Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Sorry, un-listenable.......2007-03-06

I'll keep this brief, since I see the noise battle has been raging. There is no excuse for the noise. Even in the car it's the popping and crackling that comes through more than the music.

I'm sorry I bought this Schaap set, but am glad to learn that the Avid label "Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert" is available on amazon. A search of on-line jazz forums indicates that is the one to buy. Save your money for the Avid release.

5 out of 5 stars Digitalization of the past.......2006-09-30

I was hesitant in writing a review of this album for the same reason other reviewers disagree with each other. I got used to vinyl reissue I bought in the 80's (one of my first jazz records; I was still in high school), and few years ago I updated my collection with this version, that includes unabridged versions of some songs, a song never released before (deemed unsalvagable for restoration!) as well as few BG's authentic comments from the era when the music was first issued on vinyl...
My first reaction was confusion. Why o why did the industry opt for digitalization I asked myself... The vinyl I bought (Croatian record under CBS licence) was so much more pleasant; noise less annoying.

But, after few listening I somehow got used to even to this edition. Am I getting used to CD's (finally!)? Or to this CD's flaws?
Or is the answer quite simple: the music is so charming and exciting that no noise can spoil it for me?
My favorite moment is Jess Stacy's piano solo during "Sing sing sing", but there are also some beautiful big band sides (with BG blowing some really expressive clarinet), trio and quartet recordings equal to anythning produced in swing style, beautiful "Honeysuckle rose" jam sassion with Lester Young, Buck Clayton and company...

Finally, I am giving it five stars (I really am a great fan of this concert), but Im really wondering how would kids who never listened to vinyl react to this controversial CD attraction? Hm. Are there new kids who appreciate vintage swing?

5 out of 5 stars Depooper.......2006-04-09

I tried the Depopper program recomended in the previous post, but no way am I going to keep those funked up files. I much prefer the imperfections of the recording. That program may eliminate the pops, but man, now it sounds like canned music inside another can wrapped in tin foil and submerged in a bubble bath. Ok, maybe not that bad, but the music certainly lost depth, and that's less acceptable than some poppage.

2 out of 5 stars Great Music Bad Disc.......2006-03-15

The arrangements are great and compare to the vinyl in content. However, the quality of the disc was totally unacceptable and it was returned for this reason. The tracks without exception had a very, very noticeable "clunk" similar to a scratched record. On some tracks it was worse and to the point the music could not be heard.

Three of the tracks that were semi-acceptable, including Sing Sing Sing, were outstanding and far exceeded some of the recreations now on the market. The major question is, "Are all of the CD's of the same poor audio quality as the one I received and returned."

5 out of 5 stars Noise or not, I love it........2006-02-14

I was very critical of Phil Schaap's Armstrong Hot 5/7 reissue, so it may seem strange that I LOVE this one. A couple of things come to mind:

1. People who are bugged out by a little surface noise can always buy the 1950s reissue of this material where it has been turned down. To me, the earlier version sounds like it's under water compared to this one, but it IS quieter.

2. If I were remastering this myself, I probably would have de-popped it. That can be done w/o affecting the clarity of the music.

3. This is the first reissue of "Sometimes I'm Happy" -- it was considered unplayable 50 years ago, and doesn't appear on the old version. Somehow, Phil got it to work.

4. The result will never sound as it did sitting in Carnegie Hall; for goodness sakes; it was recorded through a single broadcast mic sitting on the stage!! This was before the days of live recording, and it's a miracle the acetate document exists at all!

These people complaining about a little noise have no idea what they're really listening to. Though it's not the cleanest product, it is indeed the clearest. Unfortunately, we can't have it both ways. I'll opt for more music every time.
