Title: Excellent playing makes up for poor sound quality
Product review: As Mr Watkins has pointed out, this is NOT the recording which the amazon entry claims that it is. This is a French import (based on a radio recording??) of 'Trane at Birdland. The truth is though that Eric Dolphy is the real star on this record. His two minute solo at the beginning of 'My Favorite Things' is incredible and the next eighteen minutes of the track aren't bad either. That basically sums up the album. Some standard Trane tunes with some amazing new expansions and interpretations by Dolphy and himself. I usually am not very forgiving of low sound quality but in this case, the listener is so drawn in to the music that he can ignore how poor the sound quality is. Highly recommended. (But maybe not at this price--I picked it up for 29.90 NIS (~$7))
