In Ken Burn's "Jazz" Wynton Marsalis was quite articulate on the subject. The edge is jazz's basis in the blues. Mr. Marsalis was referring to Louis Armstrong, a man who smiled and jived on stage, but in real life carried switchblade which he was quick to pull. Jazz can take on many different forms, but underneath the surface the is the sharp edge of the blues. Duke Ellington expressed it slightly differently - "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing." He was talking about the same thing.
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.
