    Great sound. That being said, I know that there are way more expensive versions that sound a little better…

      My copy sounds amazing. No clics or pops. No distortion or other issues. The pressing have good dinamics and in general sounds really good. Highly recommended for the price.

        Anyone recommend a version where the sax isn’t as loud? I saw the reviews before purchasing but didn’t realize I’d be as distracted as I was by it. Please and thank you.

          I am very happy with this for the price. Nice and flat no significant pops or crackles very good value as well wish I could find more like this from official labels.

            Very clean and defined sound. Amazing stage. The only problem is an annoying distortion on the high sax, which played on the left side but scraked on the right.

              4 stars overall, but 5 stars for this price range releases: you get a nice recording, well mixed, distinct bass, nice drums and cymbals, piano sounds great... It's just this overly harsh sax... Of course it's in a center of attention, but on better releases it's sounding just loud, not harsh.

                Beaucoup l'on déjà dit ici, mais j'y remets une couche : le pressage est de très mauvaise qualité, aucune puissance, le son est linéaire, aucune vie, bref... quel dommage pour cet album qui est une pépite en Jazz !

                    A bargain (or maybe I was lucky)! Sounds really nice, with clear top end and midrange. Bass also good.

                      The print quality of the labels are reminiscent of a bootleg. Surprised that these labels are so low-res.
