Title: Great jazz, not a multi-channel SACD = disappointing
Review: I recently purchased a DVD changer from Sony that can play Super Audio CDs (SACD). Intrigued I bought a few, including this one. The jazz is excellent, but this SACD is *NOT* multi-channel, one of the great features of some other SACDs I've purchased = it only plays in 2.1 stereo and therefore does not utilize rear surround channels. Compare this with the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon or Herbie Hancock Head Hunters albums on SACD, both of which have separated tracks (eg; instruments, vocals on the former) which play across 5.1 channels which is a surreal, wonderful, SURROUND sound audio experience - as if different band members were sitting in different spots around you on a stage. If I had to repurchase, I would stick to the normal CD for this album. At least that way you can play it in any CD player and burn it, which you can't do with this SACD version.
Is the review positive or negative?
