Drinking vodka, 'cause All the Gin Is Gone

[Mixinthecloud]

Very enjoyable headphone listen. I wasn't too put off by the hihat although it did leave my left ear begging for something a little extra. Maybe one or two of the solo's throughout could have been swung that way just for a balance thing?

Anyway, this is jazz and I'm not sure a stereo balance is al that important. With all the recordings I've listened to over the years the stereo image and arrangement have varied widely. I guess it's all about enhancing the musical performance the best one can, based on personal taste and influences.

Well Done

A good point made about the stereo balance and Jazz. I guess some of us still live in a vinyl world where panning was determined by the ability to cut grooves into vinyl and not break the lathe! Gone are the days of the RIAA curve and the compensations required. It has still shaped our musical decisions and norms, hasn't it?
