| Jazz for aficionados Acman, those Steve Turre clips were really boss; Ray Charles on one, and Chucho Valdes on the other, really took them over the top. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "Don't Go To Strangers" is probably one of the best recorded records, as well as the most perfect classic jazz vocals of all time. | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? To answer the question, I would say "yes", because it takes a lot of effort to hear the best, including reading many stereo magazines, and going places where you hear the best equipment. | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? The so called "best" amplifies sound as opposed to the music. I auditioned the very top of the line ARC, including CD player, and it amplified sounds in the background that I have never been able to duplicate or heard so clearly, even though I've... | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? It is a good buy if you can still replace all the rubber in the deck; that gets old. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Man and Woman, there is so much good "straight ahead" jazz out there that we don't have to waste money on new crap. I know the next time somebody tells me I have to adjust my hearing for some "new jazz" I'm going to come where ever he is and "Bop... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think that clip of Ray Charles is proof of what I've been saying all the time; Professional musicians do not have to spend forever practicing and rehearsing, especially if they are performing several times a week; jazz and Ray Charles music is a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, if you are talking about the source of my story about Newman, it was in the movie Bio of Ray Charles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auu9b6qW3YU | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'm having a hard time swallowing the interview Acman posted. In his heart, Grant Green was not "Funk"; I heard Grant Green play for himself, and I'm sure that was the truest music he ever played; this was in 58, before Blue Note.If you listen to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, the beef was not directly with Ray Charles, it was with his musical director who was treating David Newman like a rookie with his rules which David wasn't going along with, and Ray sided with the director who he had placed in charge. Sin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Although Newman played for Ray Charles, in my opinion, he got too advanced for Ray Charles, and split after the band director began treating him like a choir boy, and told him to be on time for practice. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I knew a girl who could dance, and could she shake her hips to this tune. If you can not dance, or know a girl who can dance to this tune, or imagine a girl dancing to this tune, just sit quietly and listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I had that album, and I remember that I really liked the cover; it seems to have vanished. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? I have been listening to the Sony Cassette deck all morning, and I discovered that it has a beguiling quality, that wouldn't let me turn it off; especially when I quit comparing it to my other sources.Maybe that's the key to the cassette; just qui... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary_jo, the music by Sissoko and Segal is very cerebral; I could relax and meditate to it all day long. They are new people I will add to my collection.Man can not live on "Hard Bop" alone. |
