Got it, the sound quality really blows - sadly, I have not gotten past that to focus on content yet.

[JSngry]

Is it live material?

[Eric]

yes - honestly, I gave it one listen and took it out of "rotation" - I am not sound a sound freak by any stretch - probably should pull it out again though ...

[Saint Vitus]

This sounds like the same thing as "Mellow Blues" issued on Moon.

Route One is the meanist road I know.

And the Garden State Parkway.

The Turnpike at rush hour sucks too.

Not to mention all the local traffic around these malls.

Sorry...

And as we say, the recording quality's a bit rough

Love those understated Dusty Groove guys

" a bit rough"- translation: "sounds like it was recorded in a cement factory"

Yes, and given what too often passes for "VG+" on E-Bay, I can just imagine what "a bit rough" means

Yes, it is.

As might be surmised, it is also an Art Blakey Jazz Messengers date, not a Woody Shaw Quintet date.
