Kind of Blue Re-Make

John Atkinson is chosen to record it...John Marks is to produce it, but he asks your opinion as to who gets to be considered to play on the re-make of Kind Of Blue. Who would be your choice of players? Now, this thread should be interesting.

All the session will be done for video release as well in 5.1 as well as DSD 5.1 and two-channel. How would JA mic the recording session? The practice session will also be documented on video. Just think if we had behind the scenes video footage of Miles and friends from 1959.

Where the heck is Feb Zinio Stereophile?

It is getting tiring. If Stereophile management don't want people to subsceibe via Zinio, just cancel it.

I am sick of waiting and waiting every month. And nobody bothers to answer.

And dont tell me about logistics problems, there is no printing and delivery problem to speak of.

Come on Stereophiees, say something.

Mozart's Birthday

Aloha,

Ol' Wolfgang's 250th birthday was yesterday.

That called for a little champagne and Eine Kleine Nacht Music, then Karl Bohm's 35-41 Berlin Philharmonics on Deutsche Grammophon.

I really like Bohm. I don't know if his name is hailed or is anathema, but I have a soft spot for him.

Part of it may be that back in the day, I just automatically associated enjoyable classical tunes with the black and yellow of DG LP's, so when I see that sort of cover, perhaps I get less critical.

We ended the evening with String Quartets 14 - 23 by Gerhard Schulz.

Did an iPod Scuttle the Flag?

Did an iPod Scuttle the Flag?

As we reported <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/news/012306fairuse/">last week</A>, the Senate Commerce Committee (SCC) held hearings on January 24 exploring regulations to insert "Broadcast Flags" and "Audio Flags" into broadcast signals and audio recordings&mdash;markers that would prevent electronic devices from recording the flagged material. What we did not anticipate last week was that the hearings would trigger an outpouring of common sense.
