but, to my delight, what I found as I walked through the differing syncopations, is that my taste in Jazz runs along the same lines as my taste in rock. Adderley’s huge alto sound is normally full of moxie, exuberance and celebration; there’s some of that here, but along the way he also follows the hints that Davis left, sketching passages of profound wistfulness and longing. Miles, as quoted in the original liner notes, recounted, "All my inspiration today comes from Ahmad Jamal, the Chicago pianist. Adderley’s band was as tight and compact as he was in stature, and it’s brilliant to hear on this record, the songs on which Miles Davis steps in, participating in like style and fashion, yet letting those signature Miles Davis elements shine through .

This high-definition formula also allows for the creation of cleaner grooves that are indistinguishable from the original lacquer. And then listen as bassist Sam Jones and drummer Art Blakey seize some of those stone-simple pianistic rejoinders and transform them into fuel for further agitation.Adderley and Davis bring contrasting approaches to the table yet sound of a singular mind on “Autumn Leaves,” with the latter’s muted trumpet and the headliner’s lush alto saxophone dovetailing into a performance that endures as a blueprint for expression, counterpoint, sophistication, fluidity, and linearity. Art Blakey will attest to that, so will Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Sara Vaughan, Dianh Washington, John Coltrane, Sergio Mendes, Wes Montgomery and Nancy Wilson . The removal of two steps of the plating process also reveals musical details and dynamics that would otherwise be lost due to the standard multi-step process. and while Jazz at first seems to control the environment, it didn’t take me long to adjust my seating, find my footing and slip into the groove, totally engulfed .

The Plastylite logo is stamped at a slight angle on the side 1 dead wax, so only the top of the logo is visible. I totally agree with others, a simple high quality gatefold cover would be much much better for presentation and the haptic overall. Developed by NEOTECH and RTI, MoFi SuperVinyl is the most exacting-to-specification vinyl compound ever devised. On side 2, it was stamped at a more extreme angle, causing a "dent" in the original master lacquer, and is even less recognizable.Also on the session is trumpeter Miles Davis in one of his handful of recording dates for Blue Note.

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab’s UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) technique bypasses generational losses inherent to the traditional three-step plating process by removing two steps: the production of father and mother plates, which are created to yield numerous stampers from each lacquer that is cut.

Never been one of the stronger SRXs and after spinning both over the last number of days the new Mofi One Step definitely relegates this to second tier. Extraordinarily expensive and extremely painstaking to produce, the special proprietary compound addresses two specific areas of improvement: noise floor reduction and enhanced groove definition. Julian’s forty seven year saxophone career was far to short, by the time he should have been hitting his stride, and shifting into high gear he was gone.

In the 1980s, the album was re-issued with a bonus track from the recording session that was listed as "Alison's Uncle" and credited to Cannonball Adderley. It’s the sound of a circuit being created in the moment, sprouting arms and branches and new directions as it travels around the bandstand. Housed in a deluxe slipcase, it features special foil-stamped jackets and faithful-to-the-original graphics that illuminate the splendour of the recording.MoFi SuperVinyl provides the closest approximation of what the label’s engineers hear in the mastering lab. Through the choices he makes about notes and accents and phrasing, he establishes the size of the canvas, the temperament of the tune.
