Your favorite Sheherazade LP ?
I too like the Reiner CSO recording but have to add that Analogue Productions did this recording a great service when they reissued it on SACD/hybrid. It's also available as a DSD download on the Acoustic Sounds website.  
Mono recordings
For one thing with mono, you're not splitting the resolution between two channels, which over all makes mono recordings much denser. Also as mentioned, many early recordings were only recorded in mono or if a record was recorded in both mono and ...

It looks as though many aren't shying away from mentioning jazz drummers. My mention, Joey Baron.

bdp24, I've got a fever and the only cure is more cow bell! (teehee) I believe that those in a soundtrack situation could benefit from what Broadway musical pit drummers are doing. Pit drummers need to stay four or more measures ahead of the orche...

Ian Pace stated that Ringo Starr was his favorite drummer while he was learning to play (or something similar). He mentioned that Ringo was a swinging drummer like no other. I've always admired Ringo Starr for his musicality, his unpredictability ...

bdp24, unfortunately I never had the opportunity to see Leon Russell. Yes, Jim Keltner was a solid drummer too but I never saw him play. Not many of these guys around anymore.

The most interesting and fun I’ve seen, has to be the Rhythm Devils (Billy Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart) with the Grateful Dead. The last time was in Santa Clara for the Fare Thee Well tour, both nights. And the more they incorporated electronics th...

Keith Carlock (Wayne Krantz) played with Steely Dan as did Peter Erskin, so both played Rock music. I think worth mentioning is David Kemper who I saw with the Jerry Garcia Band and he is as rock solid as they come. If I had a musically charged gr...
