I always low those three:
Miles Davis – Kind of Blue John Coltrane – A Love Supreme Pat Metheny Group – The Way Up
Especially the last one - improvising is a great thing when done professionally, and it draws on some inspiration from past legends which can be heard if one is listening intently enough |

Alex Machacek's 24 Tales. Technically brilliant, and wonderfully recorded. Very wide sound stage ...

ECM is widely recognized as having very high quality recordings

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

Many of Miles Davis' albums are quite well recorded, pick almost any studio album after 1955. "Kind of Blue", "Miles Smiles", "In A Silent Way", and "Bitches Brew" are excellent.
Dave Holland - "Prime Directive" and "Not for Nuthin", and John Coltrane - "Giant Steps" sound really good to my ears.
Fusion albums from the 70s like Return to Forever - "Romantic Warrior" or Herbie Hancock - "Headhunters", "Thrust" and "Man-Child" are almost perfect recording quality. 2000s fusion albums like John Scofield - "Uberjam", Hiromi - "Time Control", and Garaj Mahal - "Blueberry Cave" are excellent.

I was surprised at the sound quality to listen to a live album of King Crimson having been recorded by DAT (digital audio tape). However, the DAT is forgotten now by people. The old jazz record had the part that a master ring is vague, but good frequency will be included in vinyl than a CD. In any case I think that it is the most comfortable to experience live even if I purchased an expensive stereo system.

It is said that the company sent the sample to Manfred Eicher of ECM when a Japanese recordmaker releases an album of Paul Bley in old days. Because Manfred Eicher was a producer, Manfred Eicher noticed that a sample was different from a tape recording. The Japanese recordmaker seemed to try the correction of the range to let you release an album. The communication continued, but, as a result, the Japanese recordmaker got approval of ECM. Probably there will be the engineer editing an album freely like Teo Macero. However, the good collaborator understands the intention of the musician.

Amongst jazz records, I have always been impressed with the recording of "Money Jungle" (Ellington, Mingus, Roach) it sounds like they are right there in the room with you.

What album do you think is technically the best album recorded? Not necessarily the best performance (although that would be a big plus), but just a great recording. Now that I can actually hear what is recorded. I find myself listening to more technically well recorded albums. My listening tastes tends to lean towards people like Thelonious Monk and Charlie Parker, but I am trying to expand my horizons. |
