Jazz for aficionados
Which African tubes? This is one of them, but it didn't really matter because the costumes and the dance was more interesting than the music; especially when some of them switched back to the village. Since there are no DVD's, so much for that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0HGdO42nMA Here's another one; after awhile, switching on those on the sidebar, they began to sound alike, that's when I left. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE4RkXO5IfU Enjoy the music. |
The African Youtubes: I agree with you. The sound is just too monotonous. Maybe the music is just not sophisticated in structure. Good for maintaining voodoo trances? Damn. When I typed that, my keyboard stopped working for a moment. :) On the positive side, she will not have to worry about being accused of sounding like Ella. Do you realize that Acman3 submitted a post/youtube about Cecile over a year ago!! I was not paying attention. What do you think of Porter? Cheers |
Rok, "the major problem" is one of personality. Here we at the same tiresome place again where you fail to see the hypocracy in your attitude and contradictions and lack of clarity in what you write. You often disagree and do so in an abrasive and condescending manner; yet, when "some people" disagree with you it becomes "nitpicking", you "meant" this or that, or you go to the fall-back position of audiophile bashing which is really sophomoric in its attempt at superiority, says little and begs the question: if you have such disdain for audiophiles, why do you post in an audiophile forum? I am often reminded of issues around child-rearing: they get the most obstinate and scream the loudest with those who they know, deep inside, are correct. Classic Rok contradiction: Your recent Bolero example where you accuse me of nitpicking and neglecting to understand that the musically mediocre Bolero that you posted was meant to be appreciated with the visual (the dance). Yet, this is what you wrote a mere few days ago: ****10-01-14: Rok2id Southern Comfort-- I am always suspicious of music that "requires" visuals to make it seem complete. The wife likes it, but she likes recordings of birds and waves. :)**** I find it a bit humorous that you would think "some people" are looking for validation in a forum like this or consider their word to be "gospel". What was that term you used recently?.....oh yeah, "projection". I am flattered that you are so affected by my occasional disagreement, but all I can do is encourage you to be more secure in your beliefs. Cheers |
Rok, although I have Casandra's CD's since the beginning, this is my first time getting acquainted with her; she's infinitely more impressive than ever entered my mind. Never heard of Gregory Porter, but the boy can "sang". I must say, Casandra is growing old quite gracefully; she's beautiful in many ways, I watched the entire 52:23 of that clip. Since I've been looking at "Miami Vice", that offshore bank account thing was right on time, I'll have to check it. Leersfool, when you say "musicians", you mean "Classical" musicians; the one's who can debate a "Basis super arm 9, versus "Vector" versus "Graham" tone arms. John Lee Hooker had 3 identical Adcom systems in his three homes; Max Roach had a most unimpressive system in his apartment over looking Central Park when he was interviewed by "Stereophile". If the musicians I've known were filthy rich, they would not be "Audiophiles"; setting up a brand new, high end analog rig, is too much like playing with electric trains; "When am I going to listen to some music, I'm tired of fiddling with this cartridge and tone arm, somebody call an engineer or Jeeves the butler." Enjoy the music. |
