Some great music you list there mike
Can I ask about the remastering, where did You gleen Ron McMaster remasters were better?
I have always had the understanding that Rudy Van Gelder remasters , later, were where it’s at.
After all if anyone should know how that music was to be presented, it would have been RVG, the chap who originally recorded the sessions?
IMHO the early CD masters of the late 80s on Blue Note were pretty poor. Hence later the massive task Blue note undertook in persuading RVG to remasters vast amount of the Blue Note catalogue.
I know some of the RVGs are criticised for being overly bright but I think it’s a title by title thing.
Some are good some not so. Rudy had good gears though.
