NY Reunion

I have them both, and will check this evening. My Lithium levels are a little high, so right now I'm hearing "Page One" playing in my head. Hmmmmmmm, channel balance is a little off - nothing new there!

Hey Mes, they're the same on my system, Henderson on the right, Tyner on the left on "Recorda Me." You might want to check the polarity if your connections on the phono rig - headshell leads perhaps? Damn, that's a good recording! Thanks for prompting me to drag it out (the LP that is!) -John

It's too bad Chesky didn't issue it as a double-LP, to include all of the songs present on the CD. But a great-sounding truncated LP is better than no LP at all, I say. And I BELIEVE that the polarities of my sytem are correct, but I could just be having one of those pesky flashbacks. -John

My review: It's an awesome recording. Get it! No, no, don't wait! Go now! And no, Detlof is not Rxing me anything. I happily self-prescribe, thank you. What? You're still reading this? Go buy the CD!

No really, it's a great set with (I'm sure you know) Joe Henderson (his "Page One" is another jazz must-own), McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter on bass, and Al Foster on drums. You can tell that they're just lovin' playing together again. Very well recorded (albeit at a slightly lower level), and sounds even better on LP despite being from (presumably) a digital master and about half the length of the CD. -John
