wolff Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 (edited) Tonight I played an original of Blakey's Freedom Rider and Classic's re-issue of Stitt Blows the Blues. Great music and very good sound. Then I put on Zoot Sims and the Gershwin Brothers and was really struck by how real his sax sounded compared to the other LP's. Laughable. No contest, period. Once again, it was like walking into a jazz club. Big, full and rich. Close to real dynamic range. The other two sound too bright, with no midrange weight and EXTREMLY limited dynamics and recovery of detail. Sorry to talk about sound so much, but when it enables me experience/enjoy the music at a higher level I recognize it's importance. Blue Note's and Verve's have better music, but not sound.

sidewinder Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 I have that LP and this post is a good prompt to shake the cobwebs off it and give it a well-needed spin.. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
