recorded music is what it is. enjoy the song...and don't worry about something you can't control....woody herman, benny goodman, and glen miller rock too.
Recording quality effect on listening pleasure ...
I love jazz but admittedly I have a problem listening to early gems (say 40s through the early 50s) because the performances typically weren't recorded as well as during 50s and 60s. Now, I fully realize there were some terrible recordings during that time but for the most part I feel the quality of the recording improved substantialy in the later years. The disturbing part is that these wonderful performances are going unlistened to (at least for me) because I can't get past the quality of the recording. Is this just me or does anyone else feel the same way?
Many thanks,
JP
