Jazz at the Pawn Shop...

I love most Jazz and like Jazz at Pawn Shop. I missed it when it hit 30 years ago and its a disc I enjoy when played on occasion. It really shows off my system. The music lies somewhere between Benny Goodman (with a small band)and light jazz that was played in the 70's. Cornets, drums and vibes sound wonderful. Very natural and well recorded,as stated previously. However, it may not have much staying power if I played it in frequent rotation imo

John Coltrane will sell more music dead, than any of the Jazz at the Pawn Shop guys will ever sale.

Like Montejay, I kind of like it too. It is well recorded, and makes for a decent demonstration disk. The jazz music on it is just okay. Nothing great, but not bad either. And since I don't have any other jazz music like it, it is unique in my collection.

My two cents worth.

Very well recorded---live jazz with an intimate club feel ----I like it --listen for yourself and make up your own mind--

Remember folks, we all have different tastes. However if you are a fan of this
disc., check out the First Impression Music disc. It is a 24bit 100KHz
recording. The disc is using 99.9999 silver instead of aluminum.
I find the disc is superior to all other cd versions. More body, depth, detail,
etc. Only problem is it is extremely costly...$65 ouch! I just had to try it.
For me it was worth it. I find these 24bit 100KHz remasters are superb.
Many will not like the music content.
