Good .Nice sound.I less like the style of this album. But for those who like it is another good thing of high defention

Pure DSD is a new endeavor for me in this great audiophile experience. Although the Big Band genre hasn’t been my go to listening, I did find Blues In Orbit robust and driving. Hearing the details of the high end even through the big horns was fun. DSD rocks.

IMO this is Duke's most listenable recording. I own three digital copies, one 200 gram LP and this transfer rivals only the vinyl (with noise)...must own!

Thank you for the great recording and mastering.I always look forward to new releases

great duke stuff, a must have for any collectors of great jazz.
