Vying for top slot for the best sounding CD ever in my system
Possibly because of the following I seen on the back cover:
The classic Blue Note albums which span the mid 1950’s to late1960’s were recorded directly on to two track analog tape. No Multitrack recording was used and consequently no mixing was required.
Therefore, this CD was made by transferring the one step analog master to digital.
Grant Green "Feelin' the Spirit"
From the original liner notes:
"Green has made no attempt here to recreate the five spirituals he plays in anything resembling their original context, nor has he tried to duplicate their often pallid manifestation on the concert stage. He has approached them with affection, but as music to be played in his style. The result is a fascinating combination: the techniques of modern jazz, blues, and gospel, all applied to the spiritual." - Joe Goldberg
