JAZZ AT THE PAWNSHOP *Hybrid SACD5.1*

A classic example of some of the great potential of live recorded jazz is given new vitality and soul in this remastered SACD release from First Impressions. The CD booklet includes ten pages of notes on Proprius Records, recording techniques in general, and this recording in particular.

'The wonderfully craftedproduction and mastering on this SACD resurrect this work, andplace it back in the first rank of live jazz recordings. From theopening seconds, when the sound of The Pawnshop crowdemerges, you are drawn into that moment, many years ago, whenthe open reel machine was spinning and some real audio magic wasmade. The sheer sense of ease, of naturalness...the incrediblesoundstaging and imaging...the *trueness and rightness* ofpercussives, rhythm, dynamics, and timbre...struck my ear withreal force.'
