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.
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.
