Playing Coltrane's Ascension is always rewarding. This new Verve Vault complete 2LP set includes Editions I & II plus restorative edit, pressed at Optimal. Should I purge my OG Edition II (keeping the mono Edition I)? My review on eCoustics. #musicsky #jazzsky #jazz

I began collecting original vinyl in the 70s when I found they sounded & looked better than reissues. Much has changed & now I'm about to purge an OG Coltrane for this fine remaster. Why? My review on eCoustics (dot com) explains. #musicsky #jazzsky #music #jazz

I began collecting original LP pressings in the mid-70s when I realized reissues then sounded & looked bad. 50 years on, labels now deliver often outstanding recreations like this of 1st run issues challenging OGs. My eCoustics column explains. #musicsky #jazzsly

This is wonderful, but the technology exists for phone manufacturers to disable the speakers while in public spaces and that’s the real solution.

Tuesday begins with Prez, a fine new reissue of one of his last recordings which, counter to old critical spin is actually a sweet, perhaps bittersweet if you know Lester Young's story, listen. My review on eCoustics (dot com). #musicsky #jazzsky #jazz #music
