I have a supposedly mid-seventies Canada press version which is not in here with an orange CTI label with CTI-6013-A/CTI-6013-B runouts with only TXD or maybe TXO as additional info! is TXD a pressing plant I could not find in any of the available pressing plant lists? Any guesses? -
Edited 3 years agoI heard a few seconds' excerpt from this album in a jazz documentary recently and immediately knew I needed to own it. Was happy to find it finally, and what a great find it is. If you love Freddie Hubbard, this has strong arrangements and some burnin' improv. It has the classic 'CTI sound', complete with Don Sebeski and orchestra. The ensemble here includes Ron Carter on bass, Jack DeJohnette on drums, Airto Moriera on percussion, and the ever lovely and talented George Benson heading up guitar duties. If you are a GB fan, you may have discovered by now this is possibly one of the top five Benson albums ever recorded. His solos are raw and energetic.
Engineered by RVG, you can count on clean tracking and a great STEREO mix. Hubbard's airy flugel tone is beautiful. The jazz ensemble is not drowned out by orchestra as occurs in similar Wes Montgomery albums on CTI.
This early/first pressing sounds amazing. Beautiful heavy gatefold. 4 stars. Recommended.

Edited 10 years agoUncertain when these late 1960's early 1970's CTI releases will get their just due in the collecting community. Really packaging with those heavyweight laminated gatefold covers and also some really fine music as well. Yes there are some sleepers out there but also some top of the line recordings (e.g. Red Clay, Joe Farrell Quartet, etc...)
