Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better?

I recognize that that taste in Audio chat sites is highly subjective, but those folks at AA are pretty lame. In place of consulting them I'd suggest a cold water enema.

Musical tastes aside, I'd have to agree with CW London; I had the LP version of JAP and used it as a reference for sound-staging and atmosphere. I liked the cut, Limehouse Blues, for those purposes. For me the music is pretty ho-hum too, but if my tastes ran that way, man that'd be a great example of that genre (very mellow jazz-club on a Wednesday night playing easy-listening jazz). Sorry, no ideas about the SACD versions.

Who needs JAP?! I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy just reading this discussion!!

Onhwy61 - Are you saying there is no great Scandanavian Jazz? Have you listened to the CD's by Tord Gustavsen (Norway)? Changing Places sounds pretty good to my uncultivated ears. The ECM release, Achirana, also features a Nordic bassist Arild Andersen, and is outstanding! Perhaps he's tempered by the Greek pianist.

Ah, great, I'll get right on that as I'll need a nice crop of potatos to make it through the harsh Seattle winter! Thanks for the tip! I always admired the lush harvest sprouting from James Whitmore's ears. I think he was doing a bit of cultivating in the nasal cavity's as well!

Colonoscopy? Cold Water Enema? Where can I find
these SACD's?

Since you ASSked: Both are readily available where the sun never shines.
Hard core jazz addicts got nothing on suffering over these two selections!
Dat shit'd make John Zorn on a Bose Wave with the volume at 3 O'clock seem
like sex in the afternoon with Angelina Jolie!

They killed Kenny, didn't they? That's what Cartman tells me! If they didn't, I sure wish somebody would! I can do without John Tesh as well.
