| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim , no need to thank me, glad to post something that you like. His playing is very 'intense', but he has some 'melodic' albums as well. Troubled man, I read, but great player. Here is one album where he plays as sideman, the album was po... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I went digging thru my cd's, remembered afterwards that I could consult kind people from google. Anyway, Roy Haynes recorded two more albums with Phineas Newborn jr.(that I have) but with different bass player (John Simmons instead of Paul Chambe... | |

| Jazz for aficionados As Acman said, this is just a ’sweet recod’...got it lately, very nice Rosemary Clooney with Duke and his orchestra, album is called 'Blue Rose' from 1956. https://youtu.be/2BINtiLBHCI?feature=shared https://youtu.be/ND1pq66a1tY?feature=shared | |
| Time For a CD Player Upgrade As a long time user of cd players and someone who does not care for pc audio or streaming I would advise you to choose a player from brands that are still making and service them. Than, I would look for established brands that are known for making... | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. I would say that being (or not) an 'audiophile' (or just having a decent gear) has more to do with habit of listening music than anything else. Cost of equipment may be a problem, as well as lack of living space, but when I look at younger folks ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lenghty post, but interesting story. Could not share a link, so I copy pasted it. In the late 40s, there was a rumor that there was a "hermit," disenchanted and disillusioned with the world, supposedly "out-of-sync" with society, living in Cal... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman , nice words...and yes, best to him, where ever hi is. Perhaps one day Rok will share his name, so that we can have one drink in his memory... Orpheus also liked lady vocals, do not know if we have ever mentioned this singer, but I just ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray Dont be shy, there are not many people posting here anyway...which is perhaps strange,because there are so many views of this thread... For our regular crew (and others too) this is another Howard McGhee’s album worth mentioning: ’Sharp E... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I completely agree. The only 'reason' I would choose any over other (speaking of Miles) is because I like more the sound of some group, tone wise, comparing it other. (Coleman instead of Shorter. for example) As for Evans, seamlessly is th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As Frogman wrote before, for him the Miles’ “Second Great Quintet” is the greatest Jazz ensemble that ever was. Any other thoughts? If pressed, I would probably pick one of Bill Evans trios, as one that I like the most...pretty obvious, I know | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, no need to explain yourself, I fully understand your point. (and I would dare to say, even perspective in which Miles headed in that period of time) I have not respond on your previous, longer, post about second quintet, because we have s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I like his sound more than Shorters. In his autobiography, Miles said “He was a hell of a musician, but Tony [Williams] didn’t like him. Tony wanted somebody who was reaching for different kinds of things, like Ornette Coleman.” Williams, Hancock... |
