A wonderful addition to my library
There's clearly a reason this is referred to as a landmark moment for jazz in history. On first listen, my reaction was, "Oh my gosh, this is good!" On the DXD copy to which I'm listening, the opening cut with the Red Allen All-Stars is just delicious: warm, detailed, extended frequencies, good bite in the trumpet... Oh, yes. And I will treasure having this recording of Billie Holiday's "Fine and Mellow". When Lester Young enters on the second saxophone solo, there is simply magic going in this performance. The mastering volume level is perhaps a touch low, so give it a bit of your volume control a bit of boost to get the full impact of this wonderful transfer.
Disappointing...
Let me introduce the fact, i used to listen to former release (with only 4 tracks), directly transfered in dsd128. An absolute best. Anyway... Now, we got redux version... With substantially better sonics, that's it ? I feel sorry to say tracks 1, 2, 6 and 8 are now dull and flat. Comparison is awful (in my poor personal opinion). The good thing is, missing tracks are... Fine. Huge surprise, how is that possible ? Tremendous addition to me, thank you, but new buyers will miss the perfect flavour of other ones. Oh... and I forgot this : i realize you don't care about what customers write, ok, but i still have to rewrite what i said in my previous review : THIS IS NOT THE DEC. 8th TELEBROADCAST ! THIS COMPLETE SET WAS RECORDED ON DEC. 4th IN CBS 30th STREET STUDIO. THIS IS NO LIVE SESSION BUT A REHEARSAL DONE BY COLUMBIA ! Can't you pay attention to what your passionate afficionados declare ?
