This was a great pairing between these artists, and the music is a nice blend between them without one trying to upstage the other. Streaming through Roon and pulled from Qobuz in CD quality.

Wow, woke up to 35 degrees and a day supposed to be in the forties. And a big arctic blast to come in the next few days. Winter. . . well, we're in it. Can be unpredictable. I remember when we got married nine years ago this February it was 63 degrees. That was fortunate as we were married outside on the dock by the lake!

Starting off with a familiar blast from the past to assess the recent LP playback changes.

Yes, "Tales from Topographic Oceans" Altantic 2 LP set, LP 2.

So I finally received my first pressing Japanese Import of the Empire Strikes back on vinyl. This album is absolutely dead silent and near perfect. This is a promo copy, which is released ahead of the main retail copies. This is as close to the original as you can get. The score is just amazing and really gives you an appreciation on the talent of John Williams. Even if you don’t like Star Wars….this is still a great album to listen to.

I know what it is like to find the ultimate version of a favored recording, congrats! (Though I'm not a Star Wars fan nor do I really like film music on record).

Starting off this COLD morning with the last cd I listened to yesterday. Gently intense music.

This album fascinates me whenever I put it on.

Alex Koo, Mark Turner & Mark Alessi “Apple Blue Sea Green”

Thanks Lon! Yes it’s a nice feeling. This will add to the collection of albums to play for those non audiophiles who come over and want to hear vinyl.

Just finished up work and off for the next few days while Jersey hits a deep freeze in the teens and single digits tonight. Enjoying this album from Hank Mobley. It’s been a while since I’ve listened to him, and this album is great. Currently Streaming in Roon.

Woke up to -11 degrees. I have to do a bit of running around today. . . going to be careful! Fiona the dachshund has decided she is NOT going out.

Listening to a cd that arrived yesterday from cdjapan, Chet Baker "Live in Japan 1986 Sendai VOL. 1" Timeless Records/Solid Records Japan cd

Sound is good, not great--sounds best to me with Phase "Reversed" on my DAC.

Another one in from cdjapan.

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers "Meet You At The Jazz Corner Of The World Vol.1" Blue Note Japan 24 bit by RVG SHM-CD 2023

The distortion on the master tape is a bit annoying. I have LP burns of the mono volumes that sound better (from the days when I was trading music cdrs with drummer Danny D'Imperio).
