TAS Recommended! Rated a 'Best Audiophile Label Recording' in the November 2009 issue of The Absolute Sound!

Incredible Jazz Records + the original analog master tapes + cut at 45 RPM + mastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman at AcousTech + pressed on two 180-gram virgin vinyl LPs by RTI = THE ULTIMATE LP REISSUE!

"A Perfect 10" Highly Recommended Blue Note vinyl from Wayne Garcia of The Absolute Sound!

The same formula that made the Fantasy 45 Series perhaps the most successful audiophile reissue collection ever is now being reapplied to Blue Note reissues!

In terms of composition, leadership and playing, this is probably Jackie McLean’s greatest album, culled from two different sessions, separated by 20 months.

"The sound is open and holographic; drums and bass are very well captured, and the horns balance sweetness and bite." - Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, June/July 2009

"...the album boasts open and holographic sound; drums and bass are very well captured, and the horns have the right balance between sweetness and bite." - Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, November 2015
