One of the most egregious examples of this kind of thing is the practice of playing recorded music before performances of live music in some venues.


Again, nothing new. Consider the "first music" and "second music" played (live, of course)

Andrew,

There is, of course, a parallel here, but I think there's a big difference between live and recorded music being used in this way. Back in the days when I was making a living (and a life) playing bass in jazz clubs in NY, I was often part of the "intermission" trio - playing between sets of higher visibility players. (I played with Bobby Timmons and Roland Hanna - working opposite Monk and Mingus - who were the main draws.)

There is much to consider here - a recording in a public place is quite different from a live group.

*before the overture* in 17th-c. English theaters. Music was also played during intermission--all over Europe. That is how comic opera started, in fact.
