Oh that's a great video! The 1978 concert is without drummer though. It's this one: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mXijhMQaLf1d_NF8NTnLmTcKx2HchUDA8

Thanks. I don't know that one, but I have to admit Joe Pass' guitar has never been my thing.

Is it this one?

I like Johnny Smith and Wes Montgomery, early George Benson more but I could check this out.

EDIT: OK, I may need to hear more of this. Seems like the same era.

It's one of the more chill recordings. Maybe Webster got him to slow down a bit hehe..

I was lucky and got it at a more reasonable price when it was first released.

Do you know The Paris Concert at Salle Pleyel 1978 with Joe Pass and NHØP. Absolutely amazing! Very different vibe, but in my opinion one of their best recordings.

Oooh, I'm a big Oscar Peterson fan, this is new to me so I looked it up.

Live Album "During This Time" By Oscar Peterson & Ben Webster has been recorded and filmed on 14th December 1972 at the NDR Jazzworkshop in Studio II, Hannover.

But oof, that's a pricy LP set.

Always reminds me of Sprite and cheesepuffs for some reason. Did you see they're releasing a 35 year anniversary edition of Sailing the Seas of Cheese with cheese-like liquid somehow encapsulated in the record?

Awesome record! Got to see them live a couple of years ago. Bashing Ryanair because of a massive delay, playing on 3 hours of sleep, DOMi using a camping toilet as a piano stool and still absolutely stunning performance!

One of my favorites

What an excellent use of electricity

Saw this live at Roseland NYC in ‘96. One of the best shows I ever saw.

I had never heard them until a friend turned me on to that live album they did with a metro symphony. truly cool stuff, esp what they pulled off in a live setting

Absolute classic.

I still hear Glory Box everywhere.

One of the greatest albums ever.

nice

“K” is the black version

Got to see them live in 2007 for their Alive tour, one of the best music experiences of my life. Incredible show.

Beautiful setup

No problem I tested it out so you don't need to!

Thank you for telling me that, I always wondered

I upgraded mine to a roughly hundred dollar matched pair and no I don't notice a difference.

Fosi Audio Box X2 Phono Tube Preamp is what I have. Why did you upgrade your tubes? Do you hear any difference?

I’m pretty sure it’s the same, I upgraded my vacuum tubes though.

Thanks! Do you have the same one? I've seen the pictures you post, and it looks similar.

Nice preamp.

We're walking in the air...

With the latest album I have a quite similar experience as you have. Feels like they’re showing off their technicall skills but forgot to make it aesthetically pleasing to listen to.

They kind of gave that away with the Rick Beato interview. When they wrote this album they primarily focused on notating and only started actually playing the music when it was time to record the album.

Sound quality seems to be related to the binaural microphone they used to record the album. Again: conceptually interesting but not especially nice to listen to.

Still love them though! Second album is often just over the top experimenting with a lot of breakthrough artists.

I have the same feelings for the new Raye album. Sheer fucking hubris 😁
