    I concur with previous comments, fantastic pressing and great music.

      A fantastic pressing. Low noise floor. Perfect sound stage and imaging. Very open sonically considering everything that’s going on musically on this album. I can highly recommend!

        Another one of the great ones from "The Impulse! Reissue Series". many of the 96-97 batches are the best cuts/pressings out there.

        In my opinion this one bests the original. It's very natural and open. Cut about as hot as you could from the original recording of the performance. Worth tracking down.
