Live in Japan ReviewPlease note, this is a review of the sound quality not the music.
When a disk costs over $40, it should be very special. And while the music here is, the sound quality is not. I remember the days when clipping waves on a Jazz disk was absolutely forbidden; no mastering engineer (even the bad ones) would even consider doing something like that. Not so anymore. Although Jazz disks have a way to go to catch up to rock and pop in terms of loudness, disks like this show that they are on their way. Now, the problems on this disk only occur during the fortes (prolly 10-15% of the disk), but when they do occur they occur with a vengeance. The flow of the music is interrupted, and you start noticing things you should be thinking about while listening to music, like sound quality. But when the distortion and clipping and dynamic range compression really kick in, that's exactly what jumps into my mind.
If you don't care about sound quality, or you'll be listening to this with stock earbuds on an ipod while riding a noisy bus, then buy this disk. But if you do care about sound quality, I would caution against buying this disk. $50 for a jazz cd with clipping and distortion is just silly, imo.
