....for a change of pace, try "Brubeck and Mulligan at the Berlin Philharmonic". This is a two disk recording with excellent RBCD sound (that would make a fantastic SACD if anybody is listening). Both Brubeck and Mulligan are at the top of their form (Mulligan has never sounded better, IMO) and the tunes are a mixture of standards and some pieces I have never heard elsewhere.I'm a big Brubeck fan/collector, but this is one of my three favorite disks...I just gave one to my sister/husband (jazz fans both) and they love it.

on the Brubeck/Mulligan disc. Always looking for good jazz discs.
I don't have the "Berlin" set. I'll find it soon. I do have a Verve disk of Mulligan with the Desmond Quartet and like it very much. They both play great. This disk swings a little more than most of Desmond's.
By the way this cd(Verve-Desmond/Mulligan) is available at yourmusic.com for $5.99.

I am also a big Brubeck fan and have this same double CD, the sound as I hear it is extremely harsh with that unpleasant digital haze all over it, the performance is incredible and you can hear and feel the excitment in the audience and their total involvment with the music.
....and I'm playing both the SACDs and the CD's on the same machine.
"Is it possible that your CD player is contributing?"It is not the CD player, the real contributing factors are the speakers, mine are large JBL studio monitors, with these speakers, gabage in garbage out, or you can run but you can not hide, these are very high resolution speakers, well recorded CD's sound glorious the marginal ones sound horrible.
That said I have played this same Brubeck with smaller tower speakers and they souded fine.
