I was positively surprised by the sound quality (but I only heard the first Antibes concert so far). Nice package, no regrets.

Plenty of nice jazz on that list, I'd also be happy to hear Nduduzo Makhathini and that trio of Linda May Han Oh with Ambrose Akinmusire and Tyshawn Sorey

How does that one sound? I am considering it for its combining a lot in a nice package.

Coleman Hawkins “The Hawk Returns” Savoy/Denon cd 1954 Sessions recorded in Chicago with Herman Blount aka Sun Ra on piano on the second session.

I like the "warmer' sound with a bit of vibrato that is often missing from period instruments. There is also (at times) a whining quality I hear from period instruments. Though I must admit, that a number of the more recent recordings i have heard by period instrument groups strike me as much better sounding than some earlier recordings. My impression is that some more recent Period Instrument quartets have moderated their approach a bit and incorporated a modest bit of vibrato and sound less whiney. At the same time a number of string quartets who do not identify as Period Instrument groups have also modified their playing to become more sensitive to some period instrument performance concepts.
