The Horace Silver Quintet, Silver’s Serenade. Love Blue’s playing on this album, so good. You’re my boy, Blue! Also, I think this is the last classic quintet recording for Horace. 2024 BN worldwide stereo reissue, Tone Poet series. #bluenote #horacesilver #tonepoetseries #jazz #jazzonvinyl
Gene Ammons, The Happy Blues. 1982 OJC/Prestige USA mono reissue. Love this album, what a cast! Big h(orns) energy on all tracks. #prestigerecords #geneammons #jazz #jazzonvinyl #dagostino
Hank Mobley, Workout. 1962 Blue Note mono first pressing. My other copy, stereo reissue (2010 Analogue Productions), has a fantastic soundstage but this stereo fold definitely has a big pop to it. #bluenote #hankmobley #ortofon #techdas #jazzonvinyl
John Coltrane, My Favorite Things. Reissued in mono earlier this year by Rhino Records under the Rhino High Fidelity Series. Great sounding reissue. #rhinohighfidelity #johncoltrane #jazzonvinyl #myfavoritethings #monorecords
Jimmy Smith, The Sermon! On this cool, rainy day in the SATX, it feels like the perfect time for a cup of coffee and a focused listen to priest Jimmy and his eight acolytes, hallelujah! 1960 Blue Note USA mono reissue. #bluenote #jimmysmith #thesermon #ortofon #jazzonvinyl
Dizzy Reece, Blues In Trinity. 2025 Blue Note Tone Poet Series USA stereo reissue. Tremendous supporting cast and an interesting recording location for BN and RVG: Decca Studios in London (where Dizzy was based). #bluenote #tonepoetseries #dizzyreece #jazzonvinyl #dandagostino
Clark Terry with Thelonious Monk, In Orbit. 2024 Original Jazz Classics/Riverside USA mono reissue. Early morning spin, sweet album! #riversiderecords #originaljazzclassics #clarkterry #theloniousmonk #jazzonvinyl
Serge Chaloff, Blue Serge. Released last year by BN/Capital Records under the Tone Poet Series. I was not familiar with Chaloff’s playing until this BN reissue. Pretty sleek playing and an excellent support cast. #sergechaloff #tonepoetseries #bluenoterecords #jazzonvinyl #ortofon
Art Pepper, Getting Together! Day off spin, amazing supporting cast, amazing album. 2024 Craft Recordings/Contemporary Records WW stereo reissue. #artpepper #craftrecordings #jazzonvinyl #contemporaryrecords #techdas
Duke Pearson, Wahoo! All but one track is his composition, and this sextet lineup is nothing short of incredible. 2017 Music Matters USA stereo reissue, part of the BN The Definitive Vinyl Reissue Series. #dukepearson #musicmattersjazz #jazzonvinyl #jazz #techdas
Red Garland, Red Garland’s Piano. I have a few reissues of this phenomenal album by Red, but this evening I took my ‘57 mono first pressing for a spin. Reissues are quiet ‘n loud but ain’t nothin’ like the sound of the OG. #prestigerecords #rvg #redgarland #jazzonvinyl #techdas
Shelly Manne & His Men At The Black Hawk. Tremendous live performance by this ensemble. 2024 Craft Recordings/Contemporary Records stereo reissue, part of Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series. #shellymanne #theblackhawk #livejazz #craftrecordings #jazzonvinyl
