How is this?

It's really good.  Admittedly, I'd forgotten all about it until I was looking at my High Note CDs yesterday but I'll be sure to add it to my heavy rotation.

NP:

I really dig this music, but my Schema-Rearward CD reissue sounds very hard and congested.  Everything feels overdriven, recording-wise.  I realize that this is blaring, LOUD music -- but the recording seems to accentuate that aspect of it.  It's distracting (to me, at least).  

Of course, it might just be my ears.  Or I could be bumping up against limitations in my (old-but-trusty) stereo system.

So I'm curious:  Does anyone have this album on LP?  Or, for that matter, the Schema-Rearward CD?  If so, does it sound that way to you too? 

 

Well  I have the same CD edition but cant remember if there was an issue with the sound. So I will play it again within the coming days and will comment on  your analysis.

I guess I will never be the BIGGEST Carmen McRae fan. But I like some things here more than I expected.

Interesting to hear Walton & Higgins with RC, instead of Sam Jones or David Williams.

The latter the Cool Jojo +4 edition with bonus tracks.

😁👍 Is volume 2 a separate LP or is this a 2 LP set?
