Tom Evered brought her the money. Is this a clip from the Mingus film? I remember him talking about Jutta and how he preferred her playing to Toshiko's, but I don't remember him saying he wanted to work with her. Curiously, the Mingus film is 1966. Hadn't Jutta stopped playing by then? I am not sure when her last documented gigs were. No later than 1962 or so, IIRC. 

From what I've read before when these came out, the mastering is the same as the 2013 King CTI reissue series on CD - at least where there's overlap. I have a couple of those 2013 reissues on Blu-Spec CD (Eric Gale's Forecast and Idris' Power of Soul) and I like them both SQ-wise. There are no issues of clipping for peak limiting that I noticed, but I'm not going to claim my take is definitive in any way. RVG's work on these CTI and Kudu albums were pretty lush, so someone would have to go out of their way to mess them up. I don't see the folks running King doing that.  Were you burned on Japanese CTI reissues before? 

RIP. He had the uneviable position of following Jimmy Lyons in Cecil’s group, and I struggle with those albums most in his discography, but never stop coming back to them, I think to find what Ward sought to find in the music. And he had an incredible body of work outside. 

An extraordinary pianist and musical thinker, “The Code” — an essential link in the continuity of jazz music throughout the 1970s, and of course beyond, a deep creator across many decades. If you haven’t heard the 2021 5xCD box set entitled Empathy you should seek it out. In addition to a (I believe) final duo with Dave Liebman, it includes a bevy of other music, including a solo piano disc, imparting his great range. 

How is the mastering on these? Is there any brick-walling or clipping or peak limiting? (I've been burned too many times by Japanese CD mastering)
