Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better?

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!

chazro you are right, of course not all the GRP and Chesky's are bad but there is plenty of mediocrity and some that are down right dogs on both labels, I own some and can attest to it first hand. I've personally thought of JATP for what it is, a great recording of local musicians at a small jazz venue, been to plenty of them and this set is no better or worse than many sets I've heard in such venues. No, it isn't great jazz for sure but it really is quite listenable for the casual listener if not the enthusiast and a definite thumbs up for audiophiles to hear a really terrific example of well recorded music in such a venue.

I remember when JATP meant Jazz At the Philharmonic.

Re-viving an older thread here;
which SACD label do you guys prefer?
