Camel: Music Inspired By The Snow Goose | Kveld-Úlfr - May 16, 2026

Original 2011 SHM SA-CD title, using japanese masters (that were at the time of the album's release directly copied from the original UK master tapes). The 2016 SHM SA-CD ...

Lully: Amadis - Les Talens Lyriques, Christophe Rousset (stereo) | SACD-MAN (threerandot) - May 18, 2026

I am really discouraged to see so many labels ditching sacd. Does anyone have any details as to why this is happening? I find it hard to believe classical listeners are ...

Mahler: Symphonies 1–9 - Bychkov | Stephen Best - May 19, 2026

"Do we have any numbers or data about this shift?" Qobuz claims "over 240,000 Hi-Res albums across every genre" on their site. That's albums, not tracks. Like it or not, ...

Jackie McLean: Jackie's Bag

Analogue Productions  CBNJ 84051 SA

Stereo Hybrid

Jazz

Tina Brooks & Billy Mitchell (tenor saxes)
Donald Byrd & Blue Mitchell (trumpets)
Paul Chambers (bass)
Sonny Clark & Kenny Drew (pianos)
Philly Joe Jones & Art Taylor (drums)
Jackie McLean (alto sax)


In terms of composition, leadership and playing, this is probably Jackie McLean's greatest album, culled from two different sessions, separated by 20 months. A sextet session with Tina Brooks and Blue Mitchell.
