Jazz at the Pawnshop


I bought this a few years ago but only played it for the first time today as I heard the music wasn't that great despite it being an audiophile's reference. It is actually pretty good. My question is this: Do other Agoners think the recording is quite bass-heavy?

Not bass heavy at all. Nothing like Swedes cutting loose on Dixieland jazz.

Agreed.  I have this in almost every LP version ever done.  I still really enjoy listening to it.  Thanks for the reminder.  I'm going to listen to it this evening.
too white-bread for me

nicely recorded tho, and I use it as a test record
Had this LP for longer than I can remember. Not exactly the most involving, but it's really quite good and the recording is excellent. I'd give it a B+ overall. It does get knocked as a great recording of crap material. Not so at all, IMO. 
Hi noromance,

The FIM K2HD CD is quite good. No bass heaviness playing on my system right now. I use it as a periodic test of how well my system handles mid-bass harmonics and lower-bass tautness/tunefulness. Big macro-dynamics in the acoustic bass and kick drum, but tight and powerful.

My only gripe is that the xylophone solo on track 2 is over 6 feet wide...

Best to you noromance,
Dave
Hmmm, I find the bass very full on the copy I have (180gram). Other records played before and after this one indicated there was nothing untoward going on with the rig. Dave, yes very wide xylophone and warm and shimmery!
