Gerry Mulligan – Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster (Acoustic Sounds) 180g 1LP Gatefold Sleeve
This classic 1960 album by Mulligan, the Cool Jazz innovator, and Webster, the legendary Ellingtonian, is one for the ages. The tunes they recorded, from “Chelsea Bridge” to “Go Home”, are smooth, lush and emotional, driven along by a rhythm section of Jimmy Rowles, Leroy Vinnegar and Mel Lewis that swings with just the right amount of bop.
Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
Glanz B Series Tonearm
An old Japanese name but newly returned to the UK – This is the entry level ‘affordable’ Glanz B Series tonearm, available in 9″ and 10″ versions.
Like all Glanz tonearms, constructed mainly from stainless steel parts with astonishing build quality, and high effective mass (in the order of 30g, but Glanz do not quote a figure) to suit low compliance cartridges. Shipped with a quality tonearm cable.
Headshell is not included – any design with a ‘standard’ SME bayonet fitting is suitable.
Glanz S Series Tonearms
Glanz is an old Japanese name warmly welcomed back to the UK – this is the newly refreshed Glanz S Series tonearm, available in 9″, 10″ and 12″ versions.
Like all Glanz tonearms, constructed mainly from stainless steel parts with obsessive attention to resonance control, and now with an improved counterweight design.
This is, without exception, the finest tonearm that we have ever heard, and the physical quality is simply astonishing.
Effective mass is in the order of 30g, but Glanz do not quote a figure, so only suitable for genuinely low compliance cartridges (please call to discuss if you are unsure). Shipped with a Glanz MH-4S headshell and a tonearm cable..
