| Jazz for aficionados o10, I’ve been fascinated by several percussionists I’ve heard in Middle-Eastern music. The variety and nuance they can produce from one or two small drums is amazing, plus the speed and duration of a line.For your groove today this is the most ja... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, I expect you know that Monk was not given the middle name Sphere at birth, he adopted it as an adult. There was a family connection to the name Speer and he liked the idea with that name he could not be called square. ;^)That is mentioned ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary jo, that was funny. Hope others caught it too. ;^) | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, many great albums on your list, even if several of them are repeats. ;^)And while I don't feel qualified to identify a "X best list", I'll further admit my own personal favorites could change from one day to the next. How's that for confusin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "stop and think people". Very good advice rok, which you might take yourself.Who stated that KOB and SE were the two best jazz albums in creation? I certainly didn't, and I don't believe o10 did either.My understanding was this discussion debated... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, how did you think I didn’t believe SE was well received? Read my post again, I said "but I can believe SE was very well received."I do own, appreciate, and enjoy the album. But it seems we hold different perspectives over whether SE or KOB is... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now, concerning this discussion comparing SE with KOB.It’s one thing to talk about a given album’s rating after the release. I didn’t research SE’s Downbeat rating for example, or any others, but I can believe SE was very well received.However it ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, it wasn't my intent to "fault" her performance of "Cry Me A River" so much as to offer the comment that the presentation reminded me of a Bond theme song, for example Shirley Bassey.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D1nK7q2i8I | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, your sidemen comment is spot on. That is one of the reasons I enjoy many of my older favorite LPs again and again, I continue finding nuances not noticed in an initial playing.Also, while I greatly enjoy "Somethin' Else", I'm sure there was ... | |
| Grado Stylus Upgrade Not to hijack this now older discussion, but I have a related Grado question.Among a few cartridges I got from a dealer friend when he could no longer handle vinyl playback was a Grado 8MX. I don't recall ever seeing anything on that, only the 8M... | |
| New Technics SL1200gr, anyone taken the leap. knollbrent, hope you will report back once you've had the JLTi in your system awhile. I bought an early version, then added a regulated outboard power supply before they began offering that as an option.That was a few years ago and I continue to ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, "we have so many gems in our collections that we forget to play some of them until reminded". I agree. And that is a reason I'm beginning to cull my entire music collection. But for me that exercise relates to my age. I really can't imagi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, nice addition. I don't have anything else by Lande but have enjoyed this one for years. | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, I expect that meant Juilliard students are expected to study classical composers, not Monk. ;^)acman, thanks for the additions. I almost included something from Ellis but decided I’d offered enough. But also to paraphrase that Mexican beer (c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, more Monk arranged by Overton? Hope you have this one then -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yxfJZ7RhTo&list=PLp1OjP0tJn_GkWoUjFr2PGqZhKqd5s_1p |
