Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better?


Hi all,
I'm a newbie who just purchased his first SACD player, the Marantz SA-11. I see that there are two SACD versions of Jazz at the Pawnshop: the double disk version from First Impression Music and a single disk version from Proprius. Which is better in terms of sound quality? The single disk version has most of the songs I like. But if the double disk version has better sound quality, then that's what I'll get. Thanks.

I recognize that musical taste is highly subjective, but "Jazz At the Pawnshop" is pretty lame music. In its place I would recommend the Chesky recordings of McCoy Tyner, John Faddis or Bucky Pizzarelli. All of these are great music, well recorded and released in the the SACD format.
Onhwy61, I guess I don't have the sophistocated taste in jazz as you do, as I have been only listening to jazz for the last 20 years including the lame "Jazz at the Pawnshop" in it's original LP pressing. But thanks for the advice on the Chesky recordings.
Even if the music is "lame", I always remember the LP as one of the most magical and ambient recordings ever.

I am not sophisticated in matters of jazz either, but I think Miles Davis Kind of Blue on SACD is also pretty good.

In general, I would rather listen to good music and a great recording than great music and a bad recording, which is perhaps what defines an "audiophile".

Best wishes.
I can not speak to this disc directly but I have a few FIM discs and all are very good recordings. I have no experience with Proprius so I can not speak to the quality of their recordings. Lame or not if you like it thats all that matters.Good Luck and hope I could help.
