    I had missed the original Tone Poet pressing of this and it's been on my list of ones to grab for quite some time. With Blue Note's "End Of Summer Sale" I decided to pick it up this week. WOW! Jackie McLean, Herbie Hancock, Roy Haynes, and Cecil McBee together is amazing. I have never listened to Charles Tolliver before but will definitely be checking out more of his work as well! I love this album after having only listened to it once... a perfect mix of hard bop and avant garde jazz that occasionally borders on free jazz (this style is the best thing about '60s Blue Note IMO). The album cover is also classic '60s Blue Note. Pressing wise... my copy is flat, dead silent and I love the gatefold photos. 10/10!!

      This just got a repress, don't pay scalper prices. Just paid $40 Canadian from my local record store.

          Great choice for a Tone Poet release, a touch avant-garde but not too out there. Drums and cymbals sound really clear and crisp. Horns well balanced. A reasonable piano sound considering RVG recorded it. Some have commented the bass is underdone - it’s a little reserved but it’s still clear and easily discernible in the mix, just not as focused in sound as the other instruments.

              As others have mentioned, bass is a little lost in the mix. More on some tracks than others. The rest of the instruments sparkle and sound incredible

              * Rega Planar 6 w/NEO PSU

                tone poet overhype train and kevins gray overall work on these albums... this ear piercing album sounds good but not amazing for sure, you can barely hear cecil mcbee bass and he has few minor solos as well. as for the album itself the annoying long boogaloo themes make this attempt to avangarde outdated and don't really fit the content. its like trying to mix hard bop with something out, it just does not work. you will find interesting solos here but that boogaloo junk on most of the tunes makes it a bad matching overall. scares me away from repeated listenings. if I want to hear some ear catching hard bop I will listen to a proper one, which blue note has plenty anyway.

                  Great album but after returning two new warped copies I moved on.

                    Man the instruments fly off the album. The stereo separation is as distinct as I’ve ever heard. At one point I was startled by the horns and I’m not on a crazy expensive set up. Highly recommend

                      What an amazing sound. The work they did with the horns in the stereo is fab!
