JAZZ - THE THREAD

  Quote

Flim and the BB's recorded its second album, Tricycle, for DMP Digital Music Products, an audiophile record label started by Tom Jung. The album was the first non-classical recording to be released in compact disc format. It was recorded on the Mitsubishi X-80 digital audio recorder at Sound 80. The disc displayed the full dynamic range available in CDs, becoming a popular test disc for this reason. It was also the first jazz album to be recorded, mastered, and delivered in the digital domain. The recording chain, after the first few feet of microphone cable from the musicians' instruments, remained in the digital domain until it was decoded by the consumer's CD player. DMP's releases were for the most part recorded directly to two-tracks as opposed to the more common multi-track method. This means that there was minimal use of overdubs and the majority of the music was performed, recorded, and mixed "live" to the digital recorder.[2]

Best jazz album of the year?

I've been listening to this album a lot recently, one of his earlier albums, but still my favourite:

Call me old school, I dont care, I still think Kind of Blue is the best album of all time

and this is the best jazz video of all time

This thread is enormous so apologies if there are any repeats…

a spectre is haunting this forum—the spectre of pat metheny.

More Low key jazz without saxophone and Sweden delivers 
 

Finally got this on vinyl recently, just an astounding album. I don't think I've heard the fusion of African and Jazz sound so effortlessly cool and also laid back. Obviously heard bits and pieces from Ethiopiques and Jarmusch using some but the album sits together so well.
