JATP is far from the worst example of mediocre jazz. At least it is a great recording if rather tame if not lame, certainly not so bad if not for the sophisticated jazz listener, the guys that can listen to Coltrane for 8 hrs straight without a break for fear of missing something:) Onhwy61 I suggest you might try listening to some of the tripe put out by Chesky or GRP from the 80's if you haven't, but you probably have so you know.
In any case I haven't heard the SACD of either but it does beg the question, How good does mediocrity have to sound?:)
