I'm a big Pres fan and I own all 5 volumes. When I first listened to them, I was somewhat underwhelmed and didn't listen to them again for quite some time. A time came when I was trying to scrounge up some cash and I was considering selling them so I decided to give them another listen first. It was like I was hearing them with new ears. Despite the unremarkable trio, I thought all 5 volumes were well worth listening to and very enjoyable. I thought Pres was relaxed and in good form. The weakest link, in my opinion, was drummer Jim Lucht. He left me wishing Pres wasn't so generous with letting his band members make their statement. All in all, these aren't the first Pres recordings I would reach for, but they are well worth seeking out and listening to. I'd recommend them.
