I discovered this gem from a recommendation on the Hoffman forum and it is indeed fantastic! Really lively and beautiful sound quality, highly recommended!!

texasvinyl - i couldn't agree more. It's like these fellas are right in your listening room. It reminds me of when my standard-playing band rehearsed in my living room. Of course, we never sounded this good - but the sound of the instruments was like this recording, this is real. Real amazing.

It must be said, the sound quality of this record is phenomenal. And the playing is superb. Not to be missed...
