dissapointing audiophile recording

I have to agree with you Elizabeth with many of the so called Jazz recordings on Audiophile lables. Just back to the Kenny Rankin Chesky cd listen to him sing "I could write a book" or "Alway" he has no idea what the words mean or even how to a fraise a sentence, or how to caress a lyric.Then you listen to a singer like Arthur Prysock and now you can hear what a brillent singer can do. I would rather many audiophile record companys looking for new talent on the NYC subway platform during rush hour.

Readers Digest "light classical recordings I would not say that these are bad recordings , first they were not made for the attention of being audiophile recordings at all. Most were made to give many people just the taste of the classics and depending on your taste go out and take a larger bite. Many were conducted by Arthur Fiedler who I consider an exceptional showman and musician. But many of the new musicians that are paned off as new talent is just well like Antonio Salieri said in Amadeus "mediocrity everywhere"

I am going to be very honest I really don't take to kindly to your statement "white folks jazz" hey Imus see it works both ways.

Thats ok Viridian, I accept your apology and have a great evening. I know in my own life that I have spoken out wrongly myself.

I will listen to it tonight. Maybe I judged him and the contents of this cd much to quickly.

I just find listening to Kenny G is like eating rice cakes you want something more but you know thats it.
