It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

A Chesky dog

I picked up Chessky's Jazz Descargas by The Conga Kings on SACD and it is easily one of the most poorly recorded pieces of music I've ever had the misfortune of buying in any format. Absolutely terrible. To take but one example, Oye Como Va (the old Santana number from Abraxas) sounds like the bass was recorded in somebody's basement with a cheap hand held mike up on the third floor. Thinking it might just be me, I played the album for a friend who I know has terrific ears for sound quality and he thought any self-respecting company would be embarassed to release such poorly recorded material.

I'm glad to hear that, on average, Chesky produces well recorded CDs. Our experience with Jazz Descargas was so disappointing that we've avoided Chesky discs like the plague. Based on your enjoyment of many of their recordings, maybe we'll try another one.
