Listening to disc 1 of 5 now, “Chet Baker Sings: It Could Happen to You.” The sound of these new remasters is excellent, even in digital [emoji6]. I just put the vinyl set on my Christmas wish list.

Also listening Tony.
I love Chet Baker.
He's captivating each time.
Straightforward, accessible but never cheap.

These 24/192 files sound mighty fine indeed!

As the other big Chet Baker fan here, I figured you’d be onto this pretty quickly[emoji3]

More great trio jazz from Corea, McBride and Blade. We’ve seen them live a couple of times now, and the fun they have is contagious.

Tony, streaming it now via Qobuz (24/192).
Fantastic live double album!
The interplay is magical.
Corea always has great ideas, and McBride and Blade are fabulous too.
Sound is excellent.

Herbie Hancock Trio with Ron Carter & Tony Williams
Qobuz 24/44.1




A forgotten gem?
'Stereo', the German magazine recommends 4 of those every month.

Obviously these three have known each other since the playground days − almost at least… During the summer of 1977, the ex-virtuosos of Miles Davis’ Second Great Quintet locked themselves up in the Automatt, a studio in San Francisco, to remind those who may have forgotten how perfect their complicity could sound. These sessions gave birth to two albums: Third Plane with Milestone and Herbie Hancock Trio with Columbia. Same story five years later with a similar exercise released under the title Herbie Hancock Trio With Ron Carter & Tony Williams. Each of them included a personal theme (Dolphin Dance for Hancock, Slight Smile for Carter and Maison Goree for Williams) between two classics (Benny Golson’s Stable Mates and That Old Black Magic by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer), creating a particularly refined atmosphere. The three friends obviously put on hold their fusion/jazz-rock inclinations that had defined their music since the mid-1970s, and went back to a sort of velvety, woody-flavoured hard pop. The (new) revolution clearly wasn’t yet on the agenda. But robust swing and inspired improvisations clearly were! © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
