Artemus, glad you enjoyed Kind of Blue....it was a groundbreaking change in the direction of jazz. Miles to me is one of the titans of the jazz genre.
I Think I Am Becoming An Audiophile
I listened to and mostly enjoyed Miles Davis “Kind of Blue” yesterday. This is a 1st for me. I’ve had the disk for 10-15 yrs. But I’ve never been able to stay awake through it. Then I listened to Harry “Sweets” Edison & Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis “In Copenhagen” (MFSL) last night. And I enjoyed this too. Both these were experiments with the Triode Mode on amp engaged. My system has been improved lately and really sounds good. But I still didn’t expect to finally like jazz . It still doesn’t touch my soul like classic rock. But it’s a start. Though I’ve never cared for jazz (or female vocals. Yuk) I’ve not belittled it because musical taste is highly subjective. Quite honestly, I’ve noticed that as the system sounds better, more genres become enjoyable for me. I suspect this speaks to the situation where you see a band live, and like them, though you have never cared for their recordings
On a side note, even though my system is at its best I STILL want another amp!! This has gone on too long. I can see that I will not be satisfied until I get another amp!! My wife, OTOH..... Well she was an accountant.....................nuff said.
