Art Blakely & The Jazz Messengers Caravan (2024 Remaster) - anyone heard it?


I noticed this release was available on HDTracks this week and I'm curious if anyone had heard of it or knew the story on it.  I checked the Dynamic Range DB and it hasn't shown up there yet and a google search was fruitless.

I listened to this last night didn't even realize it was a new remaster as far as I can remember it sounded good I love that album. I was definitely multitasking however.

This is on Qobuz now. Search "Caravan (Remastered 2024)" and you will see it.

Thanks, the asking price on HDTracks is pretty small compared to what some recordings go for, but I really wanted to understand what I would be getting, if the remaster was good or bad.

 

FWIW, I have the remastered European CD. It has Blakey playing with Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Cedar Walton, Curtis Fuller and Reggie Workman. Orrin Keepnews is the producer. It was originally released on Riverside and the recording and production is top notch.
