I have no idea , but I think it's a bit out of context anyway . You must probably be from Sweden ( like me ) and possibly also been to the pawnshop jazz club ( check ) also be a bit older than me and have some nostalgia for that part of Swedish jazz history and these performers . Why it's been lifted out off its cultural context over space and time and are revered by Japanese high end aficionados ? Some things are true mysteries . However the record company proprius have made many excellent classical and choral recordings over the years and some other stuff too . I think it's ok and it actually does sound exactly like that jazz club . But it is of no significance in the greater scheme of things . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
