Gid you ever get your Enoch Light Big Band disc from Amazon? I ordered
one (used, of coutrse) from Amazon and it came from GOODWILL
INDUSTRIES in Ohio. Imagine that! It's just like new - not a scratch
or a mark on it. It has a lot more cuts than my LP, but it doesn't
sound quite as good as the LP, but then CDs rarely do.
I just listened to about 3 cuts on the Enoch Light. Not too good a
recording. Sounds like he isolated each section of the band and miked them
separately, added no reverb to mask it. Just a godawful example of
multi-miking.
What say ye?

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.
