I really like this album. IMO top notch performances by all of the musicians, including the remarkable bassist Tal Wilkenfeld (who was only 21 at the time!).
Excellent RQ/SQ.

Thanks for letting me know!

What a a great record. Vocalise version of many of the great jazz standards from the ( I guess) hard bop era. The sound quality is excellent but I have to say that in this instance the vinyl version is really remarkable and was a standard used by at least one UK magazine back in the day.

I saw him and his quartet on Monday at Ronnie Scotts. What a great show with speech and songs dovetailed into a continuous and swinging whole touching on being happy, French existentialism, Lorca and modernism, the labours of Sisyphus and swinging. Quite a mix! Sold right out and everyone left happy.
