Jeremy Conley, Assistant Director Jeremy is drawn to "all types of music including classical, jazz, rock, and world music. The most important thing to me is the quality of the musicianship and the material. If both are at a high-level, chances are it's going to be a good album. He learns about recordings through friends' recommendations or positive reviews. "I also like to browse on the iTunes store or Amazon. A composer and guitarist, it's not surprising that the albums Jeremy's currently listening to are connected by their originality and guitar playing. He would recommend the John Williams and Buena Vista Social Club albums "to anyone, but I think these particular Beatles and Bob Dylan albums will be most appreciated by those who are already familiar with their work. What's on Jeremy's iPod/cd player? Artist: John Williams Album : "Arpeggione" Sonata; Giuliani: Guitar Concerto Why you like this particular artist/album: John Williams' fine playing and the superb sound quality make this recording a standout. The Arpeggione Sonata by Schubert was originally written for viola, but translates beautifully to the classical guitar. The Giuliani Concerto is likewise a pleasure to hear. Favorite track(s) on the album: Arpeggione Sonata Artist: The Beatles Album: Love Why you like this particular artist/album: This album is like a breath of fresh air, since I'm familiar with all of the original Beatles' albums. It draws from the vast source recordings of the band and mixes the material in new and interesting ways. Just like the original albums, it is best listened to straight through. Favorite track(s) on the album: This album has unique transitions from song to song. Also I love the increased string part on "Eleanor Rigby." Artist: Buena Vista Social Club Album: Buena Vista Social Club Why you like this particular artist/album: While working at Atlantic Records in 1997, I was lucky enough to hear this album prior to its official release. I've loved it ever since. The musicianship is top-notch and the music is immediately accessible. This is certainly one of the best recordings released in the last ten years and deserves a place in everyone's collection. Favorite track(s) on the album: "¿Y Tú Qué Has Hecho?" and "Chan Chan" Artist: Bob Dylan Album: Modern Times Why you like this particular artist/album: Bob Dylan could have hung up his hat a long time ago. Instead, he's still at it, writing some of his best material yet. The songs are long and much of the musical material is repeated, but the end result is a deeply moving and important album. Favorite track(s) on the album: "The Levee's Gonna Break", "Spirit on the Water", and "Thunder On the Mountain."
