I sent you arrive too late?

@slaw 

happy birthday Steve

@noromance +1 on Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn.  
 

@bslon I’m actually amazed at how quiet most of my new orders turn out to be. There have been a couple bad ones though. Like when every tap of a tambourine is a squak of distortion. But overall I guess I have more optimistic expectations. Records continually amaze me. One thing I think helps is my Shibata stylus. It’s worse than an elyptical on big scratches or smudges, but I don’t get much clicking and popping from clean looking vinyl.

The George Shearing Trio-Breakin’ Out Side 2 SQ Audiophile

@dayglow , nice record.  Ray Brown on bass, right?   I don't think it has one of Shearing's collectible record jackets though.   I hope a-gon gets the browser fixed so I can post pics of some of my excellent George Shearing covers.  

@bslon +1 for So What. I never get tired of that record.

@slaw @Big_greg

Thanks for the good info on Harvest Moon.  Sounds frustrating Greg.  

Welcome back @dayglow 

Steve, I'm a big Andy Pratt fan from way back.   I saw him during a college visit north of Boston in '79.   I have two of his solo records but not "records are...".  I saw an album of his recently on the Audiophile USA email newsletter.   Was that the one and you snagged it?   Either way +1 for Andy.  
 

Thanks Greg. All I needed to hear.  

@big_greg how’s Harvest Moon? I mean, its remastered for vinyl from the CD, correct? 
 

@slaw,

didn't you post Harvest Moon too?  What do you think?
