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.
My record spins real clear. No distortion here. There's a touch of static, it's worse on side A than B, but it's hardly noticable. I didn't even clean it before playin', so that should make a difference. Pretty happy with it overall.
Hi there Discogs! 🙋 Could you allow me to add an extra star for this record? Incredible sound quality!!! Massive soundstage, with super realistic tonality, positioning and size of each instrument… it's like live music!!
My Brubeck vinyl collection is expanding, and this album stands out near the pinnacle. It's a captivating reflection on a tour in Japan, blending visual and aural snapshots of a vibrant and enchanting nation. While Desmond and Brubeck usually take the spotlight, here the bass and drums shine too, backing the quartet beautifully. Standout tracks include the energetic and atmospheric "Tokyo Traffic", the daring "Toki's Theme", and the stunning ballad/swing combo, "The City is Crying". The sound quality is crisp, with minor clipping on the most intense sax notes, but it's not bothersome. The mix is excellent, and this pressing delivers a three-dimensional, dynamic sound. Four stars. Highly recommended.
Code XSM-77490-1L is printed on side A, with 0, P, C, and 3 marked… also, the 1L is at the end on side B. The code indicates a Netherlands pressing, but everything else on the label or pointing to USA and Pitman press.
Jazz Impressions of Japan is a mesmerizing album that demonstrates The Dave Brubeck Quartet's talent for merging jazz with cultural inspirations. After their 1964 Japan tour, the quartet created this musical journey, with every song echoing Brubeck's memories and feelings from the adventure.
