Bd, White Rabbit is a fantastic album; I listened to it last night. Before George Benson thought that he could sing, he seemed the heir apparent to the guitar legacy of Wes Montgomery. In fact he pays homage to Montgomery on the White Rabbit album, by covering "California Dreamin'", one of Wes' late period signature tunes. Jay Berliner's acoustic guitar work and Herbie Hancock's piano are just two bright spots in this marvelous band. Oh yeah, Rudy Van Gelder recorded and mastered the album, I believe.
1st, most memorable recording...
In your introduction to high end audio, is their a rock song, ballad, jazz piece, etc. that really knocked your socks off and prompted you to get into the hobby?
In 1990, a buddy had me over to listen to his rig consisting of, merlin sig. 4`s, tandburg amp/pre and denon cdp.
The first piece he played was "Bolero" by the Philadelphia Orchestra. That particular arrangement, on that particular system blew me away and was my introduction into high end audio.
It`s still one of my favorite pieces.
Just wondering if any of you have had a similar experience.
