In Heavy Rotation::: ALBUM REVIEW: Does the sound take flight minus the August 2009 "Dynagroove" mastering? (reissue) Gil Melle Taken Ten Patterns In

Georgie Fame Speakers Corner/RCA LSP-2569 180g LP Cool Cat Blues New Audiophile Vinyl Produced by: George Avakian LPs Engineered by: Ray Hall Music for Torching All genres - Jazz, Blues, Mixed by: N/A Rock 140-Gram Vinyl & Iggy Pop Mastered by: Wilhem Makkee Raw Power Heavier! www.jazzloft.com Dan Auerbach Keep It Hid Review by: Michael Fremer 2005-10-01 Only Audiophile Vinyl John Hart John Hart LPs 180g, 200g, MFSL, New Gil Melle The title track is not twice as good as Desmond's surprise jazz “hit” “Take Five,” Japanese LPs From Patterns in Jazz immortalized on the Time Out album recorded with his regular band mates in the Brubeck £19.99 - Fast UK quartet, but it has its own serpentine charm, and having Jim Hall on guitar Delivery! Sings For Only the Lonely instead of Brubeck on gives the track a far different, more delicate texture. www.AudioAffair.co.uk/AudiophileLPs

The Ramones The cosmopolitan Connie Kay on drums is the perfect foil for Desmond's erudite sound- It's Alive especially when he's this well recorded and given a huge space to fill between the speakers. Jazz zusammen hören ZZ Top Finden Sie einen Fandango Desmond jokes in the 1963 liner notes that “bossa nova” should be called “boss antigua” musikbegeisterten Single, Diana Krall because of its quick success and rapid exposure. Nonetheless there are a number of nifty der Jazzkonzerte mag. The Look of Love “bossa novas” on this set, including the lilting “El Prince.” Those of you used to hearing ElitePartner.de/Partnersuche Kay swing stiffly in the MJQ will be surprised and gratified to hear him do the bossa In Heavy Rotation::: nova and lighten up a bit, though his snare shots are as polite and refined as Desmond's sax. Speaking of polite, perhaps in order to achieve a proper balance with Hall's hollow- Classical Records 2009 bodied light touch, Desmond's sax was captured more muted and recessed than on Columbia Brubeck albums. Berlin July Germany´s finest vinyl The combo of Hall left, Desmond right, with the section of Kay and Gene store top conditions, June Cherico (Gene Wright is on the title tune) dead center played out against the great moderate prices www.33rpm.de May Webster Hall acoustic makes this a most pleasant sounding set, more notable for its relaxed, high quality music making than for its adventurousness. April There was a time when finding original “black dog” Dynavgrooves was easy, but lately I March Rare Vinyl Records haven't seen too many. It wasn't expensive a few years ago but a gemm.com search Are You Looking For February turned up a mono copy for $84! In this case I'll take the stereo. Quality &Value More Than 18,000 Titles In January So how does Speakers Corner's reissue stack up to the original? It's a bit thicker and Stock heavier than the original, with some of the reverberant field behind the drums dried up, www.audiophileusa.com but that's compensated for by greater instrumental clarity and a far stronger bass line. Mostly it's very good, the weakest point being the lack of clarity in Hall's guitar, which occasionally sounds less like a hollow-bodied electric guitar and more like an electric piano. I know that sounds damning, but it's not that bad. I'm exaggerating to make a point.

In this case, as with some other “dog/Dynagrooves” the “Dynagroove” on the label and jacket were more marketing than anything else, and that's a good thing.

If you can't find an original for a reasonable price get it. Otherwise this reissue brings a popular jazz title from the sophisticated, swinging early '60's back to life quite nicely. Cognac sipping music for sure.
