Expected to become available again end of June 2023. Word.
Got my copy in April 2023, at German record store,regular price, happy.
Flat, quiet, great pressing.

My first Tone Poet and got me hooked until quality has recently started to decline.

Just a beautiful release with an incredible soundstage. This is my second Tone Poet purchase behind John Coltrane's Blue Train 2LP stereo release, which is an outlier in this series. I am very happy with this purchase and bought it on sale, which saved me $10. Currently researching which Tone Poet I want to purchase next, which just might be Schofield/Metheny's 'I Can See Your House From Here'.

[Turntable used for this review:
Rega P3:RB880 tonearm,Shure V15 Mk3 Jico VN-35HE stylus tip, Delrin Platter, Rega Neo, (4)Isoacoustic Orea bronze feet.
Phono Stage Whest Audio TWO.2 class a dual mono fully balanced phono stage, 50db/47k ohms,HOMC setting]

Highly Recommended for ALL lovers of;Jazz,Bop,Hard Bop,etc.& hifi enthusiast/audiophiles alike,my copy is fairly noise free flat(180gms),no real distortion & came in a poly lined white inner sleeve & the high standard Tone Poet gatefold.
What I personally like about this excellent album is it features:Donald Byrd(trumpet),Hank Mobley(tenor sax),Paul Chambers(bass),Art Blakey(drums) & of course Mr Clark on piano,& it could be anyone of their album they all feature so prominently,full dynamics with great stereo separation,fine imaging alone with air & ambiance,five stars*****

No distortion and rich sound, but background noise and crackles on B2 and B3.
