Chad, those Louis and Duke albums are amazing. I got the old classics. If you can UHQR them... I can't even imagine the sound... Thanks for all your work on making your company, in my opinion, the best in reissuing.

@terrywho22 Месяц назад

Chad, please reissue Satchmo plays King Oliver again. Even 33 would be fine.

@errolfouquet7381 Месяц назад

+1 I would pre-order that today!

Really enjoyed “The Alternate Blues”, much better than expected 👍

@Kezleu Месяц назад

good evening ellington is one of the most beautiful albums that I can admire, fantastic album

@gregcain2942 Месяц назад

You are so right about Gene Ammons!! I first heard his music in the background at my neighborhood barbershop. The barbers were big fans of Jazz and that later influenced my musical tastes. all that jazz sounded so good at the barbershop and now sounds soo good on my turntable

@lukedermott1589 Месяц назад

Those Armstrong records are way overdue for re-issue.

@CJNooberson Месяц назад

Yep!

@CJNooberson Месяц назад

If he does reissue them I bet they won't be $40. Probably do them as $150 UHQRs.

@analoguecity3454 Месяц назад

Yes!

@VinylLatte Месяц назад

Would love to see the UHQR treatment.

@audiophileman7047 Месяц назад

You picked some truly truly great jazz albums, Chad! 😻 So many people are focused on the '50's and '60's small group jazz artists like Miles & Trane, but I'm so glad that you picked albums with people like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. They are absolutely extraordinary and are two of my very favorite artists out of any genre. 😻 You won't hear anything better than Armstrong playing West End Blues or Ellington performing live at Newport in '56! 😻

@SpyderTracks Месяц назад

Louis Armstrong is one of my favourite artists of all time, his work with Ella is just crazy good. Then of course James Brown. Would AP ever get a license for some of his records? I’ve just got the Sounds of QRP, and OMG, talk about demo quality!

@mattjohnson6227 Месяц назад

Kenny Burrell is great. Another great guitarist I don’t hear enough people talking about is Grant Green.

@washline Месяц назад

I played the three Gene Ammons AP records over the past two Sunday mornings, and I think I have another tenor to add to my list of favorites along with Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Don Byas, and Dexter Gordon. Very impressive indeed.

@garyrobinson8665 Месяц назад

My favourite is Ellington meets Hawkins. Killer record.

@rc2257 Месяц назад

I have all but two of these (and the 33 and 45 of Time Out). I can confirm that Chad's recommendations in this video are very solid. These are all gems - absolutely great music and exceptional SQ. I'd encourage folks to buy any of these that are in stock. (Of course, stream them first if you're not sure you'll enjoy the music.)

@markdecker2112 Месяц назад

Cant' go wrong with any of these. Looking forward to the new Pablo series.

@mikewinburn Месяц назад

Im delighted to be old enough to say i have most all of these titles - either in SACD or Tube Masterted Gold CDs from Acoustic Sounds (along with a couple from MobileFidelity) back in late 90s and early 2000s. I’d replace the CDs with SACDs if they were released :) Otherwise, these are all so incredible already… not going anywhere till i pass on… delighted to have them in my library.

@h.e.pennypacker1397 18 часов назад

I enjoy seeing recognition for “Francis A. and Edward K.” It’s an album that deserves more recognition but also suffers from some production issues which reflect themselves in the stereo mix (too many mics used, perhaps). Really wish a remix could be done but at least there are some mono (not fold-down) white label promos still out-and-about in the market, as they sound great overall.

@kentenglish8637 Месяц назад

My Favorites too, Chad; for longer than I can recall! Fremer turned me on to the Ellington Masterpieces about 10 years ago, it's still delightful, You and Stelly insisted I buy a copy of King Oliver 20 years ago. Glad to see you agree that these are timeless offerings, that every music aficionado should experience..

@acousticsoundsks 26 дней назад

Hi Kent! Very happy to see you watching our video and enjoying our recommendations. We always appreciate how helpful you are.

@Thejazzfan66 Месяц назад

I agree with the poster regarding Grant Green. I know that jazz critics and purists feel that Grant sold out with his music in the 70’s, but I really like that stuff(and I like his earlier music too)

@acousticsoundsks 26 дней назад

I love Idle Moments on Blue Note.

You got my wallet again Chad! 💸 Thanks for the recommendations.

@richardelliott8352 Месяц назад

my ego was gratified to find I own a couple of the recommended albums . but I don't kid myself, my collection was assembled randomly, so record advice from such a knowable person, to me, is like having John Muir giving me camping tips. one notable fact about the Ellington orchestra is that the sound of the band was passed down from player to player, the sound of the band wasn't just in the musical notation , it had to be learned from another humans understanding of how the band needed to play the sounds, with unique interpretation of the written notation, much like eccentric dancing is passed down.from dancer to dancer. I also greatly enjoy that the digital age allows me to get some idea of the presented material, so I am not just buying a stereo demonstration record, but something I will actually play.

@vcp93 Месяц назад

I just got "Alternative Blues", from the new Pablo reissues, and Chad isn't kidding. That's a killer, very holographic LP. Get it. 👽✌️ Hey Chad, when are you going to put out your favorite Free Jazz LP list? 🤭(Inside joke)

@saford13 Месяц назад

100% agree vcp93, ‘The Alternate Blues’ is a heater man, amazing! I plunged in for a Pablo subscription and was super happy to get in under 100 🍻 I’m #93, can’t wait for the next!

Please re license an re release the Satchmo plays King Oliver Chad!

@giantsteps69 Месяц назад

Thanks Chad! It’s amazing to think Louis Armstrongs first recording took place April 5, 1923! 😊

@tybym Месяц назад

Satchmo plays King Oliver would be a great candidate for an UHQR

@acousticsoundsks 26 дней назад

It's one of my favorite album.

@mnfv77 Месяц назад

Reissue Satchmo please

@russputin6294 Месяц назад

Tape hiss is part of the master. If the original tape's hissy, that should be reflected in the record. If the hiss is filtered or no-noised out then it's no longer a high fidelity record

@acousticsoundsks 26 дней назад

Agreed. A little tape hiss never bothered me, especially if it's a great sounding record.

@spicystick Месяц назад

Can you please reissue Satchmo Plays King Oliver. It’s way overdue

@CJNooberson Месяц назад

YAS!

@ScottWalker-uw3rp Месяц назад

I agree 100%!!!!!

@garycornell6433 Месяц назад

Some record lovers are missing out when they bypass many of these jazz artists ie. Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and Oscar Peterson! Everyone one of those records is “The Golden Age of Jazz recordings!”

Find the Mobile Fidelity lp. Picked it up years ago.

@acousticsoundsks 26 дней назад

I'm trying to get the license for these. It hasn't been easy. Classic Records did them, you might want to try to find those.

@vinylrules4838 26 дней назад

Yep, I picked up the MOFI lp decades ago. The MOFI CD is spectacular as well.

@chrislj2890 Месяц назад

Darn, I just got a six LP order from AS today and I wish I'd known about that Gene Ammons album because it sounds great on Apple Music. I also wish that Sinatra & Ellington was available because I'd order it in a heartbeat.

@manuelmachado9014 Месяц назад

Chad Kassem, thanks for your work, and why not something on vinyl from "Groove Note" and "Chesky Records"???

@acousticsoundsks 26 дней назад

Both of these labels have great sounding music, they could easily be in a top 20 list, but this was a top 10 list. I'm sure there's probably over 100 records that I could list.

@DC-xx4kv Месяц назад

Chad, comments ask you to repress ‘plays king Oliver. But no has asked. Do you have plans to repress? Thx.

@mpw116 Месяц назад

Can anyone recommend a cheap good sounding version greatest hits / you ain’t gonna…jelly roll / Satchmo? Been wanting that one for a long time but no dice. Even ordered from AP for $75 but they oversold.

@doodahdavesrecords4319 Месяц назад

Chad I don’t have Time Out when you going do a contest? Give away!

@acousticsoundsks 26 дней назад

You're right, we did.

@jonylawson73 Месяц назад

You can never disgaree with somones favourites however ...kind of an odd choice for a top 10...

@acousticsoundsks 26 дней назад

We picked these because they were great sounding. I know it's a lot of Ellington and I could've picked 90 other records that are great sounding, but these are the ones I chose that day and feel strongly that they are great sounding jazz albums. We did have a bit of a misleading title - "Chad Kassem's Top Favorite Jazz Albums" that doesn't sound right and it wasn't an accurate description. We've updated the title to be more accurate to what I was trying to showcase.
