Posted Friday, June 16, 2023 by Musicsurgeon Received my copy yesterday. OMG ! What a recording and what a achievement this is. Thanks to everyone involved in the production of this record. From the engineers, to the editing team, the mastering, the lacker cut, the pressing, the cover, the label ! This is just a wonderful edition. Thanks to Craft and people at Acoustic Sounds and the QRP team. And once more admiration for the "out of this world" Bernie Grundman and Chad Kassem. Thanks to Leroy Vinnegar and his band for the music. This is really, really wonderful "feel good" music, and what a bass ! It can't get any better....

Superb reissue

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, May 14, 2022 by Eric L This is the first release in the Contemporary Series and

it's been a long time coming. Finally Craft teamed up

with Acoustic Sounds to remaster these reissues. If

you're a fan of Roy DuNann, the engineer for these

sessions, you'll probably want to have these.

Contemporary is admired by many audiophiles for it's

great natural sound and this is no exception. Bernie

Grundman, who worked at Contemporary, has

mastered these.This recording is from 1959. The sound

retains the vibrancy and warmth of the originals. In

many ways the sound here is more satisfying and

realistic then Van Gelder's Blue Notes. And the

arrangements by Marty Paich are really stunning.

I compared a couple of selections with the OJC 1988

release remastered by Phil De Lancie. The OJC is

excellent as well and to be truthful I really can't tell

which one is superior. But don't go by me. Hopefully

others with a keener ear will be more analytic.
