| Frustrated with Bonamassa Live CDs This brings up the eternal audiophile question. Are you in it for the music or the sound? Joey B. is the reigning guitar god of this generation, bar none. So even though the records may sound inferior, to not get them is to miss out on some fantas... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not quite sure what you mean when you say 'the band was always trying to keep up with him'. Love him or hate him, Sinatra was a consummate singer with perfect time. That word 'prat' (pace, rhythm, & timing) that seems popular today seems to be... | |
| Recommendations for Arab and Mid-Eastern fusion. New York Gypsy All-Stars - Romantech - Terrific music!Tamer Pinabasi - Soundscapes/The Secret Trio: A new concept in Chamber Music - Featuring 2 members of the NYGAS, it's stunning! You can find many clips of these 2 rec's on Youtube, check 'em out! | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels Here's one that although it isn't a stereotypical Flamenco/Classical recording I find it interesting, and more importantly, good enough to be included in a guitar thread! Vocalist (Jazz?) Cyrille Aimee's latest; 'It's A Good Day' features her uniq... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Randy's work is what got my attention...", "I'm going to create a channel for HER...".????? I've been a Randy Brecker fan for over 40 years. I've seen him and his brother Michael (RIP) many, many times. His body of work is prodigious and eclectic... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've always believed in the East/West coast sound/style difference. Of course this doesn't mean ALL the music can be automatically categorized as such but yeah, it exists. Not only in Jazz. I believe it's also applicable to Rock, Latin, and Rap. I... | |
| Quality system, make poor recordings sound better? This phenomena is something us old-timers have been discussing for decades. This suggests to me that the OP might be a relative newcomer to the hobby. IMO there's 2 schools of thought. The 1st being that a system can be so ruthlessly revealing tha... | |
| Most enduring audio purchase I bought both the same year, the rest of the system has, and continues, to evolve as I see fit BUT....my Linn Lingo LP12 and my Spendor S100's have been with me since 1990! | |
| My wife passed yesterday My deepest sympathy for your loss. I had one of my favorite Audio memories stem from devastating circumstances. My parents were both killed in an infamous hotel fire in Puerto Rico in '86. After they were buried I remained in PR to finalize their ... | |
| A fond farewell to The Allman Brothers Band I saw the Allmans a few times but the most memorable was the original line-up at the Fillmore East. They played a week-long engagement featuring Elvin Bishop 3rd billing, Johnny Winter And, 2nd, and the Allmans. It was from this concert series tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Cool to see some love for Stanley T. A CTI record was the 1st Jazz record I ever bought; California Concert. It was the 1st time I'd ever heard Freddie Hubbard, George Benson, Stanley T., Hubert Laws, Ron Carter, Airto, & Hank Crawford. I was ... | |
| for any bluegrass fans... Ricky Skaggs' recordings with Kentucky Thunder are state of the art Bluegrass! Also, his record with Bruce Hornsby is actually quite good, with the most killin', different take on Rick James 'Super Freak' you'll ever hear!! | |
| Edgar Winter is still alive. Of course Frankenstein is Edgar's biggest hit. Anyone that's enjoyed this tune should check Edgar's latest version on his 'Jazzin' The Blues' record. totally different, Frankie's swingin'!;) | |
| Value of Sony XBR Tube TV's I still own a 34" (rectangular screen) Sony. Their last gasp in high end solid state tube HDTV was their 910-960 line and were considered to have the best picture by videophiles for quite some time. It sits in the corner of my bedroom and I have i... | |
| cd-r music for blanks I've settled into buying Sony from Ebay. 12-13 bucks for a pack of 50. Different vendors sell the same product at wildly different prices so it's to compare before you commit! |
