as the analogue tapes were in no condition to be used. There's a lot to like about this release. I've only listened to first two albums and you can tell there is a significant differenec to anyting out there. However I'm not convinced if I prefer this new remaster. It sounds cleaner and a tad brighter, more hifi if you like. Bass is more pronounced and precise, noise floor is lower but somehow horns sound a little cleaner and thiner too and perhaps not as sharp (with less timbre). Saying they sound polite probably would be taking it too far though. If you like Ornetter Coleman and always wanted these recordings to sound cleaner this is a no brainer, but do try before you buy as you may find it lacking that little bit of soul. I reserve judgement until I listen to the lot.
As to actual music it mixes Cool Jazz - like motifs with funky beats, big arrangements with lots happening. Sound quality is very good. It feels slightly overindulgent for a critical listening session, but in current weather to have it playing in the background it's just great. The standout tracks are the ones that mix latin like vibe with a bit more challangeing timings with some lovely poly rhythms. It's technically a contemporary Jazz album, but it feels quite old and particularly on second listen you feel like you know more than you actually do.

I am tempted but itunes just has the songs of the super deluxe album for £29.99 and on Amazon the normal deluxe version with 2 cds £12.99 and then the £169.99 super deluxe .jjbomber said:

I'm streaming. I might get "Both Directions at Once: The Lost Album" on CD as it's indeed very good. Even though I rarely buy CDs these days.Lord Fluken said:insider9 said:Also released last Friday, new double album by Kamasi Wasington.

I agree is a great album in this weather. As to length, do you have it physically or are you streaming? If you have physical, have you found the extra disc (2 if vinyl) which is another 38 mins raking it to 3 hours again? 3rd disc is called The Choice which is available separately streaming. If cd, it's sealed in the middle section, look at the top and you can see serrated edge to open, if vinyl it's the middle two section.
The lost John Coltrane album is very good indeed.
