@rok2id, at the risk of being too much of a "fanboy" for The Sound Of Jazz," I have the BluRay version ripped to my music server in two flavors: one is a 2.5 gig MKV and one is a 22 gig BDMV file. It has more stuff than was on the Sound of Jazz LP, but I have to say that the sound quality is absolutely phenomenal. I also think that I successfully ripped just the audio track out in 24/96. If you want either one, PM me and I can send you a link to download it directly from my server . . . :)
@orpheus10 , you mentioned Jimmy Smith. I love his music. What about "Back at the Chicken Shack" in SACD? A great recording and great quality too! Has anyone mentioned Bill Evans Trio Live at the Village Vanguard in XRCD? There is just so much great jazz out there, this thread is causing me to go back through my collection and listen to some of the less "famous" choices, which is fantastic! And that is not even getting to the '70's!
