The timeless Jazz classic finally on SACD in STEREO!

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, December 8, 2024 by PGK This is the second time that this album has been issued on SACD. The first time was in 2011 in Japan and that SACD release was in mono.

AP has released this album on SACD in stereo so now we have the best of both worlds for those who prefer one version over the other.

IMO, the stereo version on AP is THE definitive version regardless of your channel preference.

Five stars for the music and five stars for this SACD reissue.

If this is the way they are starting

5 Stars
Posted Friday, October 13, 2023 by Ed Hilston My first SACD of the Atlantic 75 series and it is fantastic. You will want to turn up the volume, no compression here. It all sounds great and if you are even considering it, pull the trigger.

Johnny Hartman - The Voice That Is

I love the voice of Johnny Hartman

5 Stars
Posted Monday, September 26, 2022 by Anonymous The voice that is the antidote to modern day stress. A lazy boy chair a glass of wine and Johnny Hartman voice and the rest is audiophile history. I have all of his SACD in my collection i recommend that you begin the process today.

Di Meola, McLaughlin, De Lucia - Saturday Night In San Francisco

Product No: CIMX 8324 SA
Available: InStock
Category: Hybrid Stereo SACD
Label: Impex

Somehow disappointed.

3 Stars
Posted Thursday, August 18, 2022 by Ruben Torres The sound is even better than the original Friday night in S. F. Al Dimeola, the less gifted player of the 3, produce the album. He made his usual circus act, and the other two play as good as usual, but somehow it lacks the magic of the first album. Anyways, if you are the kind of listener who thinks that Jazz at the Pawnshop is good jazz, this one in comparation is a masterpiece. 5 stars for the production, 3 stars for the music.

At the club

5 Stars
Posted Monday, April 4, 2022 by Brian VanPelt It is like being at the club. All the instruments sound very real. Basically, you have an upfront seat to this event. As such, all of the instruments have tremendous presence in the room. If you've ever sat near a piano at a club, you can feel a lot of the music it makes. Same goes for the drums and bass. Additionally, there is some clapping between tunes as well as some background chatter when the music is quiet. There is background rumble which is evident on track 4 if you blast the music. I had the music blasted much louder than normal. This is not as evident on the other tracks. Track 4 is completely a bass/cello solo (playing a very cool version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow).

If you keep levels loud, but not overwhelming, then you will experience no distortion or tape hiss (although this might have been recorded digitally).

The playing is very spirited with the piano left of center, the drums centered and the bass between.

Freddie Hubbard - The Artistry Of Freddie Hubbard

Product No: CIPJ 27 SA
Available: InStock
Category: Hybrid Stereo SACD
Label: Analogue Productions (Impulse)

Wow

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, March 30, 2022 by Brian VanPelt These Impulse/Analogue Productions collaborations are all insanely good. This release is no exception.

First of all, everything sounds so clear, with lots of air around instruments. The drums and cymbals are crystalline, and any brass sounds very realistic. I noticed that the pianos are slightly softened when other musicians are soloing, and then accentuated when it's time for the piano solo.

The presentation feels like it preserves the placements of the musicians, and all of the instruments sound realistic and of the right size (no cadillac sized piano for example). There is no tape hiss at all. Freddie's horn is usually in the left channel and it's well- represented. Everything sounds just right. The drums and sax are in the right channel.

I suspect that I will buy every Impulse/Analogue Productions SACD.

Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else

Product No: CBNJ 81595 SA
Available: InStock
Category: Hybrid Stereo SACD
Label: Analogue Productions (Blue Note)

Just like the record

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, January 19, 2022 by Brian VanPelt All of the instruments are very clear. The drums are on the right, the piano in the middle, and the trumpet and sax are on the left. The bass seems to be in the back, somewhere between the drums and the piano. The piano, while clear, is also a little soft, while all of the other instruments are quite vivid/sharp. The underwhelming piano is something that I believe all Rudy Van Gelder recordings had. This is the same situation with the record as well. It's not that big of a deal and, if you listen to enough Blue Note albums, you get used to it.

If you know the record, then you know what it sounds like - now imagine that without surface noise. I don't remember for sure about the record, but on this SACD the soundstage is quite spacious and 3-dimensional. The piano seems further back, while the brass and drums seem quite forward. There were times when the music seemed to stretch beyond my speakers.

Pick this up quick as they sell out fast.

Kenny Dorham - Matador

Product No: CIMX 8321 SA

Label: Impex

Awesome

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, September 26, 2021 by Brian This sound here is wonderful. There are no distortions of any kind, no tape hiss, nothing. The sound is very strong and it sounds very natural. Kenny hits notes that I don't think would play on a record player. Generally, his trumpet plays out of the left and, on at least one occasion, his notes could be eye- squintingly piercing. I take that as essentially perfect reproduction of his sound.

Overall, all of the instruments were easy to point out. The piano sounded vibrant and well-recorded. Actually, I could say that for all of the instruments. Perfect pitch, timbre, or whatever you call it. Additionally, you really feel like you are not just in the studio, but amongst the musicians.

Excellent on all accounts.

Stereo, Not Multichannel

4 Stars
Posted Wednesday, August 4, 2021 by Jeff Evosound made a mistake in the marketing of this SACD. This is a hybrid stereo SACD, not hybrid multichannel.

Duke Ellington - Masterpieces By Ellington

Product No: CAPJ 4418 SA
Available: InStock
Category: Hybrid Mono SACD
Label: Analogue Productions

Beautiful sound and now improved packaging.

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, January 29, 2017 by CJ Feeney This is a fantastic sounding disc given the age of the recording. Beauiful sounding solo instruements and the group arrangements really sing.

My original review reads as follows:

"I felt I had to deduct a star as the overall package is thin on information. Titles, composers, vocal credit to "Yvonne" but no other musician credits. Date of album recording, but not recording of bonus tracks. No recording venue stated. No explanatory notes of this albums place in Jazz history, no detail on the modern clean up and mastering."

To my surprise, a few months later Analogue Productions sent me an email asking. "If we sent you an improved set of packaging, would you re-review it?"

Wow, yes please.

The new insert includes the full band line up for each piece, more accurate recording session details and an impressive essay on the history of each piece in the years between composition in the 1930s onwards up to the 1950/51 LP recordings.

Excellent work. Fifth star well earned.

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

Fabulous!

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, November 26, 2015 by Joe Johnson The Analogue Productions mastering is the SACD version of this to own -- clearly and obviously superior to older CD and SACD versions. For once the sound is open, uncompressed, and natural rather than processed sounding. Please give us the rest of the Impulse Coltrane canon, Chad!

Another big win for MFSL

5 Stars
Posted Friday, June 12, 2015 by Jeff Just got this and compared to DSD from AS, the Columbia SACD, the K2, and all the other versions i own. This is the best. At least until the vinyl. This is the most realistic sounding, best separation, soundstage, etc. A great job on a classic deserving of a great job.

Ella Fitzgerald - Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie!

Essential Ella

5 Stars
Posted Monday, March 4, 2013 by Ralph Mazzeo Until the folks at AP decide to tackle the Ella Fitzgerald Songbooks, Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie is a wonderful alternative. As usual, AP has done a superlative SACD transfer. I have owned this disc as a regular RBCD, A Japanese RBCD Import and AP's SACD's effortless reproduction of a timeless classic has them ALL beat by a significant margin.

Very Special

Posted Monday, December 26, 2011 by MyPal This is really an amazing remaster & transfer. When can MONO actually sound better than stereo? When it transports you back to then & there. A pleasure & feel most privileged to be able to appreciate their amazing talent the way they intended it to be.

This is a great sacd

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, October 6, 2011 by Anonymous Everything was done right on this SACD. Noise is gone, yet the high tones are in tact. Mid range is well defined, instrumentation is crystal clear, and bass is in perfect balance with the rest of the sound spectrum. Could not ask for better.

Posted Tuesday, September 21, 2010 by GARCRA Out of 200 SACD's I own (mostly Jazz & Pop/Rock) this is in the top three, maybe #1. It's stunningly good music. I can't find a flaw in any aspect of this disc.
