Really not as bad as it’s made out to be. Okay, it’s not spectacular but You Won’t Change Me, Gypsy and Dirty Women are actually really good. You can almost hear the sound of the swirling coke dust though.

Count Basie And His Orchestra – Hollywood...Basie's Way. 1968 iUK ssue.

Late 60s Basie so BIG arrangements and beautiful sound but maybe not the most interesting material.

Bobby Hutcherson - Happenings
BN Classic reissue.

 

[poco a poco]

Playing my copy now. Side 1 has some distortion though

Bobby Hutcherson – Happenings. Blue Note – ST 84231. LP, Remastered, 2024. This is fantastic and dynamic as a dynamic thing on steroids...

My copy is totally flat and quiet, but as Gavin said it is also amazingly dynamic. I am getting no distortion on track1, but I can imagine some systems may find this difficult to track. This is a xylophone being hit really hard with hard rubber mallets and it seems RVG has placed his mikes very close to the metal bars and resonators pushing them to the limits. It does not overload, at least not to my ears, but comes very close.
Track 2 is very interesting as Joe Chambers plays a unusual ‘fluttering’ sound with his brushes that can almost sound like noise while both Hancock (sounding great) and Bobby hammer quite hard on the keys at times.
Interesting to compare tracks 1 and 2 with track 3 that I am fairly certain is a marimba? that has softer tuning hit with soft mallets.
