Bandcamp is where it's at! (also sounds better than Tidal/Qobuz
Wait, what! You're recommending digital??Listening to the lovely series of live recordings that Paul Desmond made 50 years ago in Toronto on Mosaic records. Desmond’s playing was once famously described as smooth as a dry Martini. That’s exactly what this lovely limited edition CD box set sounds like.

Sure, I'm only pulling your leg.Hey, I have over 5000 CDs and SACDs in my house bought over a 40-year period! Even though vinyl still sounds superior to my ears (and live music blows away any recording I have ever heard on any system), that doesn’t imply I can’t enjoy digital. I do. Heck, I grew up listening to music on a shortwave radio! If you can enjoy music on a shortwave radio with all that AM radio interference, you can tolerate anything! In my life, I’ve listened to cassette tape, 8-track tape, open reel, VCR tape, and a gazillion other formats. As always, music comes first. In this case, I don’t have the vinyl release. A lot of Mosaic vinyl is unobtanium.

Anyone got this album? Sounds so much better than the version released by Capitol Records on streaming:
