#NowSpinning #Workin’ while #writing.

I do love Prestige #MilesDavis & It Never Entered My Mind is peak melancholy Miles.

This is the #Craft #OJC - great job by #BernieGrundman. The thing sounds sublime.

Saturday & I’m #writing while listening to this, a stone cold classic, Miles, Coltrane, Jones, Chambers, Garland: What’s not to love?

Chambers is a highlight for me. That ascending/descending bass on S’posin is just perfect for writing action.

This #OJC series is so well done. Yep, it’s at the dearer end (in the UK), but high quality jacket, flawless pressing, dynamic mastering, & top tier titles… What’s not to love?

& FWIW, Prestige #Miles is my favourite Miles.

We’re in such a good period right now for reasonably priced HQ #jazz reissues. The #craftrecordings #ojc reissues are really well done. I used to be pretty snobbish about reissues but I can’t deny how good these sound. #jazzrecords #nowplaying #billevans @vinylrecords

I remember buying #OJC records in the mid 1980s. It was an economical way to get out-of-print classics. Now, Craft Recordings is slowly releasing the catalog as a fairly premium audiophile product - remastered by Kevin Gray on 180 g - with a price of $39.

Records in 1985 cost about $7-$10. An inflation calculator tells me that's $19.85-$28.36 in today's dollars.

I understand the new series is higher quality, but I would love a non-premium option for $20 or $25. #vinyl #jazz

Early Friday finish, returned home to this & so I’m #NowSpinning #TheloniousMonk with #JohnColtrane from the all new #Craft reissue of the #OJC series &, on the basis of a first listen, it’s a beaut. High quality tip on jacket & reproduction of the original artwork, flawless pressing, incredible musicianship & playing which is delicate & wild, melodic & then inventive in turn.

This is cut by #KevinGray & so the SQ is bang on.

I do have the original #OJC & will compare - but I need to listen to this one a few more times first.

In terms of the music - I just love Miles Prestige stuff. And this, along with Relaxin’, is probably my favourite of this run. Although they are all indispensable, imo.

Did you also rush over to the Craft website hoping to see that the Kevin Gray #OJC reissues were going to be an economical way to pick up some #jazz classics on #vinyl?

Great food courtesy of #Yuzo, Chinatown, Manchester, & great company.

Now kicking back with friends, beer, & the delightful #Walkin’ with the #MilesDavis sextet & quartet.

Again, I’m just in love with these early Prestige recordings: nothing else quite swings like this. Add #HoraceSilver & #KennyClarke to the mix & it’s a win.

This is another #OJC & it’s both well priced & very well done. Life-like, vital, dynamic, with great tonality.

Returned from a sunny spring walk & #NowListening to my latest find: #SonnyRollins With The #ModernJazzQuartet.

I’m a fan of Rollins, #ArtBlackey, & this period of #Prestige in general.

There are sections where this rocks, & Rollins really honks, but some of the ballads are really lovely. In A Sentimental Mood, in particular, stills the turning of the earth - if only for a moment.

This pressing by #OJC is flat, centred, clean, with enough dynamics.

#NowPlaying #Workin’ by the #MilesDavis Quintet. This has just arrived - #OJC & NM - & so gets the first spin of the day.

This was a conspicuous gap in my Miles at Prestige collection. On a first listen, with no other version with which to compare, it sounds plenty good: clean, dynamic, & rich.

The jacket is light card, but the price was bang on. I’m assuming #AnalogueProductions will reissue this series ‘cos the secondary prices are insane.

Rare day off work & #NowPlaying #Cookin’ with the #MilesDavis Quintet.

I love these #Prestige recordings & the line up here is unbelievable: #JohnColtrane, #RedGarland, #PhillyJoeJones, & #PaulChambers.

This is from #OJC, likely cut from digital, but it really does sound good, particularly for the money. Despite the light weight card, the reproduction of that iconic sleeve is on point.

#Workin’ (OJC) arrives tomorrow to complete the series.

#NowListening to #jazz courtesy of #SonnyRollins, #WayOutWest. I love the #Prestige and #Contemporary stuff. For me, West is second only to #SaxophoneColossus: melodic, varied, great musicianship, & proper bite to it. In particular, I love the playing of #RayBrown here.

This 1988 #OJC pressing (I’m assuming it’s #AAA) sounds well rounded with the tone of the saxophone very natural & dynamic. My copy is clean, but there is a dramatic edgewarp on side A.
