Meanwhile, in today's mail I received the DOLBY ATMOS BD~A of EARTH: One Amazing Day: The Immersive Experience. BTW, it's a BD~ROM disc:eek:
I've thought about pulling the trigger on the BD-V and/or BD-A. I'm interested in your thoughts.
BD-ROM? What does that mean?! Does crazy stuff in the computer?!
 
Right, some natural room reverb added perhaps; but that would hardly qualify for a stunning audition would it?

in the article humprof mentioned David Rideau said that they tried to match the atmos to equal the same spatial dimensions as the studio that Miles recorded it in in New York in 1959.

Now that's one way to really utilize 7.1.4 speakers, to make it sound like those speakers are emittiting the sound of the exact cubic footage of the recording studio!
 
While we wait for Dave Rideau's Atmos mix to materialize (it's the 60th anniversary; what are they waiting for?):

For a few years now a brilliant young arranger named Ryan Truesdell, who studied under Maria Schneider, has assembled a jazz orchestra, the Gil Evans Project, made up of A-list East Coast players, to perform and record lost and restored arrangements from all periods of Evans's career. The two albums they've released, Centennial and Lines of Color, are gorgeous; the arrangements and performances, breathtaking.

A couple of weeks ago, as a fundraiser for members of the project (who've been sidelined by the pandemic, obviously--and most jazz musicians don't have much laid by to begin with), Truesdell engineered a "remote" online performance of "Concierto de Aranjuez," with Riley Mulherkar (ex-Westerlies) in the Miles Davis role.

 
For fans of the album, there's a new book out this week and here's an excerpt:

Jazz was at the apex of its artistic power and commercial popularity when, in 1959, some of the music's greatest innovators gathered to record in New York City. In this excerpt from the new book 3 Shades of Blue: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the Lost Empire of Cool (Penguin Press, March 5, 2024), author James Kaplan puts us in the room as Davis and his collaborators record "So What," the track that leads off what is often hailed as the greatest jazz album ever.
