Holy Grail Analogue Recording Big Band found!

Years long quest for Toshiko Akyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band "Road Time" CD x 2 resolved!  Beautifully digitally remastered with all of the richness and glory of premier remote tape recording.

Oh, and the band...frighteningly great.  Scary!  Never a moments doubt of the performances, just taken aback by the dynamics and sound stage of a 1976 live recording.

Highest praise to Toshiko, Lew, band members, technical recording crew and mastering for a truly seminal effort.  Raise a glass to all facets wondrously executed perfection.

Discogs.  Very hard to find.  https://www.discogs.com/release/2844359-Toshiko-Akiyoshi-Lew-Tabackin-Big-Band-Road-Time

Hope that gets you there.  3 copies left.  I scored the CD x 2 from Winnipeg Records for well over 200 CAD plus shipping.  So this is not a light affair.  My rationalization was, I do not need another pair of interconnects.

Idiot autocorrect!  Mastering Bernie Grundman, not watering.  Wow!
