Old time fave ....

I told myself I wasn't going to buy this set, I've bought this material so many times, and I did resist the ridiculous price fo the LP set, but saw a great deal on the cd set and went for it. I did so because I read really positive remarks about the remastering by Paul Blackmore. This engineer did fantastic work for Universal Japan in their Prestige etc. reissue series, doing DSD remastering. So I expected good sound.

And I got it. Really nice sound. I'm enjoying going through these recordings again. This time around I have noticed a Cannonball influence on Trane I hadn't before, and this week with these and other recordings I'm impressed with Donald Byrd yet again. 

John Coltrane "Coltrane '58" Cds 1 and 4.

More Shepp:

I have the 2007 Enja reissue (with a couple nice, long bonus tracks), but the original cover is a much more potent image, I think.

Where do you hear this Cannonball influence?

[jazzbo]

I hear it myself especially in some solos on the first sessions on the box. The way he structures what I would call the "scalar runs."

I'll give that a spin later.  Along with Double Take (co-led by Woody Shaw), that is my go-to Hubbard album.

Now playing:

I need to rip Dixon's Odyssey box.  Although this album would send my wife screaming, my toddler is calmly enjoying it.

I've always liked the Foster session which I've known since the fifties, when it looked like this:
