6 Jazz Originals That Sound Audiophile

These 6 jazz originals never got the audiophile treatment — no Tone Poet, no audiophile reissue — and they sound incredible. Great sounding originals every jazz vinyl collector should hear. If you love audiophile vinyl, jazz records, and vinyl records that belong in everybody's library, this one's for you. I'm breaking down sound, pressing details, overall musical quality and what to look for in the bins. IN THIS VIDEO: 1) Joe Farrell - Sonic Text – Contemporary Records 14002 (1980) 2) Joe Henderson - Relaxin' At Camarillo – Contemporary Records 14006 (1981) 3) Steps - Paradox Live At Seventh Avenue South – Better Days YF-7044-N (1982) 4) Pat Metheny Group - Still Life (Talking) – Geffen GHS 24145 Allied pressing (1987) 5) Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note: The Complete Recordings (1994) 6) Roy Eldridge / Dizzy Gillespie - Jazz Maturity – Pablo 2310-816. I don't mean a $150 reissue with a fancy jacket. I mean original pressings with presence, room sound, and that intimate acoustic you can hear — from Village Vanguard to Seventh Avenue South to some great studios with great mastering engineers, not to mention the musicianship displayed on these recordings. Which of these do you have? Which did I miss? Leave your thoughts and comments — I'd love to hear from you.
