| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? Interesting that people for whom it really IS about the music - namely professional musicians. Rarely have very sophisticated audio systems. Even when they can afford it | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? It should always be about the music.
