Chesky Records: SACD327 http://www.chesky.com/core/details.cfm?productcode=SACD327 * Jimmy Cobb: drums * Roy Hargrove: trumpet, flugelhorn * Ronnie Mathews: piano * Peter Washington: bass Homepage ~~~~~~~~ http://www.jimmycobb.net/ About ~~~~~ http://www.jimmycobb.net/solowork.html Review ~~~~~~ http://www.audaud.com/article.php?ArticleID=3166 By John Henry It\'s a kick to receive a great jazz hi-res disc; the classical genre sort of has the 4000+ SACD releases so far covered. I\'ve been listening to a lot of the RVG remasters recently, and while they sound the best they ever have, they\'re not hi-res. Many are just mono - deep, rich mono but still mono. So hearing the almost holographic realism of Chesky\'s DSD recordings is a real pleasure. And when the playing is at this Olympian level it\'s even better (and contradicts that old audiophile dictum of \"best sound, worst music\"). If you haven\'t heard of Jimmy Cobb you should know that he\'s had a six-decade career and played on both Miles Davis\' classic Kind of Blue as well as Sketches of Spain. He was recently the drummer on Chesky\'s SACDs New York Time and West of 5th. The Grammy-winning trumpeter has been described as one of the most versatile brass players in the mold of Wynton Marsalis. Hargrove has a wonderfully rich tone and is able to stretch out some very creative solos during the generally laid-back tempi of many of the tracks. Pianist Mathews played with Art Blakey and Johnny Griffin and is a mainstay of the NYC mainstream modern jazz piano style. Three of my favorite tunes are here: Weill\'s My Ship, Monk\'s Ruby My Dear, and Billy Strayhorn\'s surpassingly lovely Lotus Blossom - done in waltz time. Book\'s Bossa takes a bouncy uptempo pace; it honors the late bassist Walter Booker. Chesky records in natural halls and churches rather than studios, similar to Opus 3 Records. The acoustic ambiance of the venue is the real thing - not digital reverb. The venue was a NYC church frequently used by Chesky. They employ a Soundfield Ambisonic mic and convert the Ambisonic output to 5.0 channel DSD. (I gather Chesky - along with DMP and Telarc - has given up on their alternate use of the center and sub channels to provide surround coverage more appropriate to music than movies.) None of the instruments are therefore recorded with close-up mics, not even the drums as nearly everyone else seems to do. Hargrove\'s trumpet is on the left and the piano about the center. There\'s not even a hint of an electronic sheen to the trumpet sound, and the piano too has more natural overtones audible. It doesn\'t sound the least bit \"off mic.\" The drums also don\'t overpower the other players as heard on so many jazz recordings - of course at least part of that has to be blamed on the artfulness of Cobb\'s drumming.
