I'm listening to a disc from the SACD set now. It's true that the soloists are mic'd more directly and "louder," but the bass and drums don't seem "deeply buried in the mix" to me. . . it sounds like many a real club performance I've heard where the horns are mic'd more than the rest of the band. Certainly studio recordings of this Quintet have bass and drums more prominent.
Love this one.
A warm and drizzly morning! Going to be a rainy day. I’ll dream away when I can.
Starting off with a re-listen to this disc from yesterday as it sounds SO good and the system is warming up with it nicely.
