Well, here is an album I can really comment on in terms of sound quality, as I've heard them live this year twice. Which, given I'm in Perth Australia and they're a Swedish Jazz outfit is somewhat remarkable!
Anyways, this is a lovely warm recording. Its very smooth and missing the harsh mid-band that you find from Bose speakers at a live gig. However, there is also a little of the live sparkle missing.
Overall, the result is something as enjoyable as the live gig, in fact for me, the warm balance to the sound is much preferable and I wish this was the sound being piped through the speakers at the gig.
The music is really fantastic and we are very lucky to be able to get this album on SACD, it came with a sticker on it saying it was German Jazz album of the year.. I'm not suprised.
Daniel.
PS. On Jazz I am very hard, being a sphere I am very familiar with. 4 stars is a very strong effort.
