值得一提的是这张《当铺爵士》原本在一九七六年的旧版录音已经堪称一绝,但在经由瑞典发烧名厂Prophone的老闆与其子在一九九六年将其重 新混音,以最新的录音技术重新制作新版母带,录音品质保证更胜旧版,在加上详细内文解说以及珍稀的乐手介绍,尤其将演出现场Stampen Jazz Pub的绘稿收藏其中,更添加此片的高贵价值。
"Jazz at the Pawnshop" is among the highly praised recordings within audiophiles circle due to its outstanding recording quality. Therefore it needs no further introduction. This rip was taken from reissued vinyl, the remastered version.

初听第一首 Limehouse Blues 中间部分的木琴(ㄟ,说错了不要打我喔,用敲打的那种)一连串清脆的的乐音流泄而下,彷彿洗涤了城市的喧嚣,带领著你暂时进入了忘忧,欢乐的世界。放开心,準备享受一晚的悠閒吧。
第三首的 High Life 配上铃鼓準备运用轻快的节奏,释放平常加诸在身上的束缚,用手随著音符或轻拍,或大笑,都相当的畅快写意。跳舞也好,即兴随著音乐摇摆身体,就算舞步是那样的笨拙又何妨呢。
夜慢慢深了,激昂的情绪开始沈淀,Louis Armstrong 的 Struttin'with Some Barbeque 告诉我们,可不是只有这样喔,一个接著一个的吹牛皮大王开始炫耀近来夸张的趣事。有些荒谬,但没有人会在此时像个侦探般地追查故事是否编造,或者真实,开心是评判的唯一标準。
喧闹随著人潮一波波散去而逐渐消失,留下来的人们,大多是常客。桌面烛台剩下蜡烛尾巴,闪烁摇晃著微亮的光芒。一直躲在柜臺后面的酒保老闆,逐一帮 Bar 上残餘的小酒杯斟满好酒。看著酒杯里面,琥珀色的液体,想著过去曾遇过,爱过的人,不知道现在何处,应该也生活的很愉快吧。用Duke 调的 Deep Blue 来笑尝生命中的酸甜苦辣,是再好也不过了。
当舖爵士第一集(Jazz At The Pawnshop 1)
爵士当铺风靡唱片市场许久,至今仍历久弥新、屹立不摇。这是一张名盘中的名盘,爵士录音的最强发烧片,1976年在斯德哥尔摩旧城区的The Pawnshop(Stampen)爵士俱乐部现场所录制的极致天碟,之所以被公认为经典之作,在於录音师Gert Palmcrantz躲在小厨房,以简单的录音器材将俱乐部内那种烟雾瀰漫围绕著酒酣耳热,看著台上乐手忘我尽情地演奏与爵士乐现场的那种即兴鲜活感完全地保留与表现出来,聆听这张唱片,你会情不自禁认为自己就置身现场。几乎所有的音响杂誌、收藏家都会推荐的专辑、对发烧迷与音响设计师与制造商来说,更是测试片的终极范本。来自发烧名厂Proprius的极经典名盘,不论是你是挑剔的发烧友或想认识爵士乐,这张录音无敌佳作又好听的「当铺爵士」,绝对可以带给你所有的答案。
