| Jazz for aficionados Great links on this page guys, thanks.With nearly 200 pages, I’ve got some catching up to do.O-so Dorothy didn’t grow on you? I gave it another whirl(had to dig deep to find her) and like it a little more this time. It’s an album to mix things up,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados orpheus10-Howard is one of those guys many have heard, but not aware of. As Wiki mentions, he did so many of those show music themes in the 60-70's along with the wrecking crew stuff.Interesting you linked Dorothy Ashby. On a recommendation by m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frogman-Steve Kahn is one of those guys like Larry Carlton who played on a ton of albums. One of those musicians who came up as straight ahead was going in many different directions. Killer guitar player. O-Heres a dude you may be familiar with.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I can always find time to watch Wes. Just mesmerizing to watch him play. O- if you dont already have the DVD "Live in 65" I strongly recommend you get it. It's one of a series "Jazz Icons""I would just smile...You will have to explain that to me ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados orpehues10-Thats a wonderful story. Thanks!The interesting thing about Grant Greens playing is, that cat never or rarely played chords! He was a single note playin kind of a guy.I wish I could find an authentic PLAYABLE Grant Green record.His albu... | |
| Best copy of Wish You Were Here Just adding an interesting fact regarding the "Hot Stamper" reference.My local record store has had "scouts" from the HS camp, going thru the bins. This was several years ago.Yes, some of those $400 copies are indeed, $6 buck, regular presses.Tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-that was a tasty serving..thank you sir!I agree with frogmans assesment. If anyone is a Wes Montgomery fan, even his later albums are covers of "songwriter" and pop tunes with guitar doing the vocal lines. I've read that because of the declinin... | |
| FM alive and well here...curious question zar-I think it is also is dependent on genre station listened to. If it's rock and pop, yes. On the PBS stations, not nearly as much, but the on air guys are flapping their gums way more than in the past. Some of the reason may now be listeners/co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "I find it embarrassing that the concept seems to have originated by a FM station here in San Diego several years ago."If you listened to any LA Jazz radio in the 80-90’s,you’re familiar with the great Chuck Niles. He often voiced his dislike of "... | |

| Fm tuner Do your ears a favor and find a MR65/71 tubed Mcintosh.With some effort, you can find a unit for $7-800 and it will perform and sound nicer than any of the value SS units you can find for a couple hundred bucks. The Scott tuners are great, perhap... | |
| Jazz for aficionados orpheus10-Morning breakfast here, enjoying a cup of dark Italian roast while listening to a 10" Barney Kessel on the Contemporary label. Simply fabulous music.I was fortunate in getting this one cleaned on one of those fancy Audiodesk ultrasoni... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "When it comes to music, I'm mostly into "classic jazz"; although I've tried to venture out, I always come back,"Orpheus-With all the derivatives in music today, "straight ahead" Jazz is like coming home.Im not a fan of "smooth jazz" which seems ... | |
| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil This cable lifting phenomenon seems to be a case by case situation.I requested my girlfriend and her friend to hold left and right speaker cables while playing a tune.While it was a pleasant sight, I heard no sonic improvement. I will suggest bot... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10-Your choice in Lady Day's music is from perhaps her best period-between 1940-1950's. By the time she was signed to Verve, her storied life was nearing. It's no wonder how Billie and Ella sang beautifully, they both lived tough lives, whi... |
