Very cool session!
I would listen to the entire recording before buying this. The remaster offered here is excellent and I'm very happy to add it to the collection! Others may not feel that way depending on their musical expectations.


Pioneering Modal Jazz in DSD
George Russell was the guru of modal jazz. Listen closely to the last segment of "The Lydiot" and you'll recognize the riff that Miles Davis stole for "Milestones". The two-piano lineup of Bill Evans and Paul Bley is presented with impact and warmth. This American Decca release was never issued in hi-res or on SACD. Kudos to HDTT for making it available in DSD.
sound
the sound is very good
Brilliant sound and performa ce
The title makes it seem like the album could be full of cheezy tunes, but that is not the case at all. A great album with almost perfect sound quality.
Great Cooperation
A gathering of great musicians sounds interesting and unusual! The sound is very dynamic and the piano from Evans like item of synergy. Great recording! Must have!!!
