Posted Wednesday, December 4, 2019 by Anthony I grew up in Seattle but was in high school during the heyday of the Penthouse so I never got the opportunity to experience that great jazz club and it's live music. So I thank the producers of this release for giving me the chance to hear and feel what the Penthouse was all about. The LP is in mono with the musicians centered in the soundfield. It is easy to distinguish between Griffin and Davis, both by styles and position even though they are side by side. The vinyl is flat and perfectly quiet, but the edges are unfinished and sharp. Be careful! The club's ambiance and it's polite audience are very evident. For the price, the record cover is very flimsy and the inner jackets of the cheap plastic variety. However the enclosed booklet (The ad says 28 pages, mine is 7. Maybe the CD's has 28?) is full of useful archival information, interviews, and outstanding photographs. This is great music and a great performance and gives a taste of the Seattle jazz scene in the '60's
