Jesper Buhl Trio: 'What Is This Thing Called Love'

[lmat]

I only listened to Trio_1.mp3. Sounds like the piano is way back and to the right, bass way back and to the left. I take this recording to be more intimate, so this much space may be a bit much. Also, the bass is pretty quiet relative to the piano. Drum levels, especially overheads, sound quite high (volume).

You got that "raw" sound out of the piano and bass nicely.

I think I see what you're going for here, and you're pretty close. Just a little tune up here and there, and I think it will really sparkle. Keep up the good work!

Kinda agree with Imat, but I gotta say that bass and piano sound great on their own, and I dig you monoed piano and drums (though kickdrum on the right feels a little weird when you notice it), since enveloping stereo tracks don't fit my book's idea of a jazz show listening experience. Maybe it's the pristine quality of the drums that's unbalancing things somehow, or maybe it's the positioning (bass L - piano C - drums R, perhaps?).

Anyway, the reverb is lovely and dynamics feel pretty natural, methinks.
