has anybody any information about what these "supreme jazz" multichannel reissues sound like?
obviously the multichannel is artificially fabricated, but i wonder how the results stand up sonically?

Hi!
I haven't heard that specific recording from Chet Baker but I bought the Ella Fitzgerald release on "supreme jazz" and I was extremely disapointed. The sound is very compressed, Fitzgerald's voice is greatly altered...the whole thing sounds arttificial, "metallic". Very annoying. Any decent RBCD sounds a LOT better!

If you look at the Supreme Jazz Sarah Vaughan reviews you will
get I think an idea of what this entire series is like. Not
very high quality in terms of sound considering they are being
sold as SACDs.

BTW, the source material is not even stereo, but mono. These are Chet Baker recordings from before 1956.
The whole Supreme Jazz series is useless. The only difference with other public domain reissues (most of them dubbed from existing CD reissues) is that they are SACDs, which obviously does not make sense from a technical point of view, when the source material is limited to redbook resolution.
