Count me in for Ore and Dunlap. That was the first Monk I ever heard, on Two Hours With Thelonious (a 2LP repackaging of the Riverside France and Italy recordings, picked up for like $.57 from a J.M. Fields cutout bin in the early 70's).
Um, "in time" what will? I live in the present. I have in excess of 30,000 discs. I am blessed with a system that amazes me every day, and amazing music to listen to. I don't need to make any changes. Again, whatever way one is happy to listen is fine with me--I'm in it for the music as fully listenable as I can get and respect love of music no matter what format or even genre.
Back to the CDR thang.
At first I was annoyed getting a few Chronogical Classics in CDR form but then I realized I was happy to have the releases.
In time it will.
The future is in files and minimum physical storage of them.
Me, I don't give a damn, but that's where it's going. Inevitably.
And audiophillia will get drug along. Because at that point, it'll be nothing but simple engineering, and those cats can do engineering.
Tell that to Richie Beirach. He said Evans got the specific voicing of the two first chords of "So What" from Scriabin. I thought I knew the correct way to play them, but it's more complicated than just stacking 4ths. I played it that way in front of a poor starving adjunct jazz history teacher in college, and she yelled at me "NO!!!! that's not the right voicing!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I told her that's the way you play it on guitar, and she said it's different on piano.
So Scriabin was the first to use them in classical music, according to Beirach, and Glenn Gould called Evans "the Scriabin of Jazz".
Yea, that's what it's supposed to be, a history of jazz for the guy in the supermarket line.
