| Jazz for aficionados alex, yes!Of course Pastorius also made the bass a lead instrument. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey frog, as you may guess from my past comments, I agree about drum solos. There are many drummers I enjoy for their backbone support of the tune, but extended solos seldom "connect" for me. Morello was a major exception. To my uneducated ear ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ah yes, Barbara.I remember that Neil Diamond had lots of hits during the '70s and '80s and I thought he was OK (FM airplay, never bought any of his records). Then he made a recording with Barbara (You Don't Bring Me Flowers -?) and a friend broug... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary jo, I trust you and others realized your clip was not the soundtrack to the film. Rather it was the tequila scene utilized to back up the "Wonderful" recording video.Music for that scene in the film was done by Lila Downs -https://video.sear... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary jo, it was the tequila scene from "Frida". Never saw it presented in B&W before. | |
| Revelation: Merlin+Joule- Total bliss I've lost touch with Jud but I believe his is around 79-80. He did retire some years ago. | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary jo you found a b&w clip from a favorite movie there.And since acman reminded us it is Black Friday, here is the Black Saint hisself -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFA0FYQo0Gg | |
| AR Vt-200 vs VTL-300 deluxe I owned VTL 300s for several years driving Duntech speakers, a nice combination. If you don't need the full 300 watts, they can be changed to triode operation by moving/resoldering a single wire in each mono unit as I recall. That will reduce th... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. tomic, I have a B&K 707 tester I got many years ago at an electronics swap meet. I really don’t know all that much about electronics but the B&K is easy to use and I’ve found it very helpful in identifying bad tubes -- not just strength bu... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Roger, Wow! What a fast moving post. Glad to see all the interest."There is a lot to this question so lets hear back from you and others."First off, I suspect many of us non-technical types may not know much about clipping. I've been aware of i... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Roger, really appreciate your efforts with this post. But, a question -"Over 100 watts is only justified by either high listening levels or insensitive speakers or both together. Excess headroom is a myth."I and many others find headroom seems to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Any fans of Elling who are in the LA area may be interested in this. A friend there just sent it to me but further away than I want to drive.https://jazzbakery.org/kurt-elling-early-bird | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary jo, and anyone else interested in buying used jazz vinyl on the Crown Records label mentioned in her last post, I would avoid it. Years ago I picked up a couple of their LPs and found them to be very poor. They had noisy surfaces (even thou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wow, 21 LPs for a penny! acman you got a better deal than I did. The memory falters but it seems I got 10 or at most 12. Most of my selections were jazz as I'd just gotten into it about that time. I'm not even certain of the ones I chose now, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Going back prior to my interest in jazz I was a fan of harmony vocals, first in some doo-wop, then the folk craze -- Kingston Trio anyone? So as my jazz interests grew, I enjoyed music from The Four Freshmen and the Hi-Los. Here's an example -ht... |
