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.
The cadre rouge series offers fantastic sound quality, crisp and clear with minimal surface noise. The vinyl's thickness is standard, which is perfectly fine in my opinion. The labels indicate mono, but the cover suggests stereo, and indeed, it's a stereo mix. Highly recommend! The inner sleeve features a blue note story on it.
Absolutely adore this album. Jazz with a strong blues undertone is my favorite, and this one delivers. It's a fantastic listen from start to finish. Musically, it's a 5-star masterpiece, but track B2 has a slight pop on a few spins that I've seen others mention, so I'll give it 4 stars.
Fantastic collection! I've got about 50 Tone Poets, and this one's really top-notch, both in sound and track selection. Fortunately, I didn't encounter any issues with any of the tracks, and the vinyl is perfectly flat. The piano tone isn't as smooth as the typical RVG recordings, but it's not bad either. It doesn't quite match the level of Chick Corea's TP. I agree with GalaxyExplorer that this album is better suited for late-night listening, and a fine glass of Tawny Port would make the perfect companion.
This re-release is among my top-notch Blue Note records. Don't miss out on this one 😎
I'm giving this a spin after a long break. It's a chilly, bright day, which doesn't quite match the vibe of the music - much like other Turrentine albums, this one feels more suited for late-night sessions. That said, it's really quite good (with the exception of track B1, which isn't my cup of tea). Side 1 is the standout. And, KG did an amazing job on the sound quality here. One of the best sounding TPs!
