dissapointing audiophile recording

I am going to be very honest I really don't take to kindly to your statement "white folks jazz" hey Imus see it works both ways.

Viridian, "white folks jazz" as opposed to what other "kind" of jazz?

Schipo, my appologies, there was no intent to offend. But the correct quote would be "white folks jazz lite". Audphile 1, as opposed to mainstream jazz, modal jazz, fusion, latin jazz, free jazz or any other category of jazz.

Viridian, so "white folks jazz lite" is a category of jazz?
Is this like Eminem vs Dr.Dre or Eminem and Dr.Dre vs Coolio?

Sorry if I'm a pain, but I am just trying to picture what this category of jazz is all about.

Over the years I have fallen prey to many recordings that deliver less than inspiring music with stellar sonics. I agree with others that this happens most frequently with the Jazz and pop offerings from audiophile record companies. This supports the notion that putting together a great recording involves more than mere technical proficiency at either the performance or production levels. It seems to involve a variety of aesthetic decisions during performance and recording that are most effective at presenting the soul of the music. To make an analogy, I would rather behold a tarnished piece of silver than a highly polished buffalo chip.
My dirty half dozen would be:
1. Reference Recordings: Blazing Redheads
2. Sheffield Recordings: Growing Up in Hollwood Town
3. Crystal Clear: San Francisco Ltd.
4. Proprius: Jazz at the Pawnshop
5. Chesky: New York Reunion
6. Mapleshade: Sunny
None of these recordings is terrible, just way less than the sum of their parts.
