Puttin' on Jack White "Fear of the Dawn" again after implementing some of my newest cleaning regimen.

@slaw

What Mingus album would any of you suggest for a beginner?

The BG-mastered are probably the best sounding, but pricey. A million pressings of this. I would say it’s a top20 all-time jazz classic:  You probably know "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" from Jeff Beck"...this is the OG.

Jack is such an interesting artist. IMO, "EHA" is more dynamic and open than "FOTD". These are impressions from just one listen. They are both great albums from a content perspective. I'd give "EHA" a solid 9.

Grand Funk Railroad - Caught in the Act.  This is an excellent live album, it rocks and is well recorded.

Joe Pass - For Django - Tone Poet - beautiful - Tone Poets are some, if not the best value in records 

@slaw Absolutely agree that Joshua Judges Ruth is a 9.5-10 musically, but I'm not convinced the vinyl sounds better than CD on a decent digital rig. When I play Church for visitors, it will be the digital version.

Anybody hear the vinyl of the other new Jack White, Entering Heaven Alive? Enjoyed it immensely via Qobuz, wondering about the SQ. Some great acoustic guitar there...great potential

Modest Mouse - This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About 

Reubent - Thank you for that reminder. Great album

6t5 - +1 for "Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Like Bad News". One of my favorite indie bands.
