I am revisiting the record mats for a moment. This time I need input from the online community. Take a listen to these samples and tell me which sounds better.
Each track was recorded from Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery's Dynamic Duo LP (Verve UMV 2069). The sample is 1:09 mins of "Down By the Riverside". The horn section is bright and there is a romping bass line for qualitative analysis. Jimmy's organ is unfortunately taking a back seat.
If you have any comments post them here.
