  • J.J. Johnson's Breathtaking Trombone

    5 out of 5 stars
    qekirwcw30 October 2025United States🇺🇸

    J. J. Johnson's trombone skills and style were consistently top-notch. His incredible technique creates breathtaking music, and with a band of outstanding musicians, he keeps the listener hooked from start to finish. It's a fantastic pressing with pure analog, rich sound, and just like the recordings of that era, the three-dimensional stage is incredibly deep. A perfect 10-star performance. Absolutely amazing.

  • Authentic RVG Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    hj.fegu21 May 2025United States🇺🇸

    Got the Van Gelder Stereo stamp in the dead wax area. The sound quality is absolutely flawless, it's got that authentic RVG 60’s vibe (with the drums on the right side, as expected). I'm puzzled as to why this pressing of this amazing album is so inexpensive, around 20 bucks for a NM copy, but I'm definitely satisfied with my purchase.

  • J.J. Johnson's Stellar Trombone Brilliance

    5 out of 5 stars
    gacihwgs4 December 2024United States🇺🇸

    J. J. Johnson's trombone skills and style were top-notch all the way through. His incredible talent creates incredible tunes, and with a band of outstanding musicians, he keeps you hooked from start to finish. The sound quality is phenomenal—pure analog, rich, and just like the recordings from that era, the three-dimensional soundstage is incredibly deep. A stellar 10-star performance. Absolutely amazing.

  • Affordable Classic Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    tv.lizo9 July 2024United States🇺🇸

    This one's got the Van Gelder Stereo mark in the dead wax, and it sounds just right – that classic RVG 60’s vibe with the drums on the right, as it should be. I can't figure out why this pressing of this amazing album is so affordable, around 20 bucks for a near mint copy, but I'm thrilled with it.

  • JJ Catalog Reissue Needed

    5 out of 5 stars
    Nzacod182424 February 2024United States🇺🇸

    This album is absolutely incredible. It's about time the whole JJ catalog got the Kevin Gray reissue treatment! We need to make this happen!!
