Most of us have paused as street musicians performed, for little or, too often, no tips. There are some great artists out there, perhaps misguided at one time or another, but nonetheless, very good. Yes, there are some rotten ones, too. But, that's pretty much the case in all sorts of venues, from Broadway to television to the Big Screen.
You've likely heard some great orchestras, and big bands, too. The perfect blend of instruments and vocals, with the performance we hear achieved after painstakingly difficult rehearsals.
Then, along comes a group of sound engineers with a concept. How 'bout we go to the corners of the earth and record, individually, different un-famous musicians performing the same song? Wonder what we could do with that, they asked themselves.
Wish I could hear the final version, on a reel-to-reel recorder, in stereo, with a Fisher tube-type amplifier, and two sets of Jensen speakers that reach from floor to ceiling.
I have to settle for this. But, the work that went into it is just amazing!
