Performance: Sonics: |
| This disc is simply a joy to listen to. The production is typical Chesky Records... which means that it is perfect for the high resolution that SACD offers. Listening in multi-channel, the musicians seem to spread out a bit and can each be heard more clearly. Unfortunately, the center channel is vacant. I'm not sure what the reason is for this... perhaps Chesky is just not ready for the full 5.1 treatment. Or perhaps they couldn't get that center channel to sound just right. And obviously you're not going to hear all sorts of fancy rear channel effects - just a bit of ambience, which is fine by me. None the less, this SACD is a wonderful Lee Konitz jazz outing. I recommend this to anyone with even just a passing interest in Jazz - Lee Konitz is one of the few living masters of Jazz that continues to surprise every time he plays his horn.
