This AP Pablo pressing boasts that magical midrange quality that's so hard to find on other records. If you're someone who loves to really hear into a recording, to almost "see" the musicians, and feel like you're right there in the studio with them, this is the album for you. Of course, that's based on my setup in my room and my ears. Joining Gillespie on this 1974 session were guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Mickey Roker. I'm not too familiar with Roker, but both Pass and Brown are incredible musicians who had successful solo careers as well as playing with others. The black-and-white cover photo of the four guys, dressed casually and just hanging out, really shows the relaxed vibe between them. My listening setup for this album is an Atmo Sfera High End Edition TT with an Ortofon Quintet Black S cart, Ref D Klimo tube Phono stage, Yamaha AS 501 amp, Klipsch Quartet speakers, and a BK Double Gem Subwoofer.
This AP Pablo pressing has the kind of Tubey Magical Midrange that many records rarely are able to reproduce.

Of Roker I don’t know much, but both Pass and Brown are outstanding musicians and had successful solo careers in addition to performing with other musicians. The black-and-white cover shot of the four men, casually dressed and hanging out provides an indication of the relaxed camaraderie between the players.

Awesome collection. Diz is on point and Pass is, as always, top-notch. Brown and Roker provide fantastic backing. The pressing is superb. These 70s Pablo releases from the older jazz fans are often overlooked.
Awesome collection. Diz is on top of his game and Pass is, as always, fantastic. Brown and Roker provide top-notch backup. The pressing is superb. These Pablo sets from the 70s by these older boppers are often overlooked.
Wow, this album is absolutely amazing! The recording quality and pressing are top-notch. I bought it second-hand, and it's super quiet with an incredible sound stage. If you're out hunting for records and come across this one, definitely snag it! It's fantastic!
