Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Anyone know what Vol. ?

Damn those Swedes for including ONE so called "Dixieland" tune in a collection of live performances that could only be called "Mainstream" by the most uneducated Jazz listeners.The majority of the performances on those discs are standards or Jazz originals,some decades removed from the 1920's penned "Struttin' with some BBQ".Far from the most compelling recordings by either Arne Domnerus or Bengt Hallberg,these two fine players have been honing their craft in the shadows of the great Americans since the early 1950's and have a trove of outstanding recordings to prove it.I thought we were beyond the debilitating arrogance of "American Jazz" and that we are sharing our amazing gift with the world and embracing those that are true to the art,making it a truly international music that originated in the United States.The ugly American has returned.

Note to self...true Dixieland is for assholes.

hmm . . . I started watching this thread with interest in picking up the JatPS. It's turned into one of the more entertaining threads this year though . . .

I've heard an LP and an SACD of J@PS in succession. IMO the SACD delivers the sense of ambience as well as the LP, and both are great at portraying that sense. Funny, though, I never would have characterized the music as Dixieland. I'll listen to it again with that in mind.

I recieved my J@PS cd today and warmed up the tubes on my Almarro 318B. After 30 min. I inserted the disc and was not dissapointed. The imaging was beautiful. The music was very pleasing. In the intro of most of the songs the music didn't overwhelm the audiance and the atmosphere was holographic. Very soothing. Thanks to all for helping in my decision. If you like this type of music, I would recommend this album to anyone.
