My favorite so far is Ready for Freddie. It’s sounds incredible and I love the music.

Song for my Father was one of my favorites as well. The Duke Pearson also stood out to me, loved it. Thanks for the video Michael

[recordpirate]

Good video again :) Herbie Hancock Maiden Voyage and Dexter Gordon Go! are my favorite BN classics so far! Off-topic: who is looking forward to the next Acoustic Sounds Audiophile Vinyl Reissue Series, especially John Coltrane Crescent 🔥🔥🔥

[dank.]

Great choices! I too have been "lucky" quality-wise. All 7 titles I've bought have been flawless. They're musically and sonically fabulous. A real value on historic releases. Chicken Shack, Ready for Freddie, and Cool Struttin' are as cool as the other side of the pillow. The 1st batch is loaded with great choices.

I have eight out of the ten! I feel fortunate that these have been coming out just as I have been building my jazz vinyl collection

[tcr]

Lovin all my Classic Series so far. Looking forward to more releases!

I've loved the classic series and have bought them all thus far. I do think eight over two months is a bit much, but I'm sure I'll get them all. It's a good time to be a jazz vinyl lover.

Thank you for this….you have reinvented my interest in Jazz music…..self ordered three of your choices as an early Christmas Present to myself….

[MelindaMurphy]

I agree with these wonderful records. I am needing Blue Train. I hope it's coming soon. Take care.

[ergloo]

Hi, I've got 17 of these and all have been flat and silent vinyl, my favourites, Ready For Freddie, Go! and Cool Struttin

[marktracy]

Great list Michael. I must totally agree with your opinions on these Classic albums. I have all the BN 80th series and all but one of the classic series and they are fabulous recordings for sure. Kevin Gray has really knocked the later ones out the park. The 2nd batch I one see about 8-9 that Ill be getting. Keep up the great work Michael. I appreciate you my man.

Midnight Blue is one of my favorite. It was one of the first jazz albums that got me into jazz.

Midnight Blue and Go by Dexter Gordon

Would love to see an update on this - maybe Batch 2. Etc.

Also, would love to see an updated Tone poet Top 10, 15 or 20.
Lots of new releases in the last year.
Thanks Michael. Hello from NYC

[Mr.Lahey]

Hmm surprised to not see Speak no Evil on your list. I think that has been my fav of the series.

[altoids]

Yeah, my copy of “Moanin’” came out of the sleeve when I opened it looking rough, and I’ve heard similar stories from others.

But great list! Love that Horace Silver, especially.

Hi Michael, enjoyed this video! I have a couple of the titles you mentioned (Grant Green and Horace Silver) as I gradually build my jazz collection. There is just so much out there and every month there seems to be an ‘essential’ release but I am enjoying taking my time to pick these up! As an aside I wanted to thank you for always delivering your videos in the English language. It must increase the effort involved and doubtless there are times where you reach for a word and cannot find it, or would prefer to use German vocabulary to make your point. But your efforts to use English are truly appreciated and doubtless help you to reach a wider audience.

Thanx for the tips, i have made an order for 5 of those vinyls i didnt have in my collection

[D.E.E.P.Y.]

Agreed that they would easily sell a ton for the next batch is selected objectively and subjectively big titles that are not in these series: Blue Train, Empyrean Isles, Free for All, Let Freedom Ring, No Room for Sqaures, True Blue, Our Man in Paris, Mode for Joe etc. But at the same time I think they are worried that big volume will cause again QC issues at Optimal, so BN is playing safe now until plants can trully handle big capacity to make big sellers.

[ivanmaltoni]

Great review. Idle Moment is my favourite.

[Big-J-]

No issues with any of mine and I have them all. I also love them all. I am so happy with the classic series.
