I have several Eighty-Eights and along with great talent and wonderful performances in a live setting the sonics are really top tier and in some instances challenging.

Tip:

Eighty-Eights can be expensive (in the $50 range as they [the ones I have] are imported from Japan. But I have purchased them at practically half price including shipping. Here's what I've done. I go to SA-CD.net net, click on amazon.com for vendors. You see that the price is $51. But then you go to where it says copies available "new and used". If they have what you are looking for "MusicJapan.JP" will be listed. They have sold me Eighty-Eights for $26 for a new version. And the service is super fast---a couple of days.

MusicJapan.JP actually has quite a few titles (actually thousands) including SACDs and hard to get Extons. But they can't seem to sell them cheaply unless there is an Amazon.com link.

By the way, I just listened to the "Great Jazz Trio" again. Man I'm impressed. And Patitucci is back in the running for MVP. But the authenticity of Hakim's drums/symbols are something I have never experienced outside of a jazz venue. And Jones is *so* masterful with tempos. He clearly is the head man in charge.
