I put the Model One through it’s paces with these two gems. Wow !!!
I bought both LP’s when I was in college, early 70’s.
They are both favorites in the collection. The Miles Davis LP is a classic
that features many great musicians and is just a pleasure to listen to. It is a great
album to introduce someone to “Cool Jazz”. The Sonny Rollins LP
is an amazing LP, booming bass, and a soundstage that is as good as it gets.
This is a Rudy van Gelder recording and is one of his best.
