charles1dad ... Thanks for your kind comments. And, you are entirely welcome for the CDs. I wish you would post more on this site. As a fellow vibes lover, I miss your input. :-) As a teenager, I used to go to the Lighthouse Cafe in Hermosa Beach, California a lot to hear the Howard Rumsey Lighthouse All-Stars. Sometimes, I would take a front-row seat that looked up at the drum-set of Stan Levey, who in my opinion, was the greatest jazz drummer of all time. No matter how loud the band played, or how fast the pace was, there was no "cringe factor" to the sound. Stan just played music on those drums like no one else, while chewing gum with a relaxed look on his face. That experience was all about musicality and nothing about fidelity.

"It was the pinnacle at one time now it's "musicality" whatever the crap that is." My belief is that the term "musicality" refers to the tonal correctness of voice and instruments. Once "musicality" is attained in one's system, then disbelief can be suspended, and one can be transported into the actual musical event. Or, in the case of mono recordings, the event can be transported to you. :-) Frank |
wolf_garcia ... Who was responsible for all of the digital reverb on the original mastering? The audiophile reissue is much better. And by the way, that drum solo on, I believe side two is fantastic. Frank |
