Stanley Jordan Trio: The Paris Concert Blu-ray

Stanley Jordan Trio: The Paris Concert(2007)Music     For more details about Stanley Jordan Trio: The Paris Concert on Blu-ray, see the Stanley Jordan Trio: The Paris Concert Blu-ray Review Stanley Jordan Trio: The Paris Concert Blu-ray, Video Quality  Stanley Jordan Trio arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of in-Akustik, with a 1080i 1.78:1 image encoded via VC-1. While the bulk of this rather dark concert looks okay, if not spectacular, it is hampered by some unfortunate artifacting, probably due to its interlaced source material. Right off the bat you’ll notice some nascent moiré and shimmer in the houndstooth straps over Jordan’s shoulders. It’s not too bad from midrange, but the close-ups are fairly bothersome and may turn off the more picky videophile. Contrast and black levels are exceptional throughout, and detail can be quite good as well. The smoky background of the club is very well rendered, and Jordan’s face and fingers are shown in all their glory. All told, this is a generally solid, if ultimately unremarkable, Blu-ray effort. Stanley Jordan Trio: The Paris Concert Blu-ray, Audio Quality  As has been the case on almost all of these in-Akustik offerings, we're given the choice between two uncompressed 5.1 tracks, a DTS-HD MA and an LPCM, as well as (rather strangely, as some of you have pointed out in PM's to me) a compressed Dolby Digital 2.0 track. I was a bit surprised that I found the LPCM 5.1 a bit more robust than the DTS-HD MA, especially in the low end. When Jordan and Moffett really exploit their lower registers, while the DTS-HD MA is certainly fine, the LPCM really pops, with a full throated sound that was a lot of fun to listen to. Jordan's glistening guitar and piano work is ably reproduced here, with absolutely no brittleness. Dynamic range and fidelity are both top notch. My only question (as evidently it has been for some of you as well) is, why no uncompressed stereo offering? The DD 2.0 track just sounds anemic when compared to the two uncompressed 5.1 offerings, and I doubt anyone is going to want to bother with it unless their equipment necessitates.
