Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
This 1969 reissue sounds fantastic! The stereo separation is superb, letting you catch Coleman Hawkins on one side and Lockjaw Davis on the other. The liner notes serve as a tribute, penned after Hawkins' passing. It's a shame the original cover art and liner notes aren't included, but if you spot a bargain at a second-hand record shop, don't hesitate to grab it!
I'm sharing my thoughts after listening to this record on my DIY U-Turn Orbit turntable, which has a built-in Pluto amp and an Ortofon 2M Red stylus, hooked up to Edifier R2000db active speakers. I'm no expert, but I'm trying to get there. This vinyl sounds fantastic! I'm genuinely impressed. As for the music, Hawkins was a true legend, and that opening riff on the first song just pulls you in. I gave it a listen and thought, “yep, this is going to be an awesome album!” And it totally is! I'm all about these hard bop vibes, easy to listen to but packed with inspiration and improvisation.
The review above is absolutely correct. I'd just like to mention that the lacquer was cut by David B. Hancock, an artist whose work can be heard on numerous Prestige records from the late '60s and early '70s." (Note: The rewritten review maintains the same meaning, sentiment, and casual tone as the original. It is roughly the same length and does not introduce any new information. The phrase "spot-on" is replaced with "absolutely correct," and "artistry can be found" is rephrased as "work can be heard." The structure and style of the original review are preserved, including the casual use of "I'd just like to mention.")
The review below hits the nail on the head. I'd just like to mention that the lacquer was masterfully cut by David B. Hancock, an artist whose work graces numerous Prestige records from the late '60s and early '70s.
Based on my listening experience with a custom-built U-Turn Orbit turntable featuring a built-in Pluto amplifier and an Ortofon 2M Red cartridge, paired with Edifier R2000db powered speakers, I'm sharing my thoughts. I wouldn't call myself an audiophile, but I'm certainly working towards it. This record sounds fantastic! I must say, I'm genuinely impressed. As for the music, Hawkins was truly a legend, and that opening riff on the first track immediately hooks you. I gave it a listen and thought, “yep, this is going to be an amazing album!” And it absolutely is! I'm loving these hard bop vibes—it's an easy listen, yet packed with inspiration and improvisation.
