  • Byrd's Sextet: Hits and Misses

    3 out of 5 stars
    yzhaqa84595 October 2025United States🇺🇸

    For his second time at the helm with Blue Note, Byrd once more opts for a sextet. "Witchcraft" and "Here I am" are fantastic. The other tracks are just alright.

  • Impressed with Perfect Pressing

    4 out of 5 stars
    Yilmwo19 September 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm genuinely impressed with this pressing! It's perfectly flat and has minimal disturbances. The sound quality is fantastic, I'm really pleased with my purchase.

  • Vinyl Gem Impresses

    5 out of 5 stars
    IgmuoxWeid20 March 2024United States🇺🇸

    I must say, I was genuinely impressed with the overall quality of this recording. Lately, I transferred this LP along with Byrd In Flight (from the Blue Note Tone Poet series) into a digital format so I could enjoy them in my car, and I was blown away by how well this LP held up next to the Blue Note pressing. Now I'm browsing the Vinyl Passage catalog to see what other hidden treasures I might discover there. It's only fair to highlight that the music itself is outstanding - this is a highly recommended LP, regardless of the label or format.

  • Byrd and Adams Breathtaking Album

    this album is simply breathtaking and the pressing is superb, Byrd and Adams truly show off their exceptional talents
