Bill Evans: At the Montreux Jazz Festival    (3 of 4 found this review helpful)
  May 26, 2008

This is the 1968 Bill Evans trio (Eddie Gomez, bass, Jack DeJohnette, drums) in top form, IMHO his best recording from the late 60's. There is great interplay between Evans as Eddie Gomez, almost like with Scott LaFaro in the early 60's. The recording was made by Swiss radio technicians and sounds ... more
Art Pepper: The Way It Was!    (3 of 3 found this review helpful)
  March 25, 2008

Having another Art Pepper Contemporary album on SACD is great, but the choice of this album is unexpected and questionable, because it is a 1972 compilation of previously unreleased material, released during Pepper's long hiatus. It is comprised of a 1956 session with Warne Marsh and several ... more
Lee Konitz: DiG DuG DoG    (3 of 3 found this review helpful)
  March 7, 2008

This early (1999) single layer SACD release has now become a rare item. I bought it recently at a normal price ($20) on Ebay. The disc comes in a thick digipak box and an japanese/english booklet. It's great to finally have the lyrics to "Body and Soul" and "I got it bad and that ain't good" .... ... more
Boulez Conducts Ravel    (4 of 4 found this review helpful)
  February 6, 2008

Because many early Sony SACD releases are getting hard to find, I recently ordered this SACD (from Caiman), although I did not expect to hear a big sonic upgrade from the 4CD set I have of Boulez' Ravel recordings for Columbia (released by Sony France in 2002). But I was wrong, and I listened to ... more

  December 29, 2007

This low price sampler is an ideal way to explore the "2+2+2" recording philosophy of the MDG label (www.222sound.ch). The longest track on the 60 minute disc is the first movement from the Schumann piano concerto. The disc also contains 3 tracks from MDG productions (Schütz, Vivaldi, Rubinstein) ... more

I have 16 Alia Vox SACDs. I checked them again and noticed that only the older recordings mention 24/96 PCM recording: [t=293] (1998) [t=294] (1999) [t=295] (2000) The later recordings don't say anything about the technology. ... more
