The mastering job by Kevin Gray is exceptional. The stereo image is not too artificially re-created, with holes between left, center, and right instruments, and the instrumental tone is a big improvement from the original's.-Audiobeat
Bass player Ron Carter’s debut album Where? features Eric Dolphy (clarinet, sax, flute) and Mal Waldron (piano). The album was originally released in 1961 having been recorded at Rudy Van Gelder Studios in New Jersey.
A haunting and unusual batch of tracks from bassist Ron Carter – working here with a group that includes spiritual modernists Eric Dolphy on reeds and Mal Waldron on piano – both players who really add a lot to the set! In a way, the album's more like Dolphy's own work as a leader from the time than the sort of music usually associated with Carter – and Ron really seems to let the reedman shape the overall sound of the set with his tremendous work on alto, flute, and bass clarinet.
Carter plays a bit of cello in addition to his bass – giving the record a nicely eerie sound at points
