Posted Wednesday, December 24, 2025 by Andrew Really amazing mixing and pressing: all instruments are well separated, piano sounds great and finally you can clearly hear the left hand and chord overtones! Also the attach of the sound is quite realistic, but what is the most exciting and unexpected for me is the brushes! You can literally hear them as if someone is playing in your room. Highly recommended record even for the full price you won't be disapointed.

Not my favorite mixing, but the pressing is great

Posted Wednesday, December 24, 2025 by Andrew I like the recording, but did not expect the panning to be so radical: it sounds like as if my speakers are turned not to me, but L to the left and R to the right, making a huge gap in the middle... I can't blame the recording though, especially that Coleman's alto and Cherry's trumpet are in the same channel, probably it was done historically and you can't separate them. However, the sound realism is great: the bass is deep and clear, cymbals are distinct yet not agressive, and trumpet's surdine is full of harmonics (or overtones)...

Posted Thursday, November 14, 2024 by Chris M I simply got lost in this beautiful, laid back album. I felt transported into the club. It definitely was not on my radar until Chad recommended it. I can't believe I have not heard it until now. LOVE IT!

Outstanding

Posted Wednesday, May 8, 2024 by DS All I can say is there better be a vol 2, 3, and 4. Would be a shame if this great 4 vol set wasn’t done as a complete set. Vol1 sounds outstanding.. please do 2 3 and 4. Don’t leave the other three out.

THANK YOU ALL !

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.
