Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better?

So.......what do you guys think of Kenny G?

They killed Kenny, didn't they? That's what Cartman tells me! If they didn't, I sure wish somebody would! I can do without John Tesh as well.

JATP is far from the worst example of mediocre jazz. At least it is a great recording if rather tame if not lame, certainly not so bad if not for the sophisticated jazz listener, the guys that can listen to Coltrane for 8 hrs straight without a break for fear of missing something:) Onhwy61 I suggest you might try listening to some of the tripe put out by Chesky or GRP from the 80's if you haven't, but you probably have so you know.

In any case I haven't heard the SACD of either but it does beg the question, How good does mediocrity have to sound?:)

No GRPs, but several CTIs.

Always surprised at the general bad rap Chesky, CTI, & GRP usually generate. I can certainly recognize a lot of the dogs these companies released (sometimes by very respectable artists!), but all these companies also've released quite a few exemplary records. I've seen this negative opinion expressed elsewhere also, is it human nature to recognize the negative above the positive?

I've always thought that JATP is for people who know nothing of true Jazz, they think this is what Jazz sounds like but really, what a snoozefest!
