Fantastic disk with which to demo your SACD audio system. Start with Clooney, which has the original mono sound through the center channel and watch the reactions when it broadens to a modern 5.1 version. Then play 'Watermelon Man'. Jaws will drop.

Nice jazz sampler should appeal to most tastes in mainstream jazz since it's not too funky or free-style. What's the real kicker here is the SACD quality. Certainly not what I would call a great test cd but still good for amazing friends with the detailed sonics and tight bass lines and realistic voices in the room effects.

I am very pleasure when I heard this SACD, all the sound is clear and the multichannel works like a different instruments places around my room.

I rate 5 star for the music, 5 star for sound quality and 4 star for surround mix. I'm not disappoint when listen to this album, each track on this album is very well selected.

I enjoy even when I listen with red book player. The CD layer also very good when compare to SACD layer.

One of my favorite album.

Great sounding CD. I haven't even heard it on an SACD player, but the regular cd format sounds superb.

A good mix of songs too.

Love the sound of this SACD Jazz Sampler. The SACD playback through my highend headphones system sounds spectacular as well as my 5.1 surround. The minute I heard this album, I had to get a hand on one. Highly Recommended.

Sonics and song selectons to be endlessly enjoyed. I have listened and enjoyed this CD over and over sharing it with real audiophiles and other friends who also loved it.

This is a really good sampler for those who are introducing in Jazz world, the standards are popular and easy listening, as the Sonny Rollins Airgin version with some latino touch. Recommended.

very good compilation.

sound quality on SACD is first rate.

I'm not a jazz fan, but purchased this SACD for testing the performance of my new SACD & DVDA player. I own a lot of DVD audio discs, but this one is my first SACD.

Sound is good and well separated on the analogue 6 channel output designed for playing such a disc. But the music taste of the disc producer is strictly a jazz taste which doesn't meet that of a lot of music listeners. Beija-Flor, Come with me and Watermelon man are fantastic.

As a conclusion, it's a reliable SACD sampler but not comparable to DVDA which has almost the same sound fidelity, and include further videos, lyrics, photos and interviews.
