Great video Ken! All vinyl lovers should be grateful for Fremer, who kept the faith during the Digital Dark Ages 😃

Thank you Ken! This is great. Love these videos. Keep them coming!

another great video Ken, Michael is a great source of info. follow him all the time, thank you!

What a great informative video. Thank you all of you guys (& Ken), you're making the world a great place to live.

Love the Ellington find. I felt the same way when I pulled a 1950 copy of Charlie Parker - Bird Blows The Blues on Dial at Record Archive over Christmas. Crazy to own a prestine 70 year old piece of wax.

Another great interview, thanks. Also digging the new intro music and typography!

Really excellent Vid. You guys are a great combination. Fremer on vinyl with his humour and Ken with the extra pics shots and fill ins. Highly interesting. Highly entertaining. & Fremer just cracks me up. LOVE IT!

This stuff is fascinating Ken..... LUV it!!!

Soon as I heard smoke a joint I subscribed, I thought I was old to still do that but you made me feel comfortable thanks🤫

Thanh you very much. Such great perspective I appreciate you

Great video.....I love that 'Sugar' album

What a treat again. I like Fremer, Guttenberg, Micallef, great info all around, entertaining, funny, and very opinionated and sometimes hostile points of view. I'm learning a lot. My aunt was an au pair in NYC in 1963-1964, came back to Finland with a few records. Grant Green Am I blue (released June 1964 so probably the first pressing), Somethin' Else, Mongo Santamaria Watermelon Man, Ray Charles Recipe for Soul, Sinatra-Basie a historic musical first, Ella Mack the Knife, West Side Story, and something from Getz and Mulligan. All these records were lost in the early 90's.

I know Fremer is not everyone's taste, but the guy really is analog's great champion. He stuck with rekkids all those years when they were no longer "in." I thank him for that and always value his insights. Also, wow, a pre-RIAA microgroove record. I admit I did not entertain that possibility. I assumed the LP came along and everyone said, "Okay, gang, time to use one curve. No more of this 'every label has its own curve' nonsense we've gotten accustomed to with 78s" (and it's not even always 78 RPM). But I forgot that the LP was Columbia's baby while RCA had 45, and these two were competitors.

This video is an example of why we follow your channel and why Michael Fremer should be listened to. Thanks again. Could be a NYC/NJ thing?

Another great! Blues and the Abstract, 2 cover versions, the face cover is the 2nd , the first is the other one which i am lead to believe is an abstract photo of a Double Bass.

Ken, I think this one surely reserves at least a Part II or III. Please...

What a fantastic selection of music!

Another good one. Love Mikey's passion. I found an old copy of Forest Flower at one of my local joints a few weeks ago. Post-It said "G" which stands for NOT GOOD AT ALL!. I didn't know about the Speakers' Corner reissue... These are getting expensive to watch, Ken.

Great inserts Ken! I laughed!!!!

Hi Michael I have this vinyl for 2 years. it is a wonder. sold quite expensive but the quality edition. one of my 5 favorite vinyls

Great video, we love Michael Fremer!🙏🏻🎧

Thanks. Some awesome picks!

Always a treat to watch Michael

Listening to a great album with a join always great🤙🤙🤙

Love Michael's Duke LP and the story behind it. That is the way to find treasures; if it's that old and that interesting, buy it and you may very well be happily surprised.

Thank You. Much appreciated. I do wish you'd given your audience a small taste of the Ellington Masterpieces remastered recording for our edification. Honors and Respects.

Amazing records! Grazie

Just what we need to get our minds off all the virus talk. Thank You Ken ! You are King of the KZread world for me. Another classic..Keep it up 👍 😎

Good stuff, guys! I appreciate the recommendations. One thought, though? A list, in the notes with the video, would be nice. I went crazy for a few minutes, until I searched for “Stanley Turrentine, sugar,” rather than “Cree Taylor, sugar!” 😂 Many thanks! 👍👍

These Collab videos are top notch ! I wish you guys would stop leading everyone on to the Masterpieces record though. At least until I find one. 😂

YES. Another one.

'..smoke a joint, lay down a line..' right there with you

I love his turntables back there very nice 👍

Excellent work.

Ken interviewing Michael reminds me of in the 1980s PBS had a series about mythology with Bill Moyer interviewing the great Joseph Campbell. The two of you are onto something here.

Listening now on Amazon HD

I remember 78, a lot of great everlasting Rock and Roll.

Great video love the Turrentine on CTI. My stereo a vintage restored Marantz is a fricking time machine .Just saying .

Hi Michael and Ken, The Oliver Nelson “Blues and The Abstract Truth”, the Ampar release is the Original with the first cover. I had a chance to buy it and I researched that record to death and I slept on it and I kick myself every day for not buying it. I’m an avid collector and certain labels are my specialty, which are Bluenote, Impulse, Columbia, Cti and Black Saint, just to name a few. I own that Stanley Turrentine album that Michael is holding, great record. The older Cti have great sound quality and are still not expensive.

Excellent!

! All those Mosaic box sets. Only ever had the Tina Brooks set but had to sell it. Have a small but mighty (mighty small) collection but will never have everything I'd like to. Probably couldn't listen to what I already have in my lifetime so there you go.

Michael is just the fuckin' shit, a true champion of the vinyl record format and god bless him for being so.

Interesting albums, thanks! What an infinite collection you have, wonderful. Only vinyl listen?

Just Love Mikey's Love for Vinyl! He Brought Me Back To Vinyl after 30 years of Delusional Digital!....Great Video Ken!!

Was those speakers "wilson watt puppies "?

HI what was the opening piece of music? Thanks

The Ellington record really is fantastic, for two more early Columbia reissues try the Michel Legrand Jazz, and The Sound of Jazz, together that's three of my favourite records i'm likely to never see an original.

My lp 45pm Exelent album...

Record's are like time traveling to me personally! An ALL ANALOG record is like the recording is a stoppage of time! It does take me there literally In my mind! A hi resolution file cut record is really good, but it doesn't quite pull me into that time ( and that studio ) at that time the way An all analog cut record does! Hard to explain!

I have that Oliver Nelson album

Wait, so lacquers do turn to dust/ooze?

I actually have, and still use, a Dynaco SCA-80Q that was shown briefly during the Charles Lloyd segment. :)

Stephen Mead Ha ha ha!!! My first SCA-80Q was also a kit. My dad helped me build it (he was an amateur radio guy, knew how to read schematics and solder) - never had a problem with it, but eventually it died or something. My second one was a factory-built unit that a friend gave to me, works well ... within its limits.

Fremer is the best. Great interview. Hope this has many, many parts. Cheers! 👽🖖"Na-nu"

Great stuff... ABC launches Impulse!

"you rolling?" Lol

Mikey may need to upgrade his AD conversion. I have needle drops done at 24/96 by an audio buddy with an insane system. Sound identical to the LP played on the same system.

I love Michael, I really do, but just for my personal taste, I like what you play in the intros and between a LOT better than what Mr. Fremer recommends. I find that although I frigg'n LOVE the guy, his 'taste' in Jazz and everything really just does not match mine very closely. BUT... I really like what YOU play. MUCH MUCH more engaging! :D

👌

Michael is always entertaining, a funny guy with so much knowledge.

Vinyl is great, so is DSD.

And what the eff is the "Columbia Curve"? An explanation would have been helpful...

Hi mike! Jus off the cuff. This is personal.I know this is an analogue place. But there seems to be some well recorded CDs. My Favourite "Totem, Gabrielle Roth and the mirrors' by raven recording. My request is could you get Chad to check them out?If If, it is possible, could it be pressed, especially 45 rpm. Track 7 on that album is great! Tsk!

Does anybody know what music is playing at 6:45?

Ken Micallef Jazz Vinyl Audiophile. Let me see? Telling people that he can hear the difference between £$18000 and $30000 cable. Healing praise on equipment that manufacturers “lend” him for testing. Listening to his extremely expensive setup in a room that looks like a hobo lived in and expecting us to believe that he can pick out all the nuisances and highlights of that said equipment. Face it, you haven’t a leg to stand on. He is a major propagator of the lie that all these silly expensive bits and pieces really make a difference that he can discern. He is a 70 year old man and a self proclaimed expert. It is in his interest to spout this nonsense and you and those like you are either sicker enough to believe it or are in on the con.

It's soul/spock then.....🍁

I could never really get into the type of Jazz mentioned in this video, but now I know it’s because I never rolled a joint plus scotch. I was trying to listen to them while sober-silly me.
