I bought this many years ago and didn't like the audio fidelity. I just payed it off of You Tube and while I can enjoy it a bit more and can see why people are digging it, it's still pretty lousy audio.

It is, but I've certainly heard much worse (this is not bootleg sound, just poorly recorded), and Criss's performance is incendiary.

Listening to this for the first time since the early 2000's when I promptly discarded it. The only fault I really see in this is the raps. They are poor at best, especially give how creative hip hop was becoming in the early 90's. I wonder what the final product would have been if Miles was there to see this project through. The one thing I have been struck by is how effortless and inventive Miles was without the interplay of a band. really interesting and impressive stuff. Its also intriguing how he was melding the two genres in a similar concept but vastly different way than Steve Coleman was. This made me pull out Hami The Funky Descendant to play next

Ithis is a darn good record. I didn't realize how much I missed hearing George Adams until I started listening top him again.

Always underrated. It's got a great, very full, sound for an album from the early 80s.  Pullen is good on it too.

John Coltrane "Impressions" Japan Impulse MQA/UHQCD

Sounds killer.

Disc 2: I've owned this for 3.5 years and this is probably only my second or third run through the set.  I'm enjoying it.  Between the Duke covers and his Hodges-inflected alto playing, Herman wears his love for Duke on his sleeve.

Michael Pedicin "Ballads -- Searching for Peace"

Interesting player and album. In a Coltrane mode, at least here.

I recently picked up several of Pedicin's CD releases, including this one and I've enjoyed them all. Do you have "As It Should Be - Ballads 2"? It's also pretty good.

[jazzbo]

Yes, I like it as well.

Right now Lou Donaldson "Quartet, Quintet, Sextet" Blue Note 24 bit by RVG LP facsimile cd, Japan.

It amazes how great I can get these to sound on my system these days. I'm buying them when I can at cheaper prices.

Digging the exuberance.

I'm on the third disc now.  I'm torn here.  Although I appreciate that Woody pays tribute to Duke, it begs the question of why I should listen to another big band play Duke when I can just listen to Duke?
