Sonny Meets Hawk! in Pristine Stereo
Rollins and Hawkins display awesome harmonic inventiveness and technical facility in this historic encounter. Sonny Meets Hawk! had not been issued in hi-res or DSD prior to this HDTT release. The sound quality of the 1999 RCA CD (stereo) and 2010 Pure Pleasure LP (mono) releases rank well below HDTT's remarkably vivid transfer. This album rises to the top of my collection of HDTT jazz reissues in DSD.
Very good sound
This album is a great performance and good sound.

Disappointing
I did not enjoy this collaboration if you want to call it that. It felt like two people playing back and forth with no cohesiveness to the music. I thought it was all over the place and none of those places good. I like both of these musicians, but this felt strained.
Fantastic
A must buy for your collection - the detail of the recording is sublime and most enjoyable music. Don’t hesitate buying this one.
