Christiern Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) Technically, Norman Granz's recordings were notoriously bad in those days. The label was widely criticized for this. Here's an excerpt from a NYT piece by John Hammond. Similar criticism was voiced by John S. Wilson. I must say that I was impressed by the sound Malcolm Addey created for the Mosaic set; the "mushy sound and distortion" are no longer in evidence, but there is little one can do with an off mic solo. The worst of these appears on a take that was originally rejected--probably for that reason. Edited September 25, 2005 by Christiern Quote
