  • OJC Pressing Impresses

    5 out of 5 stars
    B8ufwed_Veby_Luq4w2 September 2025United States🇺🇸

    I recently grabbed a copy of this from Craft since they've restocked it. I must say, for an OJC, this pressing sounds fantastic! It's way better than some of the pricier RSD jazz releases I've gotten lately, particularly when it comes to quality control. There's not a single pop, tick, or any surface noise to be heard. I'd definitely suggest snagging this one while Craft still has it in stock.

  • Affordable Quality with History

    5 out of 5 stars
    ca-sagegifebr28 February 2025United States🇺🇸

    For the price, this is a pretty decent copy. My first Grant Green record in this category was the complete opposite, with low volume and lots of noise. The gatefold is a nice touch, with a well-written review and a bit of history. I enjoy reading that kind of stuff while listening to the music... it really adds to the atmosphere )

  • Affordable Pleasant Copy

    5 out of 5 stars
    fu-mikibotolw28 February 2025United States🇺🇸

    For the price, this is a rather pleasant copy. My initial experience with Grant Green's in this category was quite the contrary—low volume, lots of noise, you name it. The gatefold is a nice touch, with a well-written review and a bit of history. I enjoy reading these kinds of things while listening... it really sets the mood )

  • Jazz Quartet's Timeless '56 Gem

    3 out of 5 stars
    belaZD_30 March 2024United States🇺🇸

    I suppose "modern" might not be the best descriptor for the Modern Jazz Quartet these days, considering this album dropped in '56. That aside, it's a strong record, very much in line with what we've come to expect from them. "Django", the title track, is a standout – a sultry, moody number that swings just right. Then there's Track A2, a showcase for each musician that's a real treat to listen to. All in all, for its time, the sound quality holds up pretty well.
