Almost Tone Poet quality

5 Stars
Posted Monday, June 14, 2021 by Brian VanPelt If you are familiar with the Blue Note Tone Poet records, then you are aware of the high standard they set for quality pressings. This record is just about as good. It sounds like it is cut about as loudly as a Tone Poet, but it is a little thin- sounding compared to a Tone Poet.

As for surface noise, there's not much. A click here or there is all I heard. The record itself looked visually perfect. The pressing is almost dead quiet, and all of the instruments have great detail and punch. The soundstage spans from left to right, with center fill. The cymbals are perfect and the horns will knock you for a loop.

Overall, excellent. I hope your copy is as good as mine.

Clean Vinyl but Loud Music

5 Stars
Posted Monday, May 17, 2021 by Brian VanPelt Usually, it's nice to have loud music to cover up any surface noise on the record, and the music on this record is certainly loud enough to cover such noise. However, the vinyl itself is very quiet. During quiet parts, like between songs, I heard a click now and then, but that's about it. If deep grooves allow for a high gain recording to be put on record, then the grooves on this vinyl must be cut very deep to obtain such a brilliant recording.

With Blue Note records, I am never quite sure the quality that I'm going to get. But this record looked about perfect visually. The sound is excellent - great detail, natural instrument sound, players sonically easy to locate, etc.

The times that I've gotten great Blue Note records have always involved big name jazz people. The record I have is like those records. Therefore, I must surmise that Grant Green is one of the greats. I didn't know he was one of the big names in jazz.

nice

5 Stars
Posted Tuesday, June 30, 2020 by william great pressing no static, label is cut good, no defects or distortions really happy this was pressed this with the original analogue tapes! since this is a really unpopular record from blue note it seems blue note didn't use the same amazing recording equipment as black fire, point of departure, and judgement because they knew it was not going to sell as well. just listen

Another Blue Note 80 Winner

5 Stars
Posted Tuesday, January 7, 2020 by Len If you have been hesitant about purchasing a Blue Note 80 album, don't be. This is excellent music, great performance, and first rate vinyl and pressing. This is the third in the series that I have purchased and have been more than happy with all of them.

Actually 4.5 stars

5 Stars
Posted Monday, July 1, 2019 by Len I want you to understand that I love this record, but compared to 'Cornbread' (review to follow) it falls just short of 5 stars. The vinyl is flat with no noise, ticks or pops. However, the Tone Poet and MMJ 33 series set a pretty high sonic bar and this just misses that lofty standard. I want to emphasize that this is a really first rate recording and that I will be purchasing more of the BN 80 series in the future.
