John Gallup Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) As a terrible guitar player, I have a special appreciation of good ones like Jim Hall, whom I learned about by listening to Paul Desmond records. He did this record with Charlie Haden and I never seem to get tired of it. Here's one with renowned classical/bossa nova guitarist Laurindo Almeida and (equally renowned) jazz bassist Ray Brown. Both are on Tidal. And by the way it would be wonderful if Tidal and Roon had album numbers, even if they can't have liner notes for whatever legal reasons.

Steve Edwards Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I'm not familiar with Laurindo Almeida, but I know Ray Brown and I like bossa nova, so Moonlight Serenade looks like one I'll be checking out today. And yes, Jim Hall is a wonderful player. Play on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomicTime Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 yes, thank goodness for Tidal, etc so we can listen and gather some sense of it before making the significant $ investment…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkeske Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Two of my three LP’s of Monty Alexander on piano, Ray Brown on bass, and Herb Ellis on guitar arrived today. Awaiting Triple Treat II. Have Triple Treat III on CD, but also looking for a good copy on vinyl as well. The ‘Triple Treat’ series is highly recommended. I saw these guys in a nice small dinner club back in the mid-80’s, and it was wonderful. Brings back good memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Edwards Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I picked up Trio a while back, but have not got to know it yet. Some real talent in those names, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkeske Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 They are all pretty good Steve, but as far as SQ goes, none beat Ray Brown Trio 'Soular Energy' which I also just got on vinyl. That, is incredible. Pricey, but worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Edwards Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Roger that! I have the double 45 Analogue Productions version. Yes, just a stellar recording. In fact, I believe it’s one of Richard’s five reference recordings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomicTime Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Then there is this, I don’t have the 45 rpm, those are rare and $$$$, great sound at 33, 1/3 and affordable via Discogs. Also heard this at Stereo Unlimited… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gallup Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 Quote Thanks to Bruce at Stereo Unlimited who turned me on to this I was talking to Bruce last week and he told me he'd bought the ERC version of the "Everybody Digs Bill Evans" LP I was buying, and said he plays it on a Brinkmann turntable, of which he just happened to have an example on the counter. "I practice what I preach," he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctsooner Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I heard the series me and fell in love. I have heard the Trinity which is still freaking awesome. Only a handful in the US. I have a friend who I trust say Wadax is the best digital they have heard. Folks telling me to look at MSB Discrete with extra power supply. Auralic Vega G2.1 and Ayre are also I. The mix. Halo makes a great one for the price too. It all comes down to how they deal with the pre ringing that PCM has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
