@Olson_jr. This recording is difficult to listen to from the first note played on track one. I was going to buy the vinyl on faith but will hold off doing so. Not sure I understand if this was engineered this way or master to have this thick sound that doesn't let the recorded material prevail.

It certainly sounds 'off' to me when listening to Qobuz. None of the reviews mention the sound quality & some folks at the Steve Hoffman think it sounds fine?
I just put it on my FiiO to have a listen in the car while I run some errands.
Also listening to qobuz via roon. Feel like I need to turn the treble all the way up. This doesn't sound like Greg Calbi's other mastered work. Even the cymbals on the drum kit sound veiled.
I let Dave know. I am sure he will see this and respond and fix it.
Oh, and here is Dave's EMAIL too.

On Tidal, a 1994 release from Ellis Marsalis.
From the AllMusic review by Scott Yanow:
"For this CD, veteran pianist Ellis Marsalis performs songs composed by some of the top modern New Orleans players of the 1960s, including drummer James Black, tenor saxophonist Nat Perrilliat, clarinetist Alvin Batiste, saxophonist Harold Battiste, and himself. With the exception of Alvin Batiste's tunes (based on "Cherokee" and a Dixieland-ish blues), the originals have strong melodies, slightly tricky chord structures, and sound quite fresh. Marsalis utilizes his son, Branford, on tenor and soprano; bassist Robert Hurst; and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts; the young Jason Marsalis sits in on drums during two numbers. Ellis Marsalis is in particularly inventive form on this unusually obscure material."

@Olson_jr Interesting to see if you will get a response. I also reached out to SterlingSound.I let Dave know. I am sure he will see this and respond and fix it.
