Of course that's the way it was recorded. Project3 the recording
label, always recorded like that (the "3" in Project3 stands for
3-channel Mono) . In fact almost all big-band and jazz recordings are
recorded that way. and in fact, while there is no real sound stage
(everything is multi-miked and grouped either left, center, or
right), in my opinion jazz recordings sound better miked close-up.
The Light performances are note perfect to the original band's
recordings and give some modern sound to these gems. Although, often,
the charm of 78-RPM recording techniques of the original recordings
often accentuate the nostalgic feel of many of these old arrangements.
IMO, for a listen at how jazz should be recorded, give a listen to The King
James Version from Sheffield (originally) but now it looks like it is an
import! OMG take a look at this:

They think they are going to get $203.00 for one! Only one left - act soon!
Anyway, one of the best technically and artistically, probably from the way
it was recorded. The direct to disc sessions had to be done all at once and
with them all together actually playing with each other.

Believe it or not, I have a pristine copy of the original Sheffield
direct-to-disk LP of "Still Harry After All These Years" in it's
original box. It's in great shape. I don't really play it very often, it
has one tune on it that I absolutely despise ("Theme from "Sandford and
Son")!
The copies available of these Hatty James Sheffield's available today
(either LP or CD) are not made from the original Sheffield D-to-D
session matrixes, but from the analog safety tapes. Nothing (except a
real R-to-R master tape) sounds as good as a clean direct-to-disk vinyl
recording!
