Frogman, you lucky dog! I have not been fortunate enough to have seen the Bill Evans Trio play live. I live on Eastern Long Island and have to travel to NYC for good jazz. I try to stop by Fat Tuesdays and the Blue Note whenever I am in the city but I have never seen anybody as good as the Bill Evans Trio. I will be seeing Cassandra Wilson at the Planting Fields Aboretum this summer though. I can't wait. Think I will go listen to some Art Blakely now. Ciao...
Calling all Recording Engineers
I am a jazz fan and alot of the CD's I have were origionally recorded in the late 1950's and early 1960's. I have quite a few CD's from the Bill Evans Trio, Art Blakely, Miles etc. that were recorded in this time period and they are absolutely superb, far superior to some CD's I have that were recorded recently. I would have thought that with today's digital recording techniques, this would not be possible. I am simply curious why and thank you all in advance for your explanations.
