Reviews
- exceptional master and pressing as befits this album's status
made in germany (oolahlah)
if you're a fan of free/avant garde jazz, you should buy this - Monumental reissue. Absolutely fantastic sounding, and indeed i'd say better than any Acoustic Sounds or Tone Poet out there. This 2017 release uses the same ol stampers from 1973, so not only ofc you are getting the original mastering for this record, but you also get that sweet sweet AAA guarantee. Not only that, but the pressing is absolutely dead quiet with one or two ticks only, and we are talking about an album that features very very silent sections. It even comes with a polysleeve. Get one before these go out of print.
- Edited 8 months agoPulsating, original and influental album that belongs to the best what was recorded in 70´s. After first listening I had mixed experiences, but more and more it pulled me in.There are fabulous up tempo tracks, also free Interception with Near East motive. Original melodies are repeated in different ways through the songs. In title song with perhaps Celtic ideas. Q&A can really reminds meeting of birds. The artists communicate together perfectly like in Now Here. There is no dominant instrument, Rivers perfect technically, Braxton emotional, Holland precisse and Altschul very contemporary. But the whole album "smells" with unique mood or atmosphere. The sound is terrific, clear and dynamic. Instruments have natural colour and separation. The record was necessary properly clear. Also helped two-three time listen the record. After that is very silent. Highly recommended album and reissue.
referencing Conference Of The Birds (LP, Album) ECM 1-1027
I have owned this location since it first was released and it remains one of my top 10 jazz picks in my collection.- I am suprised noone comment on the sound quality of this reissue. Its a complete BOMB! As good as you can get or even better (blows blue note tone poets out of the water in terms of details imo). Killer album and a beautiful release.
- Can anyone attest to the quality of this reissue? Would love to add this to collection if pressing good.
