Please a bit more about why Roon beats the Naim app.

Is it better, easier discovery of new to you music that you like?

I am listening to Art Blakey and the JMs at the moment - more than ever before - and throughly enjoying them.

None of my streaming devices are Naim so I can’t really answer your first question except to say the majority of streamer manufacturers seem to offer Roon capability.

Regarding your second question here are a couple of screen shoots showing part(s) of my home screen:

Roon is basically a one-stop music management platform from which to access, control and play all your digital music.
It organises your digital music library across various sources, cleans up your files and their metadata, and directs the music to all your Roon-compatible audio devices.

Everything you to need to know can be found here at Roon.

Hope this helps.

Appealing blend of pastoral jazz and reggae.

Soft Machine, Dew at Dawn.

This album seemed to have previously slipped through my net…

The Milestone RVG Remaster version has a bonus track The House I Live In.

Classic Rollins!

Streaming on Qobuz/Roon.

Enjoy

One of their latest releases and a very good one, if you’d ask me.

That had passed me bye as well.

Just after Clifford Brown and Richie Powell’s death so one might expect it to be a little low key.

Critical enthusiasm seems only warm but not every record can be magnificent.

The AAM review for this one is equally surreal. The bombing of Dresden during WW2 gets a mention. Bring back Scott Yannow or Ken Dryden.

The ‘Mosaic Singles’ was an excellent series, I have most of them. Shame they stopped doing them.

A little history and the reason I love jazz 1935/55. Wonderful swing bop mix ups from 1947. Post war enthusiasm and hope a’plenty.

Sir Charles,much under the influence of Basie joins forces with Bird,Dexter,Buck Clayton and on and on…
