Naim label (suggestions)

Posted by: John C on 05 March 2002

I'll be frank I don't like any CDs I've heard on the Naim label much. I only listen to jazz so comments restricted to that ( + antonio). Ken Christianson produces beautifully recorded pieces but none appeal to me. I find it disappointing that Naim appear to have little interest in British jazz. This is in contrast to Linn, who while far from perfect, have at least released a great CD from Clark Tracey in the last year. British jazz is extraordinarily good at the moment from Evan Parker to Stacey Kent. Why can't Naim tap some of this talent?

So, do all Naim Cds sell in the US or to forum members who take Naim's taste as a given?
Perhaps no one has confidence to make that decision in this country, whereas Christianson does? etc etc

I'd like to suggest Tim Garland Dean St Orchestra, world class music and crying out for records (I think!)

John

Others: Please substitute any musical genre for jazz.

(with apologies to Fred Simon who is ofcourse a marvel)

Urgent Telegram for Fred:
Dreamhouse nearly worn through from repeated playing. Stop. Need more music urgently. Stop. Tried emailing above address. Stop. No response. Stop.
Urgent Telegram for Naim:
Get Fred back the the Union Church soonest. Stop.

Hi, Nick. By now you've probably received my e-mail response; sorry for the delay.

Please tell me that you are also forwarding your impassioned and welcome requests for another album directly to Naim; that would be crucial.

Thanks, as always, for your consistently strong support.
