I've had this sitting around for over a year and just now finally got around to playing it. Excellent classic early jazz, swings hard and the blowing is first rate! Sound quality is excellent, like so many of these early jazz recordings. Relaxing yet lively. Love it! -
Agree with the others. Great album. Happy I was able to pick it up at a low price. My cover is a bit messed up but doesn’t matter. The music and sound is quite good. Also amazing that Coleman Hawkins plays on this album. So good -
Hidden gem!
Amazing band and sound.
Stunning cover photo.
So enjoyable!
Worth buying stuff -
Just purchased a copy of this from a local shop, it looks as if this is the first time it's ever been taken out of its jacket. Absolutely pristine.
And it sounds amazing! Great arrangements of these songs, solid recording. I recommend this for anybody who is working on the deeper side of their jazz catalog. -
Fantastic sound from this antique pressing, great energy from the band. Worth your time, for sure.
