After too long in the onboard phono input zone I finally upgraded to a proper phono stage. Pulled the trigger on the Darlington MM-6 a short bit ago based on the local raves round here and after some minor delay it showed up this AM.
I understand there is supposed to be some sort of break-in period but my goodness the combo of the upgrade and this 50th anniversary repressing is really hitting right now. Whew!
Ray Bryant Interview - 1990's
Hank Mobley Tribute/Documentary
Decided to dig out some cassettes today. The first one is a fantastic interview with pianist Ray Bryant where he discusses his life and music. There was a great part where he is asked if he ever hears from Sonny Rollins and he replies "Of course, I just received a postcard from him yesterday".
The second is a tribute/documentary on Hank Mobley recorded for what would be the anniversary of his passing.
