Sonny Rollins - Way Out West (1957) [2011 SACD]

A true jazz classic album has now been released as an SHM-SACD.
This is an incredible good transfer. It outperforms the Doug Sax SACD issued by Analogue Productions by far. And it doesn't have this fake added reverb to it, as the AP SACD has.
The sound is incredible open, smooth, analogue, with textures in spades. All the instruments has so much body and presence to them, it's almost scary. I can't think of this digital transfer can be topped. ~by Espen R February
