I just bought Donald Byrd's "Royal Flush" and the sound is fine. Another player that was, somehow, in my blind spot. Got it for way less than full retail too. Give it a try.
Rudy Van Gelder Remasters
Anyone have the opportunity to hear any of these from the Concord Music Group? The liner notes indicate they were remastered by RVG himself at his studio using the analogue master tapes at 24 bit digital resolution. I picked up Gene Ammons "Boss Tenor" used the other day just to check out one from the series. Very impressive. I've been picking up as many of the Acoustic Sounds 45 RPM "Greatest Jazz" series as I can afford but this would seem a much less expensive alternative that gets pretty close. I think next I'll buy one of the RVG Remasters that I already own as a AS 45 and do a little comparison--anyone done this?
