Only 128 kbps but very nice jazz music and good sound quality, and no commercials.

Donations for Premium Plus are tax-deductible in some jurisdictions, and the stream is lossless FLAC. Unfortunately, I am fairly sure their hi-res stream can’t be played in Roon.
UPDATE: I’ve been able to play the higher-res FLAC files now through a Chrome browser, but regrettably not yet through Roon. Fingers crossed the JG support staff is able to help me get this resolved. I like supporting them, but I don’t generally like browser-based listening.

I’m a big fan of the live radio streams that are available on Roon and have quite a few jazz stations from around the world as favorites. If one gets too “free form hardcore hectic” (@T38.45 ) I just switch to another ; )
If you have a jazz or piano jazz favorite pls lmk!

I think you can play The Jazz Groove Premium Plus with Roon, looking at their website there is instructions to do that. And also in Aurender, Marantz , Heos,Apple, Android, and others, but not directly with dCS…something maybe for next Mosaic version ?
Yeah, JG team is giving me good support, along with colleagues at the Roon community. I’ve almost got it solved. Slightly flaky but worth the effort.
I own the SACD and it sounds superb.

Ah, fond memories of the 1970’s when I first heard (and was enamoured by) this album.
Life was very different at that time (in my case, the innocence/ignorance of youth)…

Likewise Jonathan. Good, sometimes unfamiliar, memories. Now this disc does not sound anything like that old LP of mine. MoFi did a superb job.

Hitherto, I’ve not bought any SACD’s (as I don’t have the requisite disk spinner), although I have invested quite heavily in various DSD downloads (principally jazz/classical).
Do you you know whether or not this MoFi SACD version is also available as a download?
It’s not available as a download. But it’s playable on a CD player, and rippable in Redbook on any computer. And as we’ve discussed elsewhere, for about $50 and a little time, you can be ripping the SACD layer as well.

Thanks. I may well decide to go for it, and rip it (the red book, and possibly the SACD layer too)…

I would strongly recommend people to try SACD ripping. The DVD players required can be easily found these days and the process is relatively simple.

Found this one today on Qobuz, Unthank | smith, nowhere and everywhere.
Played it already 3 times and liking it more and more.
Sounds like an honest recording, not too much polishing done imo.

Just received mine today based on your and @PaleRider’s recommendation. I hope it’s okay if I DM if I have set-up questions…

Thank you Greg.
Unfortunately I ran into an unexpected snafu not covered in the documentation: Amazon reseller sent the wrong BluRay player… (!) 
Ouch. I understand that complete disappointment. Did you check the one you received against the working models list in that post at PS Audio?
