Yes, a romantic ballad at that.
Are there any Tool fans here?
I feel that Undertow is far superior sounding than any others, especially the new one. It was recorded at Sound City back in the day where some of the best albums were recorded. Its console was the Neve console that Dave Groul now owns. Vintage gear and Eqs on that console can not be reproduced.

I’m not one to judge the musical tastes of others, but ... This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJqkN1w0fFg vs This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxviGrBMKKY My point about judging the demise of our civil society based upon ten-year increments in music? ... I rest my case. :-) And by the way, that Cannonball Adderley/Bill Evans album is a must-have. Great performance and demo-quality sound. Frank |
zyphryx ...
Yes. The best cut is on side two, cut three. Truly a great album. Frank |
^^^ I’ve got two words for ya, Geoff ... and it’s not "Happy Birthday." *LMAO* nses03 ... Sketches of Spain? Hey, I’m still hung up on "Birth of The Cool." :-) Frank |
auxinput ... There's no question that what you say is true. I clearly remember my parents complaining when I first discovered BeBop jazz and Rhythm and Blues. They were still hung up on the Big Band jazz from the 1940's. We watched a lot of the Lawrance Welk TV shows back then. When Louis Armstrong first heard Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, he was very dismissive of BeBop, saying that it sounded like "Chinese music." He hated it. But then, he was a classic jazz musician, in the New Orleans tradition. My intent isn't to put down anyone's taste in music. You should hear some of the stuff I listen to. *lol* In looking at, and listening to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxviGrBMKKY I'm sorry, but it is coming from a place I definitely don't want to explore.

redlenses03 ... This one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S1UC4GKcvU&list=PLVG1KRr_9ktFPDolNocVHs3YDmI6XngEb One of the coolest jazz albums ever. Frank |
Now, THIS is some great drumming! I love drummers who play music, and she certainly does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Yw8aaqnnrg Here's a tribute to the person who was arguably the best jazz drummer of all time ... and no, it is not Shelly Manne: Click on each picture for the videos. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video;_ylt=Awr9BNoYrLVdAcYAJT5XNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEyNDloNHFiBGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMzBHZ0aWQDQTA2MDdfMQRzZWMDc2M-?p=stan+levey+drummer&fr=chr-yo_gc#id=4&vid=c542367ae55fdc75adca5ff89a1e41b2&action=view |
auxinput ... I checked out the last Youtube link you posted. I think I'm starting to get it. I liked the intro instrumental. Reminded me of Pink Floyd. Now if only the vocalist could be replaced with Mel Torme' I'd be all set. *lol* Frank |
nonoise ... Four of my posts were removed from this thread as well. None of the forum rules were violated in any of them. Go figure ... Frank |
geoffkait ... You ain't heard your stereo system until you've played Dean Martin's "Dream With Dean" album. No joke. Frank |
