Comment by Ben Leggett - December 20, 2024 (1 of 2)

I was curious to see how this mastering compared to UCGQ-9019 (which I also have) so I bought this one as well.

They are VERY close (unsurprisingly). This one is mastered a bit more loudly (but has identical DR to UCGQ-9019, except for one track where this release is a smidge better, so that isn't a bad thing in this case).

Either this or UCGQ-9019 are fine choices - you don't need both, so flip a coin and keep one.

Released November 2024 and a title in the [Blue Note 85th Anniversary Reissue Series Remastered by Kevin Gray]

Looks like it is Dsd'd from a 96kHz/24bit source though based on this from the CD Japan website.

"This is the latest reissue series of Blue Note, the most powerful jazz label in history, commemorating the 85th anniversary of its foundation. The latest remastering was done by Kevin Gray, an engineer who has also been a master of US Blue Note's analog reissue series such as "Tone Poet" and "Classic Vinyl." By using the 96kHz/24bit digital source material he created for the analog reissues, he has reproduced the sound of the original master tapes as faithfully as possible to achieve the ultimate analog sound."

It has the same remastering provenance as Dexter Gordon: Go#

And yes, it sounds very good to my ears too!
