Mingus Tijuana Moods (DXD) a s Sonically Spectacular

Tijuana Moods - Charlie Mingus

Had this album on vinyl for years. The DSD 256 file sounds so much better and really adds to the enjoyment of this album. Fantastic sounding effort.

Nice Spacious Atmospheric Sound

Tijuana Moods has a nice atmospheric sound. This must have been one of RCA's first stereo jazz recordings. It's been reissued on vinyl in various audiophile incarnations. It is considered an audiophile classic. I've never owned any of the vinyl versions, but compared to a cd rip the DSD version has more depth, a wider soundstage and richer detail. The cd rip sounds surprisingly good, which is a testament to the quality of the recording. The songs are all good, but not as stellar as on Mingus Ah Um. For those curious to see what the big deal about Mingus is, I would start with Mingus Ah Um and The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, as a first purchases and then branch out from there. For those into Mingus it's a must buy.
