Fair. Android Auto here. Works like a charm.
Welcome back!
Fwiw, I love Qobuz. Zero complaints. But I get the having competing family acct issues.
I've had Qobuz for a few years. I more recently got a Bluesound streamer. I'm in hd streaming heaven. With jazz it's ๐๐ค.

Great point here. Something perhaps I didn't realize. And that maybe there just isn't much they can do. I was expecting something more cleaned up, but nope. Or as you say, even as cleaned up as they are.
With the Sonny Rollins cameo no less.
Okay, so I think the mid-section - All Star quintet with Norvo and the impeccable Teddy Wilson - is the best of the three sets. Kind of an Ed Hall subbing into a Benny Goodman small group sound. Still lots of clicks and pops on the recording.
So ends my on the fly review as I listen. Carry on.
So far, disappointing. Some scratchy recordings. (Did I stumble onto the wrong release on Qobuz?) And the celeste on the opening five tracks is a bit much for my taste. Oh well.
Whoa. I gotta get on this.

I know it's only Tuesday, but it's been a long working day.
So a cheeky dark n' stormy & a double LP from Charlie Parker recorded live over a long, & definitely fun, weekend in 1950

Sorry I haven't been playing much this month. But still loving the game. โค๏ธ
Hear that. Qobuz and CD's for me.
Ugh. There are few things more depressing than society's willful enshitification of everything I love.
Thx for sharing the Gioia piece.
Ugh. #jazzsky
