Super high-quality analogue vinyl for your listening pleasure: Jazz Saxophonist Ben Webster performs 10 songs including "Jeep Is Jumping'", "You Forgot to Remember" and more with bassist Ray Brown, drummer Ed Tighpen, pianist Dick Katz and Alan Haven on organ.

The sound quality is very good indeed. The instruments timbre is very accurate, the recording space is neatly distributed and you can pin point where’re every musician, the stereo image is wide and well distributed with a very detailed presence and transparency. The illusion of “being there” is extremely realistic.

The illusion of “being there” is extremely realistic. I have the impression that this tape was meticulously mastered and if it’s so, it was a great Mastering work. As a Mastering Engineer myself, I have found many nice recordings ruined by the Mastering process. Not this one.
