"Tour-de-force performances by (so I say) the best jazz band in the world at the time recorded beautifully, every instrument from bass to ride cymbal perfectly clear and present, so often not the case in live jazz, or studio recordings for that matter. Even the introduction by the legendary Pee We..." [+] Reply
"Being an Australian I’m probably more than a little biased in saying Courtney Barnett is a national treasure & proof that if someone can go from their bedroom in Preston Melbourne to global stardom and appearing on Ellen within a short few years, well, anyone can And despite the middling critical..."

"This album is a masterpiece ??? Other album of 1981st also is a masterpiece ?? These 2 albums must be listen" Reply

"Definitely an artist I want to throw into rotation more. Absolutely love Rounds so I was excited for more Four Tet albums.
