| Jazz for aficionados My suggestion for Joe Henderson, try the whole album or at least look for favorite tunes -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN4voczlaxk | |
| Jazz for aficionados And now for something completely different.I heard this on my favored jazz station this morning and it raised an interesting question -- what is the most unusual instrument featured in a jazz recording?One seemingly easy answer might be the bagpip... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, sorry but I just realized I never confirmed your question about the Chevy pictured with that video. Yes, it was a 1958 Impala. That was the first year the Impala replaced the Bel-Air as their top model. A friend in HS had a turquoise '58 I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman, great stuff. I was completely unfamiliar with them.As so many have commented, that's one thing that makes this site so wonderful, so a tip o' the chapeau to o10 for bringing us all together. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the kind words frog. I've not listened to some of my WR albums in some time so I need to give a re-do listen. Off the top of my head I can't pick one I consider exceptional. Favorite(s) may change depending on mood. But I always con... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for joining us supertweak.Weather Report has been a favored band for me for years. And while I realize personal experience can vary a great deal, and I do appreciate "Mysterious Traveler", was that really such a uniquely creative album to ... | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm Ralph, congratulations for that. I knew it was some time ago you established Atma-Sphere, but at my age narrowing down specifics for time is not always easy. I will only add that nearly 30 years ago I owned a pair of your MA-1 amps, 100 wpc as I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, interesting post on Little Willie John. I just became a teenager about the time rock and roll emerged in popularity. I remember John but strangely not that song in his original version. However in my defense, during the ’50s there were still ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, I enjoyed Bernadette's performance, but it can't displace Peggy Lee as #1.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGb5IweiYG8&list=PL18E00C84FF26FA25BTW, I've heard that Shelly Manne was drummer on that, but I don't have the record to reference ... | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm raul, I must say I'm disappointed by your reference to Ralph as a rookie. You and I met some years ago and I have great respect for your audio knowledge and that in person you impress as a real gentleman. But some of your replies here seem quite... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, that was a good selection to show how various instruments contribute to orchestral sound. Also the brisk tempo defies the idea that classical music is too slow and plodding. I enjoyed seeing the energy of many of the musicians as they "lea... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, I'm sorry I failed to read your reference to classical as being humorous. My reply was intended to be gentle since "some" folks probably would consider music by any full orchestra (say more than 60 pieces) to be classical in nature.Please be... | |
| Recommendation for a modern Duntech Sovereign 2001 replacement shadorne, I'm not an engineer but I don't believe the number of transducers is the major factor in determining the necessary amp power. If that was the case then the Infinity IRS would have required something like a welding machine to drive them. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, not to split hairs, but I doubt many would consider that "classical". It simply utilizes a full orchestra. While it's true that several classical composers wrote scores for films, "soundtracks" seem to have developed their own category of m... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G vinyl, in my opinion that "hatred" is misguided.Those who have been in this hobby a long time such as myself will remember the advertisements from a certain belt-drive table manufacturer in Glasgow who criticized direct drive tables for cogging. ... |
