I concur.....

this is a great series and captured the musical mood of the jazz eras.

I too love jazz and I would say probably 75% of my listening is to jazz but the more contemporary Kenny G. style is not my cup of tea. I am most drawn to the 50 and 60s jazz era but also love the small jazz combos of Keith Jarrett, Brad Meldau and Oscar Peterson.

Music of the Big Band era such as Miller, Goodman, Herman, Ellington, and Shaw always ring my chimes but I find I have always found it hard to reproduce the stage, scale and imaging of big band on my home system. While at the CES a number of years ago, I heard some Glenn Miller being played in a large room on Wilson Audio Maxx's driven by Audio Research mono amps. Very impressive and life-like demonstration.
