"0.01% of us the ones with the talent and the eventual instinct to save humanity."
As a "YOUniter" I’m with you. Sometimes it seems a bit like attempting to clean up your neighborhood with a battery-powered leaf blower -- during an F5 tornado.
It’s true what they say/and a question
Last night I heard the Marcin Wasilewski Trio in Baltimore. Wow! Not only did it restore my faith in humanity—if three guys could produce such beauty, we as a species can do anything—it also proved the old adage that listening to live music is essential. I was enjoying the music and comparing what I heard to my system. I was very very pleased. I feel my system is fairly dialed in. Piano bass and most of the drums. If anything the tom toms sounded a little more real, a little more fluid than at home. So here is my question: what are some tracks that reveal that tom tom sound? Cymbals, snare and bass I got. I’m looking for something that will highlight the tom toms.

The Great Jazz Trio’s Direct from LA is not just the best sounding album I own, it’s the best sounding album I’ve ever heard. All three instruments are in the room on a good system. I saw Tony Williams several times in clubs in the years shortly before to shortly after it was recorded, and this captures his sound. It’s also a terrific piano recording, and there playing is first rate. |
The live version of Lingus by the band Snarky Puppy has one of the best sounding drum performances I have heard. Larnell Lewis learned the song on the flight to the gig as a fill in, and shines like the true star he is. It is one of the coolest stories in recent music lore. What class and talent that man is. |
