The sax just leaps out of the speaker. The music speaks for itself, I needn't review that here. What a great pressing.

Wanted to add something to my order for "Music for Lighthousekeeping" so I picked this. This is every bit as good as that album, if not better. Energetic west coast bop, very melodic.
The copy I received from AS had the yellow sticker and was a Fantasy-era OJC pressing. Deadwax markings confirmed it as well. Just thought I would mention this for people that are picky about what type of OJC pressing they buy.

The music here is more than satisfying with some very good technique from Phineas Newborn on piano. Unfortunately for a new record, my copy was very noisy with countless background distractions, sounding like it was recorded from a used record instead of a master tape. Still, I'm glad to have this in my collection.

This seems to be in my opinion a VERY important to own if you love and respect John Coltrane. I would say if you are a jazz vinyl collector and this isn't apart of the collection yet, do what you can to add it soon.

I have a majority of Miles catalogue. This one is excellent and a great find for the price. Vibes and Miles mellow tone, but a very bebopp recording.

This is miles first and greatest quintet.They only lasted 3 years but their music output is timeless.Great individual players that were able to adapt to the music and their leader and yet make their own contributon to the music.Miles was a creative genius and exercise a powerful influence upon each member of his quintet making them play better as a group.Listen and marvel.This is Miles at it's best.

My favourite Coltrane album, the first track Good Bait is everything I like about Jazz and have played it almost to the point of divorce . . .
. . . Straight Vinyl of this is good, so very disappointed I missed the 45 or that there doesnt seem to be a 180g version anywhere.

First of all let me say this, Bill Evan's "Moon Beans" is lush and ethereal, nothing less than shear acoustic genius. The first LP was warped so badly not on the outer rim, but actually in the grooves of the first cut on side one, as if someone had laid the LP on a paper clip while it was still warm from the press. After returning the defective item and several weeks of waiting, I received another copy of this album only to find the it was defective in the exact same area, with an adjustment of stylus pressure I am able to enjoy this LP. "Moon Beams" is a lovely recording and it truly hurts me more than I'd thought it would to have to be satisfied with a sub standard copy from such a outstanding organization as "Acoustic Sounds Inc." Should I have opted for an "Audiophile" version in the hopes of better quality control?

This OJC release of Kenny Dorham's "Quiet Kenny" is a truly masterful repress. The dynamics are terrific, the bass full and tight, and the LP offers every little detail. Kenny sounded great on old mono slabs, but he sounds much better here on this OJC release!

this is more than just a great record.The Vince Guaraldi trio is Jazz, cool, calm, dreamy and always unique.Vince Guaraldi has attained such musical excellence as to illuminate his listeners in a most beautiful splendor of both joy and amazement.listening to this album has truly been inspiring.
