| Jazz for aficionados What’s the date in April, pjw? Re “Sugar”, I have on lp only. It’s been a while since I listened to it. Love Turrentine, but never been a big fan of Creed Taylor’s sonic aesthetic. I do remember that it was a fairly hot sounding recording with ver... | |
| Jazz for aficionados We have a winner!! Alto clarinet it is. Lovano is one very talented dude. I’ve posted this before, but worth revisiting:https://youtu.be/YaY1GVeHqKw | |
| Vinyl***What If*** Very nice installment of “The Vinyl Press”, Bill. Thank you. Not meaning to go off topic too much, but re your impressions of the Monster AG1000: The Monster Sigma Genesis 2000 retains all that you like about the 1000 and more; plus the midrange... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I too enjoyed the Pelt clips; a lot. Thanks, pjw! Interesting player; something very direct and “to the point” about his playing. I did have a little trouble with his choice of synth patch for his horn. On “Blues” (can’t get more direct than that ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados A voice with obvious “imperfections”; but, for me there is something special and very honest about the way that Abbey Lincoln sang. There is a sense that it is coming from a place very deep inside. Amazing artist. Apropos recent focus on a great s... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Nice! One more Hoagy for Schubert. I can’t think of a more beautiful song:https://youtu.be/DjU6ZjrQulchttps://youtu.be/TeFeLaEsHBsAs done by the composer himself:https://youtu.be/Em3xyZz_mow | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary_jo, dinner jazz is a silly term for the kind of “jazz” one might hear in restaurants; background music, usually played softly, intended to add an air of sophistication to the ambience in the restaurant (or other). Like “cocktail piano” it usu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another Bosendorfer Artist, btw. Amazing instruments with the “sharp clarity” that Schubert pointed out:https://youtu.be/bXwWRFl6LSkIn contrast to the softer (texture) and rounder Steinway sound which can be clearly heard in spite of the distorted... | |
