When two jazz giants meet, the result is… exciting! That’s what we hear on this record. Don’t miss it.
A fine re-issue with outstanding fidelity thanks to a 15ips, 2 track tape source.
one of the all time great master jazz pianists playing the music of one of the all rime great master composers.
Wonderful music and fidelity!
I have been a fan for decades since my initial listening to Miles Davis when McCoy was one of his sidemen (misnomer). I have a high resolving system and computer audio player (several of them) and the HDTT purchase meets my highest criteria for the enjoyment of music. I particularly appreciate McCoy’s musicality and technique which is readily manifested in this recording. The charts for the Ellington compositions are superb and the instrumentation is imaginative and highly original, in my opinion. While Bill Evans is my favorite jazz pianist, it’s easy to place McCoy so very close to Bill in the two criteria I refer to above. Highly recommended. Best, REShaman
