The Bit Parade
Listening Sessions A Success
• Our recent slate of vinyl LP (Vinyl Nights) and digital listening (The Bit Parade) sessions have been well attended, and we plan a steady stream of these extra, non-meeting events that are held at various member homes. The Adele - 30 180 gram double LP sessions and the Bit Parade multichannel playback of Leonard Benstein's Mahler 5th multichannel SACD were super — with in-depth listening and a lot of well-regarded discussion. We are adding others to the schedule. Some future sessions include Alan Parsons — Live In Colombia Blu-ray (hi-res multi-channel digital), Everist 45 RPM Vinyl Sibelius Violin Concerto; Wes Montgomery - A Day In The Life (CD); Dexter Gordon - Dexter Calling (Analog Productions 45 RPM); The Gin Blossoms - New Miserable Experience (2017 HQ remaster Vinyl); and a digital shoot out between 1950's Mercury Living Presence Stravinsky Firebird Suite vs. Stravinsky Firebird Suite on Telarc (late 1970s). Dates TBA.

CD-Of-The Month
• Here is a two-disc CD set that we think is worth buying: Tal Farlow Three Classic Albums Plus One (Avid Jazz). Tal Farlow was a very talented, influential Jazz guitarist. These albums are impeccably remastered in mono in this set. With the rapid fire array of notes and chord progressions that found him one of the most interesting from the great era of electric guitar Jazz. His Gibson ES-350 guitar with Charlie Christian pickup transmitted a gorgeous, rich, yet percussive, tone. John Gatski picked this set up for $12 plus shipping. Well worth it! Find it on On Ebay and Amazon.March 19
