Listen to this over Miles Davis recording and over
2 of 2 found this helpful What can I say? This is one of the most popular and famous jazz recording of all time and for good reasons. The musicians are all superb and the recording itself is excellent. The main thing for me is the listening pleasure. I play this one regularly and frequently. Many important and great recordings are good to have in your collection but like books on a shelf you may not pick them up frequently, they are just good to have. "Kind of Blue" is different. You will enjoy it over and over. If you enjoy jazz and don't have "Kind of Blue" in your collection get it now. It will stay on top of the stack.

Andrea Motis/Joan Chamorro Group - Live at Jamboree Barcelona
Like it? I LOVE IT. Andrea Motis has studied music since early childhood but does the standards with her own fresh style and grace, bringing to it her own special talents both as a singer and instrumentalist. The feeling and appreciation that she has for the music and lyrics are obviously genuine. Without substantially changing anything she still manages to make each every number her own. The Joan Chamorro Group is one of the best and to add an extra touch of pure enjoyment we get the tenor sax solos of Scott Hamilton, a seasoned professional that is absolutely one of the very best in this genre. To make things even better, this CD also includes a DVD of the performances. The overall audio recording and video of these live performances is very good and gives you the feeling that you are seated at a table up front. Highly recommended.

Nice but needed tip correction
Even though it is priced like a student mouthpiece these are usually well reviewed. I was disappointed that my mouthpiece had a facing that was a little off. It was not cut in plane with the baffle resulting in a corner at the tip being different on one side than the other. I noticed it immediately when putting the reed on. A quick visual inspection at Yamaha should have rejected this one. Even a beginning player could have seen it wasn't done right. I bought it as a "New Open Box" item. Probably someone bought it, opened the boxed and immediately exchanged it for another at the store. Otherwise it was new. I doubt anyone even tried to play it. I'm an experienced player, and fortunately have the skills and tools needed to correct the defect which I did. It played, but not perfectly, until I made the correction. After doing the tip facing correction, which also opened up the tip a little as result, it plays very well on my vintage Conn 12M baritone sax. It has a good tone and is now easy to play top to bottom. I have high regard for the quality or Yamaha products from past experience. Yamaha probably has full confidence in their automated manufacturing, so maybe they don't do much inspection. There are probably more of these out there that are less than perfect, but still "playable". I would recommend only buying one that you can return if it is less than perfect on the facing cut and especially at the tip. Get a perfect one and it may surprise you how good these can be for the price. When right they are as good as some mouthpieces costing much more, but make certain it is perfect when you buy or that you can return it if it is not. Correcting or modifying a facing must be done by someone with experience and the proper tools. Otherwise the cost to have this done can exceed the cost of the mouthpiece itself. In the end however, I have a great sounding and playing mouthpiece that is now slightly customized and better than new.
