Title: Sound Warning!
Product review: I'm too much of a neophyte jazz listener to add anything to the other reviews regarding the actual performance. But for a "remastered" version, the sound quality leaves much to be desired (hence the 4 stars). I'm guessing they used the master tape for a clothesline at some point. The overall sound quality is clear and full, but there are lots of glitches. In particular, there is the occasional sound fart in "St. Thomas" and "Strode Rode", and about 2 minutes into "Moritat", the ambience changes for about 40 seconds, which I can best describe as having a somewhat weaker left channel.Although distracting, by no means should this discourage you from buying this essential CD, but you may want to be on the lookout for (or lobby for) a re-remastered version.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
