5 out of 5 stars Now I know why I spent thousands on my HiFi System.......2003-03-22

Toshiko Akiyoshi, Lew Tabackin Big Band at its undoubted best, just swings with tremendous power and tempo, no pretentions, just great jazz.
A little too much stereo definition as opposed to todays recording techniques, but these 20 Bit versions are worth every penny. This will become a show piece to demo the HiFi, the clarity of the sound is outstanding.

Just buy it, its worth the wait!

Would give it 6 stars if I could

5 out of 5 stars This big band classic swings, mystifies and soothes...........1998-12-06

One of their best, from the mid 1970's. An incredibly rich, full sound. The arrangements, unmistakably Ellington-influenced, are alternately poetic and swinging, with unique textures and voicings. The chemistry of Toshiko's Japanese roots paired with then-husband Lew Tabackin's muscular, often quirky, sax work is very refreshing. I have been listening to this one since I was a kid, and it remains vital today. A must have for any fan of inventive big band music.
