    I always wanted this album and it sucks that this version doesn't show the original artwork, but I'm more than happy with the sound. This session already had a muddy sound in origin, and several garbage CDs I've had only increased the blurriness. But here everything feels natural and the changes in intensity are delicious. A good mono option to own this early post-bop masterpiece.
