2016 Hi Fi Show
Part 2 A.
eds 60’s post about Take 5.
I listened to the track in my computer yesterday and again today. It was originally a 16/44.1 and as with many of my tracks, I did not put down data as to where I got or ripped it, and also kept no album covers to save SSD space. As eds60 rightly says, there are many versions in the market. I have a LP of this quartet with two tracks of Take 5; the second one with someone singing lyrics fitted to the tune usually played by Paul Desmond with alto sax.
Based on common jazz and pop band players’ positioning, as well as what I hear from the track that I have, I am afraid eds60 has some finding out to do. Paul Desmond should be in the centre, standing upfront (more on that later). He is the soloist in this track and as such, that is where he should be standing and playing. By the way he composed this song based on the mastery skill of Joe Morello of 5 beats in a bar. eds60 may wish to request playing this song in his future visits and see which track has Paul Desmond in the centre. Get a copy and play it in his own system. If Paul Desmond is again shifted to the right hand side, he has to fix up his system’s imaging and players’ positioning.
In my system, I have the drum on the left at the back whilst the cymbals are louder than those rendered in the two rooms I mentioned; and in fact even much too light to my liking if it were live. Kick drum is almost missing unless it is focussed on specially. I suspect two microphones were placed in front at the recording, resulting in the drum at a distance being too soft even during the solo passages.
I also have Dave Brubeck on the piano near the right speaker, at a plane slightly behind Paul Desmond.
The double bass. It is louder and more conspicuous than I heard in the two rooms and is positioned behind the alto saxophone in the centre. This may not be correct. I would be happier if he is slightly to the right and further back, the correct position when playing live.
Digressing a bit. Another “time out” track I like is “Money” in Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon album. Not until Roger Waters pointed it out in the video, had I noticed it was 7 7/8. Also very nice riff by the bass guitar (riff is for pop and rock; classics is ostinato). In the video, David Gilmore sings part of this song whilst playing acoustic guitar accompaniment. I prefer this close and forward sound to that in the original LP.
