[Dixielandjazz] Recording & recording technology

[Norman Vickers]

Listmates:  Here is a long article from the New Yorker.  Alex Ross'
essay talks about the effects, good and bad, of recording and its effect
on listeners and the artists.  It mentions Louis Armstrong and Bing
Crosby so I think it will pass the  OKOM-test.  I found it interesting
and I hope you will.
It's too long to cut and paste, so if you're interested, then you must

Thanks.
 
Norman-don't you, too, have ambivalent feelings about these long New
Yorker articles?- Vickers
