Sonny Rollins' "Saxophone Colossus" my new Amazon LP recorded 6/22/56 in Hackensack, NJ and I can't stop playing it. Unbelievable fidelity thanks to the SL and Jolida JD9.
When I first got into Jazz 2 years ago that was one of the first things I bought, just because the vinyl was clean. It's since proven to be a keeper.

In the 1960s, jazz musicians signed to the Blue Note label often appeared on each other's albums in various all-star groupings. Then the tradition faded--at least until the late 1990s. New Directions revives the tradition, featuring several of Blue Note's brightest stars--vibraphonist Stefon Harris, pianist Jason Moran, tenor saxophonist Mark Shim, and (relative veteran and nominal group leader) alto saxophonist Greg Osby--reinterpreting classic material drawn from the Blue Note archives. While the choices lean toward the boogaloo side of the catalog--Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder," Horace Silver's "Song for My Father," Joe Henderson's "Recorda Me"--the arrangements are closer in the spirit to the cool cerebralism of Wayne Shorter. Moran is the most immediately original of the young players here; check for his inside-out solo on "Sidewinder" and the piano-vibes duet on Sam Rivers's "Beatrice." But the unsung heroes of the session are bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Waits, who play hot and cool, hip-hop and postbop, all in the same blue note. --Rick Mitchell
