THE MODERN JAZZ QUARTET/L. ALMEIDA - - - "Collaboration" - Atlantic 1964

"The MJQ (vibraphonist Milt Jackson, pianist John Lewis, bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Connie Kay) were joined for this 1964 session by the great acoustic guitarist Laurindo Almeida, and the music is very memorable. Their version of "One Note Samba" (which starts out with Almeida playing unaccompanied) is a classic, the guitarist fits into the four John Lewis compositions quite comfortably, and "Concierto de Aranjuez" is given a lengthy and inventive treatment." - AMG.

Fantastic imaging - almost 3-D on some cuts. Each instrument is very highly detailed and have natural tonality. The soundstage is wide and deep and has strong imaging with 'air' and presence surrounding each instrument.
Surface noise is very slight and only on very quiet passages A few seconds of audible 'crackle' towards the end of Side 2.
