180g audiophile vinyl reissue, remastering by Cicely Baston at Alchemy/Air Mastering, London.
A rare 1964 American live performance by Ben Webster gets a vinyl upgrade from Pure Pleasure Records.
Ben Webster: tenor saxophone
Junior Mance: piano
Bob Cranshaw: bass
Mickey Roker: drums
Recorded by Tom diPietro live at Pio's Lodge, Rhode Island, Feb 18, 1964.
Pure Pleasure Records has done a credible job in re-mastering Ben Webster - Live At Pio's to 180-gram vinyl. Despite the unavoidable flat mix of a small club, the updated sound is balanced. The pressing has little surface noise and no hisses or pops. - Robbie Gerson, Audiophile Audition.
