The Pentagon – The Pentagon (East Wind Music / Universal Music Japan)
— Cedar Walton - piano; Clifford Jordan - tenor saxophone; Sam Jones - bass; Billy Higgins - drums; Ray Mantilla - congas

I'm listening to the stereo SACD of this title as the just-released mono SACD is on the mail truck out to me today. I haven't listened to this since the first weeks it was released, and it's an amazing SACD. You can hear so much of the details of his singing and playing, the room and the percussion he adds to the guitar and with his body.

The all-time greatest Direct-To-Disk recording, IMO..
