Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl?

Sbrownnw,

my guess is that you are hearing the vintage equipment they recorded them with (vintage vacuum tube sound)

Do you like the music?

'Money Jungle' with Ellington, Mingus and Roach is my favorite.

awesome album!

missed the on vinyl part, sorry

maybe it is available, good luck

I just listened to 'We Get Requests' and agree, it is quite nice - thanks guys!

Lewm,

I was referring to this comment: "unexpected weird honky tonk sound" and I presumed vintage tube coloration (thickness in the bass etc.).

Maybe I am reading somthing into the comment.
