Holy Grail Analogue Recording Big Band found!

Years long quest for Toshiko Akyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band "Road Time" CD x 2 resolved!  Beautifully digitally remastered with all of the richness and glory of premier remote tape recording.

Oh, and the band...frighteningly great.  Scary!  Never a moments doubt of the performances, just taken aback by the dynamics and sound stage of a 1976 live recording.

Highest praise to Toshiko, Lew, band members, technical recording crew and mastering for a truly seminal effort.  Raise a glass to all facets wondrously executed perfection.
