<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">If you know Madison, Wisconsin,
you would understand. There it is not an imposition, it is a

and had the tuning done for them.<br><br>
I would also blame the sound quality partly on the room miking and
overall acoustic, since Feldman's voice isn't too well covered
either. I suspect they like the feel of it. One of my old
friends is one of his facts researchers, and the aesthetic all around is
quirky by design.<br><br>
Besides, I hate the way that pianist plays, and come to think of it
THAT is why the piano is out of tune all the time. He has a
particularly "spikey finger" style of playing. . I
always have to turn the show off during the music sections, home town or
no.<br><br>

Wow, the mind boggles. That's so interesting; the dealer imposes
<br>
meantone temperament (on a jazz trio, no less - with all the <br>
chromatic haarmonic stuff going on) and nobody thinks that's odd,
or <br>
questions it?! I wonder how the pianist feels? (Who knows, maybe
he's <br>
an adventurous sort of jazzer, and thinks it's bizarre and <br>
interesting - he does sound like an easygoing sort, when Feldman
<br>
engages him in conversation). I'll definitely have to listen to
that <br>
show again : )<br><br>
Now I'm really wondering whether it was the tuning or the
temperament <br>
that I heard as being "off" somehow.<br><br>
Cheers,<br><br>
