Buble's interesting comments on recording

Michael Buble released a new album a couple of days ago--and on it is the mix of old standards which he generally 'owns' when he sings them anew. He also has a couple of originals thrown in which show great promise. But what I found really interesting, was the comments he made during the 'release' interview.
He said that he wanted his album to have the authentic, 'real' sound that one gets when the performers are all in the same room, with the 'sounds' of each instrument, the singer, drummer, etc, all blending together, as they did on some of the old classics, 'motown' for example which were some of his favs.
Isn't it wonderful that a 34 year old has the savvy to realize this sense of 'organic' not polished, and sanitized sound that so many performers try for these days? Well, for the last however many days that 32 track (six million track whatever) became the standard.
He mentioned it on his previous album, as perhaps a precursor to this one, testing, as he said, "hearing me with my flaws and all" but mostly hearing it all, and all real.
Nancy and Cannonball, Paul Desmond, Brubeck, Thelonius Monk, would have been proud to hear hims say this.
Any thoughts by the other, like me purists out there???

Good listening guys,(and our beautiful ladies who write too)
