Still enjoying Sanborn's Another Hand. Maybe the darker stuff is for me?
Listened to more Harry Connick, Jr. I like it okay. Wife likes it a lot.

Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz.

To be honest, David Sanborn is not for jazz purists. He’s similar to Kenny G., in that his music is drenched in artificial digital reverb. The naturally beautiful tonality of the saxophone gets lost in the fog. I’m not knocking anyone who likes it, as we all have our individual tastes in music. In fact, I think I know what audiophiles like about all of the reverb ... It gives an illusion of a larger, deeper sound stage. But it is totally artificial. As an experiment, pick up some really good mono jazz recordings from the 1950s, and you will hear what I’m alluding to. Here’s some examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWC5wBXyozM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2ax0nn-DU0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCZqyAn08Xc&list=PL4ypuAMic-GhjQyIWRBNtJNYzETPWo3yB And then, there was the 1940s ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxtomarjnj0 |
