Vinyl loses the advantages over CD whenever the music involves excessive digital enhancements...... Pitch correction, time alteration, digital EQ, etc. ..... For in my opinion, these enhancements obscure the very elements that make a great performance, make a great recording, and most importantly, necessitate playback of the highest fidelity possible.
There is a recent recording out there under the Telarc label by the Tierney Sutton band titled "On the Other Side". This is an excellent CD, and also a very instructional one. There are 13 tracks on the CD. Three of the tracks (4, 5, and 8) are pitch-corrected, the rest of the tracks are not. With the non-pitch corrected tracks, the listener is drawn into an intimate jazz setting, Tierney is phenomenal in most cases, and the essence of truly great music makes the listening experience worthwhile. The three remaining tracks, the vocal sonics are compromised, and the palpable presence and nuances are ruined. It's still jazz, but the elements that make the listener appreciate the artform are compromised.
