Ella & Joe made several records for Pablo in the 70s/80s, and one
of them, entitled Take Love Easy, has been given the XRCD treatment
by JVC. Long story short, this is a truly marvelous recording.
Musically, Ella and Joe make it all seem so easy to do, when what
they are doing is extremely difficult - there's only the two of them
and there's nowhere to hide the mistakes and shortcomings. Only in
this case, there sure isn't anything to hide. Sonically, the
recording is spectacular - quiet, well miked and mixed, little/no
tape hiss, clear and clean, and no extraneous studio noise.Yes, this one's expensive, but *very* well worth it.
