This is a very fine recording.

Listening Now: to all volumes.

Agreed. That's a particularly good one, IMO. Listening now:

Up Next:

Yes, it is very good. Lots of alto and straight ahead be-bop, so it appeals to me a great deal. The rhythm section is perfect for the music. Carl Allen is especially on-target. There is actually not that much to distinguish the alto players from one another. All very strong players. I listened on i-tunes, so didn't have the liner notes to clearly establish the solo order. I believe (not certain, but fairly sure) that the stereo mix coincides with the photo - Watson, left channel, Herring center; and Bartz, right channel.

Now:

CD's 1 & 2

Now: John Hicks is outstanding on this recording.

Yes. Me too. Excellent recording (the studio set).
