We love the sound of Contemporary Records — it’s our favorite jazz label by a long shot.

Roy DuNann always seems to get The Real Sound out of the sessions he recorded — amazingly realistic drum sound; full-bodied, breathy horns; lots of top-end extension; deep, note-like bass; weighty piano and so on.

RVG and Columbia make great recordings too, but none are as consistently natural as those on Contemporary.
