Ted Curson & Bill Barron Quintet - Now, Hear This!!

I must start by saying how proud i am to be a part of The Crypt.  Looking down this main page I see a list of wonderfully rare and solid sides.  I also see a community which reaches out to say something, which makes this place a cut above.  Everybody should be really pleased with how redux has turned out, both followers and authors.

Now... much like Impulse! was breaking their modern mold by recording an artist like Basie, Audio Fidelity also enjoyed shaking things up.  Like all of their recordings from this era, this album is a stone cold classic.  As far as Curson and Barron go, this is one of my favorites and arguably one of their best sides.

For anyone lucky enough to be landing on these artists for the first time, buckle up!!  This is a duo of jazz legend - think Morgan/Shorter, Henderson/Shaw or Farmer/Golson.  Now, Hear This! stands up as a bop influenced classic with gorgeous playing and interaction from the entire group.  It's a must hear, so rather than reading my seemingly limitless blathering... grab it and sit down!

The blog formerly known as the Crypt - reduxless that is - had a wonderful archive of Ted Curson and Bill Barron.  Infact, I may be wrong but I think Chris and KC had amassed all of their studio sides.  Hopefully we can bring back a bit of that glory here in reduxland.  This album was ripped from my minty and flawless LP at 24/44.1 wav, and dithered to 16/44.1 FLAC... enjoy!!!

    Thanks PC! This looks really fine. I have quite a bit of Curson but very little Barron.

    Audio Fidelity albums are worth picking up for their sound alone. And if there's men like Curson and Barron on it, what more to ask? Many thanks, poppa!
