Title: what's wrong with the recording engineers at Blue Note?
Review: The good news is that Chucho Valdes put some very interesting latin-flavored jazz songs on this CD. Based solely on the songs on the CD I would give this CD 4 or 5 stars. Unfortunately, the sound quality of this CD is extremely poor in comparison to other CDs: the sound is extremely muted and lacking in energy, clarity and sound stage. Compared to vibrant live recordings, like "Dee Dee Bridgewater Live at Yoshi's," you have to wonder what's wrong with the folks at Blue Note.
Is the review positive or negative?
