    Hard to believe this album was shelved until 2003! Bordering on criminal, if you ask me. There is just so much to love here. I'm happy that Blue Note chose to release this as a three-sider so that we get all of these amazing tracks. Another Tone Poet gem.

          Amazing. I confess I own only a handful of Time Poet releases - mostly because I already have other pressings etc. Bought this as it’s a first vinyl release of these recordings - how the hell did Blue Note not release these back in the day? 10/10 . The pressing sounds phenomenal on my LP12 with Dynavector DV20L . It’s definitely a hot pressing so might not be great for those with budget gear but wow tte music. Essential

              One of the first albums I tried my Ortofon Bronze with, and wow did it never not disappoint! I own just over 20 Tone Poet releases, and I'm starting to think that they simply can't do wrong.

                Upgraded my cart to a AT-VM95ML, and the distortion mostly went away.

                  Amazing pressing, superb mastering, excellent press from RIT i think this was the last relaese before QC going to hell. The music is excelent very dark jazz melodies.

                    This is an amazing pressing! These Tone Poet editions never fail to impress me! A wonderful pressing for an amazing underrated record!

                      Talking about the music here, not the pressing - this was not a "love at first sight" for me - I had it on a shelf for quite some time. HOWEVER - every time I listen to it - it keeps growing on me - more then just about any other jazz album I own (some of which are growing less on me as I listen to them more)....so, yeah. I like it! :-)
