Title: not the same as the original; but enjoyable never the less
Product review: I suppose it's natural to compare this release with the original classic (which, by the way, you should listen to first).The word that hits me when listening to this release is "technical". It sounds like there must be 100 horns where the original was, what, 1? Some parts seem overly cute... but it's not like it's some insult to the original. One thing I can't stand is when an artist remakes a piece of music (even their own) and it sounds the SAME. In those cases, the duplicate is implying that they are better. This version is different. It has a big band sound.Like all of the Wynton Marsalis projects, the audio quality in this release is unmatched.So, I'd recommend this release as a supplement. Don't think of it as the new kids trying to "one up" Trane and I think you can enjoy it better.
