redwoodzz Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Came across this on Apple Music. I have Dionne Farris album Wild Seed Flower which has a great version of Blackbird on it that sounds great. But this due with Charlie Hunter sounds amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Goetz Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 As I mentioned back in December, I received this excellent one-step LP for Christmas. Beautifully produced with great clarity and a wide soundstage. I enjoy female vocalists and this is one of my very best!

I seriously need to acquire some additional selections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing what he’s accomplishing at the young ole age of 83…between him and Bob Weir (at 76), that’s well over 100 years of playing live music (noting both were playing live by the time they were 18/19 years old)👌👌 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStraw Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) My first “contact” with him (actually his manager) was a bit dubious….in 1982 at the ripe ole age of 17, my buddy (who was a “taper”) and I drove to the Maintenance Shop in Ames Iowa to see Jorma. Buddy had a small recorder and was recording show (probably 50 people in attendance), and somehow Jorma’s manager saw him at our table and literally smashed his recorder on the spot. He let us stay (we were kids, right🥴) for the entire show, and introduced us to Jorma after….turned out to be a very memorable evening 👌 Edited April 14 by JackStraw Add year 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, they all (I think I have 4) sound a little artificial in the “sparkle” that comes across. They sound impressive and detailed and …different but I’m not sure how natural they sound. I just received the new Analog Productions Atlantic 75th series 45 rpm version of this album so I will do a comparison between this and the new one and report back.

Todd - Thanks so much in advance for your compassion - i actually don’t have a lot of One-Step and don’t have a great OP of the subject album. My sense, and i believe @sbank might agree that w MoFi at least this particular album may have reached beyond the tape…. ? i am of course curious on your sonic thoughts about the AP version.

John Gallup Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) 2 hours ago, TomicTime said: RIP…. Saw Cohen in about 1974, when he was touring to promote "New Skin for the Old Ceremony," at a little club in Denver's Larimer Square called Ebbets Field. He had a small band and two or three women backup singers. When he explained before playing it that "Chelsea Hotel #2" was about Janis Joplin, it made you feel special for being there. Quote 🎶And I remember you well in Chelsea Hotel You were famous, your heart was a legend You told me again you preferred handsome men But for me, you would make an exception And clenching your fist for the ones like us Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty You fixed yourself, you said, "Well, never mind We are ugly but we have the music."🎶 Like every subsequent performance I've seen him give on teevee, he was totally professional, prepared and competent. He described himself at that show as "the man who depressed two generations," but I'm sure there're more than two now. How'd you like to have been a fly on the dock railing wherever this was taken?

Mike Goetz Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 The latest Impex 1-Step is Patricia Barber’s great live album “Companion.” I have all 5 Impex 1-Steps and they are all masterpieces. Once again Bernie Grundman did the mastering resulting in some great sonics and a “you are there” layout of instruments and voice. Dead quiet background. Great test for my Umami Blue and the 3A Sigs have never sounded better! Impex has got this one-step process figured out and does it better than anyone. Patricia Barber, “Companion,” Impex 1-Step, IMP 6053-1, 2 LP, 45 RPM. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKDad Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 In memory of Dickey Betts who passed away recently. For years - OK, decades - my main chase in home audio reproduction was to be able to play In Memory of Elizabeth Reed so that it sounded plausible. Eventually, I realized that no matter what system or car radio I played the song on, I cried just the same. There's a lesson there. You don't get that from studio recordings. At least, I do not. (Side note: Another pursuit has been to try to recreate Tommy as I remember it performed live way back. Yesterday was the 55th anniversary of the first live performance. I missed that one, but a couple years later I heard first hand why so many adults were terrified of rock and roll music...) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruskie Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Just watched a new PBS broadcast: The Swing Jazz of Eddie Durham. A nice listen to some great swing and very informative. I had no idea how much he shaped all those classic 1930s bands with his arrangements, and written from a guitarists perspective. Well worth the listen/watch.

Mike Goetz Posted Wednesday at 02:36 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:36 PM One-Step release by a very under appreciated singer, Lyn Stanley. Quiet vinyl that really shows off the one-step process. Quiet vinyl and great sonics that show off her silky smooth vocals. Lyn Stanley, Moonlight Sessions Volume 1, A.T. Music LLC #3105, 2LP, 45 RPM, One-Step Process Mastered by Bernie Grundman.
