Audioblazer,
Replying to your first thought; maybe there will be more classical albums from The Tape Project. I don't hold out much hope. You can get great Blue Note re issues for 50 bucks each. It's not hard to record and reproduce small groups that don't sell many albums and that's why the masters are more available. I'm grateful that the classical titles they issued are those I play over and over. Black Jack is a close second but the Jazz all sounds the same to me and I won't play them again.
I realize the cost constraints of TTP when they source masters. If they could count on ALL their subscribers to purchase full subscriptions they might take a few more chances. I will continue to be a full subscriber and ENJOY all their issues, after all, I need to expand my musical horizons.
Those in my audio group have told me for years, not that many, to do just that.. I've spent bucks on Jazz, rock and everything below the CLASSICAL genre. I buy it , listen to it and file it away. I guess I just prefer music written by dead guys.
IMHO, playing a small jazz group is much less demanding on an audio system than a full blown symphony orchestra. I realize not everyone can afford the cost and room size to hear the best reproduction of "The Absolute Sound." I'm not counting out the difficulty for ANY system to reproduce the human voice or a piano but it all comes down to what makes you want to hear it all again.
Enough said. I was unable to navigate the website and effect an order for their classical titles. I can dig out my book, "Apples for dummies." or you can give me a helping hand.
Thanks from a fellow RTR "Gonner."
