Most of the RVG remasters are great. If you want to hear some first rate mumbling on a jazz recording try most anything from Charles Mingus. Oscar Peterson sings along almost like a scat-man sometimes. I think it is really cool and find it much more involving to hear these guys bop-be-dee-ba-bop.
strange sounds on rvg recordings/ or i'm crazy
I just recently have discovered jazz. having a great time.something i just noticed on two newly purchased cd's, both bluenote, i hear someone vocalizing during the songs. the first one is art blakey "free for all" and the other is Bud Powell "the scene changes". Am i crazy does any else hear this. I was attracted to jazz, blue note and Rudy van gelder after a discussion between engineers about gelder's secrecy surrounding his recording techniques(mic choice and placement) and that he went so far as to put up different mics for photographs. As i recording hobbyist and i thought that was a cool story even if not true.
