Yes the JH/JC remaster along with being some of the most beautiful music is also one of the very best recordings of male voice and sax. They are miked/mixed perfectly where I can close my eyes and truly believe they are in the room. Especialy track 3. I also love the Armstrong with Duke Ellington recommended by CMO. Make sure you get the newly remastered complete recordings session. The sound is incredible. Check out the track " I got it bad and that ain't good" and listen to the trumpet intro where you can hear the fingering as well as his breath. Awesome. If you like Miles the remasterd " Relax'n" is both beautiful and of audiophile quality. Miles trumpet is perfect. Coletrane is recorded/mixed a little too "hot' but still darn good. Love this stuff - Jim
Johnny Hartman with John Coltrane
Wow, does it get better than this? Just 6 songs. 30 minutes, but oh yeah. McCoy Tyner's piano with Hartman is delicate and sweet. Coltrane as mellow and humble to let Hartman shine. Elvin Jones drums and Jimmy Garrison on bass. These are greats making beautiful music. Any other great Hartman recordings? How 'bout singers with intimate quartet of the same ilk? thanks in advance, warren :)
