Rava, Fresu, Bollani, Pietropaoli, Gatto: Shades Of Chet
This recording is of great class: All instruments can be clearly located on the virtual stage and have the right bodies. The versatility of these five exceptional musicians, such as the emphasis on each note or the professional playout of each melody line and their interaction, make listening a gripping experience. This recording is great, world class.
