:-) Despite listening to Keith's "show'n'tell" tracks, I was still not sure
what kind of music he really preferred. He mentioned an intention to
listen seriously to Wagner.


Just to balance up all the 'MOR' (??) stuff I've been posting, here's
summat from about 800 years back*:

Excellent. I have some David Monroe and Anthony Rooley recordings.
Magic stuff.

I love it, I wonder if anyone else does...??

Yes indeed.

I have been transcribing some Coleman Hawkins shellac material
and today finished a wonderful title called "What is There to Say"
For those who enjoy a smooch, or to trip the light fantastic, this track,
recorded Feb 1945, is at:

It's the definitive tenor saxophone sound. Please take a listen.
The collector who owns this RCA Victor disc, think that it might have
been one of the very first recording that RCA made on analogue tape.
In which case, sorry about the poor transients, Dave:-)))

It is clearly a multi-microphone mono balance. Disc cutting technology
was coming along nicely by the end of WW2. There is quite a lot of
energy at 9.5kHz.

The transcription has come out quite well. Ain't digital wonderful.

*Fabulous recording quality for that long ago, don'tcha think...?? :-)

Stone tapes.
From the days when a chip was something cut with a chisel:-)
