All of the Earth Records Bert releases are excellent on vinyl, and Crimson Moon is a late career favourite of mine.

Every review I have read has been extremely positive about the sound quality some of the best sounding records I own are digital remasters the Cadre Rouge Blue Note Grant Green I own is is on a par with the Tone Poet.
I’ve also heard that both the Charlie Parker and John Coltrane Craft releases are both excellent digital remasters.
I also have all of the OJC reissues included in the box set and also have an Analogue Productions copy of Relaxin so I do have lots to compare it to.

The boxset will be with me on Wednesday so I’ll not sit down with it until the weekend but of course I will post my opinion on the box set.

Cheers Bob be interested, btw I did get the Craft box set of the Charlie Parker Savoy 10". I like it a lot
Lanesra, congratulations!
You bought a fantastic album in my view, wonderfully and sensitively sung by Joan, who was ONLY NINETEEN years old when she recorded this in a room in a New York hotel.
I recently bought the remastered Vanguard CD from 2001, which also contains 3 unreleased tracks - sounds wonderful.

Yeah, yeah, yeah I know jazz funk can be pretty damn cheesy but this newly re-released vinyl hits the mark and might just change your mind. This was essentially the second Incognito album released in the early 80s under the name of The Warriors - largely because it was pretty uncommercial by comparison - and that’s a good thing methinks. Mostly instrumental, it is pretty adventurous and definitely has shades of Grand Wazoo-era Frank Zappa jazz (especially on The Warrior) and features a terrific horn section. If you like this you might also want to check out the releases by Citrus Sun - which is also Incognito by another name but far more jazzy.

Anouar Brahem, Blue Maqams. ECM LP.
Fellow Forum members who praised that album are right - the music is enthralling, the selection of musicians perfect and the SQ to die for. An unqualified gem. Thank you Naim for this Forum!

Just as I expected it, above digital reissue turned to be a dud.
I decided to take a chance on prior analog reissue.
Way better. Colours are back as if life has been breathed into the tunes.
I can hear Garner’s piano much clearer. This reissue also includes extra takes from the same sessions.
4 takes of Cool Blues. I get to hear Garner’s piano 4 times. 
Huge difference in timing. Liner notes say that Garner complained about blazing timing Parker kept. So they ended up recording extra with timing variations. I personally prefer breezy tempo, too.

Collecting these on the way home this afternoon.
Kind of an old to the new selection. Acoustic Sounds re issue of the lovely Trane album Ballads, followed by Blue Note Re:Imagined, double vinyl of Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia, Ezra Collective, Skinny Pelembe, Jorja Smith and a host of artists from the new British Jazz scene and beyond paying homage.

Tom Petty 9lp - Wildflowers & All the Rest. Ordered a while ago and been sent. I received the instant download this morning and just playing tracks now. The home recordings are particularly superb and the alternate version are brilliant. So many tracks. Miss Tom.
