[JPL] Anyone playing the Tatum computer recreated CD? Opinions?

[louisx]

There is  Jorge Luis Borges story about an exact copy of a written work that 
is acclaimed as being "better than the original". You could say this is that 
story in real life. But, to be serious for a moment, I saw this Zenph 
product in infancy and it does indeed capture the nuances of the original 
recording. And it is a real piano playing the music. So you could look at it 
as a "cleaned up" version of an Art Tatum recording, but cleaned up through 
a different method than we're accustomed to.
