 help! July 20, 2009

I can't see how to download this one, it says "album only" and I don't know what that means!
 Sound errors spoil an otherwise great collection July 9, 2009
Keith Gillard (San Jose CA)
As has been written by others, this collection contains some really great jazz, but is filled with clicks and pops. If I have the collection on softly in the background while I am focused on something else, I do not mind. However, when I sit down to focus on this music, the digital clicks are continuously spoiling the mood.
The noise does not sound like vinyl noise, as reported by some other reviewers. It is certainly digital audio artifacts, and unfortunately could easily have been cleaned up by Savoy before posting.
If Savoy's objective was to get me to buy their jazz CDs, they failed. This actually has the opposite effect. I don't trust their quality control, as impeccable as their taste in tunes may be!
I do recommend that you download this - after all, it is free - and make up your own mind. The songs themselves should certainly be heard and can function well as background music, and who knows! Maybe the noise won't bother you as much as it bothers me.
 Great collection of tracks but are the scratches intentional? July 8, 2009
Chip Schofield (Philly)
Like many of the other reviews I find this to be a really good sampler (especially considering that it is free!) but, looking a gift horse in the mouth, I have to say that the scratches are a huge annoyance.
It's not that I can't except scratches, given the vintage of the recordings, but that I think they might have been intentionally added (or Savoy was too lazy/cheap to bother to do a little clean-up). The pops seem a little "too clean" like when you see fake film scratches in modern video. I have the Charlie Parker "Yardbird Suite: The Ultimate Collection" Yardbird Suite: The Ultimate Collection which includes what I believe is the same recording of "Yardbird Suite" but in the Ultimate Collection there are no scratches (and the fidelity sounds the same).
Disappointing, to say the least. Would have given this four stars without the "intentional" scratches.
Great Sampler June 28, 2009
R. Roberts (Lansing, MI)
I love this music! Yes, it has clicks and pops. It sounds like it was recorded from an old LP. As far as I am concerned, that makes it even better! I miss listening to music on a turntable. This just brings back some memories!
Thanks for some terrific FREE music!!!!
 Great album. ..and I like the cracks and pops :) May 30, 2009
Sabrina
Great Jazz album. This is my favorite free sampler yet. Yes there are cracks and pops, but I dont find it irritating at all. Quite the opposite actually, I like it. Maybe its because I listen to alot of vinyl records. Anyway, this is a great album. And hey its free..
