Webster is a Jazz musician known for his superior command of the tenor

Skipping
trying any kind of multi-channel mix, the DSD 2.0 Stereo sounds fine for a
recording of its age with a fullness, warmth and detail you would expect from a
top rate Jazz/Blues recording of the ti9me and yes, he plays so well. When you hear this in DSD and SA-CD, you can
appreciate the musicianship even more. The
PCM 2.0 Stereo tracks are not bad, but you miss the full sound imaging at only
16Bits/44.1 kHz. That is why SA-CD is
always such a pleasure to experience.
