Monk/Coltrane 57 sessions

[Steve Gray]

I can't find any discussion of this new 2 CD set here. Maybe it's here but I can't find it.

Does anyone have it and can comment on it?

I am particularly interested in the sound quality compared to the complete Riverside box.

Thanks

Sound quality is excellent, to me a clear improvement on the original OJC's (I don't have the box, but assume it was from the same mastering as the OJC's). The whole package is extremely well-done, and also priced right.

I have it and can recommend it. I agree with felser in all he reports. There has been mention of this elsewhere, either in a thread of its own or in a K2 thread.

Thanks for the link but reading it prompts another question.

Does this new set have the mono masters that are said to be superior to the stereo versions.

[Chuck Nessa]

No.

Thanks erverone for the help.
