Looking for a "Best Of Vocal Jazz" Album: - Page 2

Mosaic's new Duke Ellington box has all the master takes at the beginning of the CD and the alternates at the end. It works out well. Alternates don't bother me because I rip everything into my iTunes library and rarely play music in the order it appears on the disk. The great thing about 78 era music is that it shuffles very well.

That's the thing about the mp3 shuffle era…it's kinda reverting listeners back to pre-album ways of consumption. Not necessarily a bad thing, just different than following a creative arc set out by artists and producers. I mean, a shuffle is about variety, but it's also possible to look at an album sequence the way you might think of a good live set. The artist takes you on a ride with a beginning, a middle and end.

Deja vu. I just posted a thread called Death of the Liner Note that deals with this subject.
