| Your Top Five for 2003 -Geez, there's no way to amputate it down to five without some kind of torture or some pretty convincing threats (it's not gonna happen by email). It's probably just plain stupid to hope that this listing could help the following musicians get lis... | |
| Jazz listening has dulled my taste for Rock...you? Poor digital transfering, and the voicing priorities of many high end components can really hurt some pretty good (especially rock) recordings. Apart from that, the last few decades have produced thousands of releases that help to blur or reconfig... | |
| Favourite labels Pretentious winos w/ expensive tastes often get razzed for being label drinkers. I try not to be a label listener, but when (pretentiously) going through the racks or browsing online, seeing one of these labels will make me spazz out for a second:... | |
| I need some suggestions for some new speakers... The GMA Europa can be pretty amazing, placement is not difficult, but good stands (Osiris makes some good ones) will help. There's no shortage of Europa endorsers on this site, you may be able to dig up some useful info from a few of them. | |
| Jazz drum music recommendations? Check the archives under favorite drummers, i think Buscis 2 is to blame for starting the thread. | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo Wanna wear horse hair underwear? Swear to a life of celibacy...pick one favorite guitar solo? Hey Buscis, y'know, i tried for a couple of minutes, but asking for that is just being MEAN! Anyway, here's a few more good ones (in no particular order)... | |
| Ageless Music? Yup, whether a piece of music "lives" on or not depends totally on who is around in the future to appreciate it. Any proclamations about a recordings cultural viability (or lack of it) is pretty speculative, but we all have our favorites. Miles Da... | |
| Michael Hedges. Fantastic CD......Aerial B..... Hedges still had alot left in the tank, (he did a show in Davis CA a couple of months before he died that dazed and humbled a packed house of jaded guitar addicts). It's obvious that quite a few guitar players have heard him and you can hear them ... | |
| Guilty Pleasures Hey Buscis 2, Joe's Garage 2&3 iz very swift to behold, the fatty and L. Ron Hoover Appliantology stuff might land you in an orange jump suit tho'. Same w/ The Mentors Up The Dose... if you end up liking it, you'll be so ashamed. | |
| Naxos CDs with Great Sound The Naxos Jazz catalog is pretty stong too. The Tom Christensen/Gualala cd comes off like an exceptionally tight and well recorded chamber ensemble that does'nt neatly fit into any one category, (oboe, english horn, clarinets, tenor and soprano sa... | |
| Electric guitar a la Mike Stern I think some of Stern's best playing was w/ Miles and you may find some of the discs he put out afterwards to be a bit tame and generic. You might wanna' try some of these:John Abercrombie- Timeless, Gateway 1 (black cover)Blue Effekt (also known ... | |
| Good italian music for slide show Alot of timeless excellent music that is uniquely Italian (and often gets categorized as progressive rock or jazz) came out during the 70's. You may want to check out:Banco/Garofano Rosso (a soundtrack)Arti + Mestieri/Giro di Valzer per DomaniPeri... | |
| Favourite Guitar CDs Hey Sean, with Buckethead, i'd start w, Praxis Metatron (you can probably get it real cheap at half .com or Django's). For acoustic Buckethead, try Jonas Hellborg/Octave of the Holy Innocents.There are alot of excellent recordings of guitarists wh... | |
| I need a live great recording Alot of great recordings that may not technically be live (not recorded in front of an audience?), have been recorded in one take, using a simple miking approach w/ no overdubbing or steroidal treatments. Discs like Peter Epstein/Old School, Joey ... | |
| Shawn Lane R.I.P. Cpdunn, Not sure what you meant when you wrote "music is a team effort". Are you saying that there are no great (or even musically redeeming) single instrumentalist performances or recordings? Anyway the 1994 Hellborg/Lane/Baker, Abstract Logic di... |
