Finally! a post about midrange!!! And your choice of female vocals is fabulous. I often wonder if there is something in a male’s DNA where female, mother, sounds are so darn appealing. Anywho…
So… why not test records for midrange? Isn’t this is where the music is? The emotion? The je ne sais quoi of music. The music of music?
C’mon folks… midrange is what is all about and you don’t have “go to” test records for this? Why?
Great topic.
So my go to for vocals is usually Norah Jones first.
But listen to Johnny Hartman w Coltrane. He is like a Sinatra with a big dose of smooove.
Speaking of Sinatra - what is this thing called love?
To round it out. Put on some dean martin. I’ve grown accustomed to your face.
I had one of these evenings like this and there is something magical about these old recordings. I’m not an ‘oldster’ - but for the first time I really listened to Dean Martin - and ask yourself - Does anybody sound like this guy? Nobody does.
