Wrapped Up Funk

 

Brother Jack McDuff - Moon Rappin' [BST 84334 DEU 2022 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Kicking off a Sunday with the funkier side of Blue Note - originally released in 1970, big band leader Jack McDuff delivers five stunning, organ driven numbers brought back to life by Kevin Gray's all analogue mastering. You would usually pay about a tenner more for a high end release like this but Blue Note save a few pennies by using a more standard jacket and the cheaper pressing plant at Optimal in Germany rather than RTI or QRP, however Gray's mastering skills add extra value, especially when that kick drum literally kicks in!

You won't find a better sounding twenty quid record anywhere else these days.
