Gene Harris Quartet: Listen Here!        (2 of 2 found this review helpful)
  December 18, 2008

Definitely agree with the other reviewers that this is a great album...one of my favourite tracks is the one that lends itself to the name of the album- Listen Here! A great piece of jazz that is going to be one of my all time favourite tracks among all the jazz CDs I own. The whole album is great ... more
Dave Brubeck Quartet: Time Out      (2 of 2 found this review helpful)
  April 30, 2008

A very good album and great music as the reviewers here have emphasised...just two things to emphasise: As with the Columbia Records Kind of Blue, this Columbia release is understated in its use of MC...More for ambiance or to create space around instruments rather than the music is coming from all ... more
Monty Alexander: Rocksteady          (6 of 6 found this review helpful)
  November 27, 2007

I was originally put off by what I thought to be a "cheesy" cover; two grown men playing cowboys, but I decided to pick up the CD when I saw it on sale. I was very pleasantly surprised by this album. It is jazz with Jamaican grooves. The album also claims to have western themes (hence the cowboy ... more
Du temps & de l'instant - Jordi Savall        (2 of 2 found this review helpful)
  February 12, 2007

Even if you don't care for classical music that much, this is a good album to have if you are looking for something that has a Loreena McKennit/new age flavour with an international twist. The sounds and melodies are from a selection of different countries and the music is sublime and ... more
Gene Harris, Scott Hamilton: At Last        (2 of 2 found this review helpful)
  February 12, 2007

I think this is a great jazz SACD...I tried to pick one up about a year ago based on the review I saw here, but the one album my vendor had was sold before I could get to it. So I only recently got one and yes I think this album certainly deserves more attention and could easily compete both in ... more

January 22, 2010
Thanks for the replies...I think it's the FIM issues that seem a bit overpriced...I don't know if that is because of quality or something else...the proprius box set seems to be more reasonably priced than the one FIM disc. ... more
Help with Jazz at the Pawnshop?
January 20, 2010
I was wondering if anyone could help sort the differences between the Jazz at the Pawnshop SACDs that are available out there. I realise that most audiophiles interested in Jazz recommend the album(s)but there seem to be issues and reissues from the same label and from different labels. Some are quite reasonably priced whereas others are quite ... more
Any recommendations for great "traditional" jazz?
December 24, 2008
Again thanks for the recent suggestions-I hadn't thought of chesky recordings thinking they were mostly classical or something...I read the reviews of the Bucky Pizzarelli: Swing Live and I think I will definitely get it...the price from amazon uk from us sellers seems like a bargain. ... more

Any recommendations for great "traditional" jazz?
December 18, 2008
I was just wondering if anybody out there has some recommendations for good traditional Jazz SACDs-keeping in mind the following criteria: -The Jazz has to be traditional;bluesy/swinging/ballads (Ray Brown/Gene Harris type Jazz)/no modern/no fusion -studio recordings of trios and quartets preferred;feels more intimate/no orchestral Jazz -The ... more
