An informal video guide to collecting music on record (and occasionally on CD). You'll learn about which records feature the best sound and best performances, and how to make smart choices in the ever-growing new and used record market.
I draw on 50 years of collecting and listening to music (and sometimes playing it), with an emphasis on classical and film music, but also including jazz, rock, pop, spoken word - and everything in-between.
I worked for many years as a producer/director of music and drama programming for NPR, winning a Peabody along the way. I also occasionally wrote about film and film music for a number of publications, including the Financial Times. I was recently asked by Michael Fremer to write for his new site: trackingangle.com.
