Holy shit, I'm gonna be a pauper.
I really want all of those.

-Cannonball Adderley Quintet - In San Francisco - SACD hybrid (Fantasy) early 2004

A nice set. I like Adderley's early stuff, before he went into that "soul jazz" stuff (which is nice, too, but I know what I like).

- Kenny Burrell/John Coltrane - Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane - SACD hybrid (Fantasy) early 2004

I have the XRCD. Depending on how much I can get on e-bay, I may sell it on pick up the SACD.

- Miles Davis Quintet - Relaxin' - SACD hybrid (Fantasy) early 2004

Can't go wrong with this one. That would make three of the 5 Prestige sessions with this group available on SACD (along with Cookin' from Analogue Productions and Steamin' from Mo-Fi). Funny how they're all from different labels.

- Eric Dolphy - Out There - SACD hybrid (Fantasy) early 2004

Never heard this one. Dolphy's music is... interesting.

- Wynton Kelly Trio & Quartet - Kelly Blue - SACD hybrid (Fantasy) early 2004

Always been meaning to pick this up.

- Leo Kotke - 6- and 12-String Gutar - SACD hybrid (Fantasy) early 2004

Heard of him, never heard him.

- The Quintet (Parker/Gillespie/Powell/Mingus/Roach) - Jazz at Massey Hall - SACD hybrid (Fantasy) early 2004

Nice band, eh? I heard some of these boys can play a little.

The recording is real old and not very good sounding. Expect a lot of hiss and crackling.

- Art Pepper + Eleven - Modern Jazz Classics - SACD hybrid (Fantasy) early 2004

They sure like their Art Pepper, don't they?

- Sonny Rollins - Tenor Madness - SACD hybrid (Fantasy) early 2004

Ah yes, the infamous battle between Sonny and 'Trane. Gotta love it.

Speaking of Wynton Kelly Trio, the drummer was Jimmy Cobb, who'll I'll be (hopefully) seeing perform live tonight, so envy me. Boo-ya!

Great news about Relaxin' (hopefully Workin' and Miles will be in the next batch).

My one dissapointment is, where's Monk's Music? After Kind of Blue and Ole (Coltrane) it's probably my third favorite jazz album.

Really? I have to hear this one, sounds good and I don't know if I have heard it before.

[Mike Broadman]

Monk's Music is my favorite of Monk's Prestige albums.

Only one of Monk's pre-Columbia albums have been released in SACD, 5 By Monk By 5.

I remember reading something about Monk's album with Coltrane coming out on SACD. Is that going to happen or was I imagining things?

FYI, Workin' is available on XRCD, which I have. And the quintet's first album, The New Quinte, aka Miles, on DCC Gold.
