Today I learned that Sony/BMG in Sweden has deleted all their jazz SACD´s except Kind of blue. Apparently the rest of Europe will do the same. (?)
By the way, I want to buy Brubeck´s Time out and as I understand it there are two versions on SACD. One multi channel and one two channel. How am I supposed to know which one is surround when ordering on line? They have the same number.
There're at least 3 versions of "Time Out"....stereo, stereo/multi-channel, and the stereo/multi-channel hybrid (CD layer is HDCD-encoded). There's also a "newer" version of the multi-channel single-layer SACD with a new cardboard slipcase.

The stereo-only version was released at the beginning in 1999. It is long out of print.
The only versions currently in circulation are the single layer multichannel SACD (quite rare in Europe) and the more recent hybrid multichannel SACD. Online stores will always identify single layer discs as such, for compatibility reasons.
Single layer: Dave Brubeck Quartet: Time Out
Hybrid SACD: Dave Brubeck Quartet: Time Out

I'm into SACD since around 2002, and get most of my classical music on it now. I've never been much into jazz before I moved to SACD. Then, for scarcity of SACDs to listen to, I instituted a policy of sweeping my then local Philadelphia Tower Records -- I'd get at least the same number of non-classical discs as I'd get the classical ones, and I'd get at least one completely unknown SACD based on its cover only. :)
Thus I got a few jazz SACDs, and was amazed at the sound. I believe that jazz is more suitable for SACD than any other current media. In a Miles Davis recording, I could hear him walk across the stage. Also, little sounds made by fingers brushing against the instruments, breathing, etc., all come out awesomly on SACD, highlighting improvisation.
If I were to embark on a systematic exploration of jazz on SACD, which sequence of say the first 10 discs would you recommend? Then, the next ten? :)
Cheers,

Guys I just stumbled across this site. I'm an audiophile with a very hi end system and one of the best sounding sacd players by EMM Labs called the CDSA SE. I have most of the SACD titles listed here and many others. Most of the Acoustic Sound jazz SACDs, Coltrane, Rollins, Miles, many many Rudy Van Gelder re-issues and XRCD of Art Pepper etc. The best sounding SACD that I ever heard is by Concord. It's call "Out of Site" by Poncho Sanchez. Its Latin Jazz and nothing except the two original Sonny Rollins SACD from the early days of SACDs. Buy it, it will blow you away by the end of track 3 you'll have a shit face smile.
Equipment:
Jadis two pc PreAmp, Audience AR-T6, all Valhalla cables, Kimber PK!0 Paladium power cables, VTL S-400 Amp, B&W 802Ds,

SORRY, SORRY, Poncho Sanchez "Conga Blue", not Out of Site. Both good but "Conga Blue" wins.
