5.0 out of 5 stars Good music, bad CD., July 4, 2002
By 
Alexandre Mihanovich (São Paulo - SP Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Opening Night (Audio CD)
The music is beyond comments, it's absolutely great and unquestionable. Thad Jones is one of the greatest arrangers ever, period. This is the original band, Hank Jones on piano, and it's a killer band, maybe the best jazz big band ever. But the CD I got is terrible. The actual artifact I bought is very poorly made, probably with cheap materials and so on. Track 12 doesn't play well, it's full of errors, and in the case I try it on the computer, it simply ejects the CD. I extracted track 12 on another computer and the audio file itself contains the errors, very weird. Never seen this before. So it's very irritating because it's a historic event, imagine the first night of this band at the Vanguard, and so I had to contain my impulses of throwing the CD out the window when I reached track 12, which is nothing less than "A Little Pixie" (on the CD as "The Little Pixie"), the track I've been waiting desperately for during the previous tracks. I hope it's just this CD...

4.0 out of 5 stars Acceptable sound, strong performance, September 15, 2003

This review is from: Opening Night (Audio CD)
My disc was not defective. But while "Little Pixie" played fine, it does fade out before the end, so the band never reaches its full climax. Oh, well. Still an important document.
