Best Sound Quality
I have this recording in SACD version from Analogue Productions and thought it would the ultimate. However, the HDTT version is clearly better in all areas. Better dynamics, better clarity, better everything…

Burrell and Blakey hit the spot!
Fine Recording of a most enjoyable performance.The combination of Blakey and Burrell brings together two of my favorites. If you don’t know this one suggest you give at listen.

Kednny Burrell - Art B lakey at Five Spot
I like this recording a lot but it is a pity that one on the songs recording in this occasion is missing. I had to but the CD to get it. The sound is excellent but the options in sound quality for downloading should be explained better.
