What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.IX)

Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2013

With 2013 upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread.  I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.

Doug,

 

I am following with interest your recent crusade against the ECM classical recordings. First it was Andras Schiff, now Keith Jarrett and I am wondering who is going to be the next victim..

 

I did not listen to this Bach album but I am not surprise by your initial reaction. Mr. Jarrett started boring me with his jazz piano long time ago.
