This is the 1962 stereo release of Sonny Rollins - “The Bridge”. It was also issued in Mono but I don’t know what that sounds like. There are lots of Jazz Buffs around here who can probably tell you a lot more than I know about the production of this record but it may be what you’re after. It’s just sax, bass, and drums, and some guitar in a room. I don’t know for sure how it was miked but it sounds very real, very natural. I don’t have another album that sounds as real in tone, space, and dimension as this one. I mean, it plays like it’s 3 (or 4) fantastic musicians in my living room - each one in their own specific actual life size holographic space. It’s like the players are set up in my room. You can tell where each player was located left to right and the interaction/reverberation/overlap of instruments sounds very realistic. It this was done by mixing separate tapes I’d be very surprised.
I love this whole record. Both music and SQ. But, If you want to just sample it before purchase it it’s on the streaming services. You might just try the wonderful track “God Bless the Child”. It’s on compilations too including the essential sonny Rollins RCA recordings and some others.
I know this album has been remastered at least a couple of times Might be interesting to compare
I’ll try to think of some others not mentioned yet.
Happy listening.
