I have been traveling and working so much the last couple of years that I really have gotten behind in listening to new releases. So what has been released in the last year or so that is really well recorded and mastered? Time to get some new music.

Christel Alsos - "Closing The Distance"

Traveling Wilburys 3LP 180g reissue (both albums) Not a great recording but destroys the CD reissue in side by side comparison. it's a pretty good recording of two great albums

Dexter Gordon "Calling Dexter" Analogue productions 45rpm (great)

Rickie Lee Jones "its like This" 45rpm (verygood)

Madonna "American Life' (verygood)

Nat King Cole "After Midnight"
Taj Mahal "recycling the Blues & other related Stuff"
Stan Getz "The Best of two worlds"

These are some Japanese pressings on the Three Blind Mice (TBM) Jazz label they are all great pressings. I have a bunch but I will have to dig all the titles out for you and get back to you.

Of my recent finds, that new Levon Helm album sounds pretty darn good.
