| Jazz for aficionados Tom Harrell is one of the great ones! Besides the records I own of him playing with Phil Woods I've got, and easily recommend, 'Time's Mirror', 'Paradise', & 'Live At The Vanguard'. There's one that I own that's always been a dichotomy for me;... | |
| Sennheiser HD650 and ipod I've been using my 10yr old HD600's more than ever since I picked up a Fiio E12 + L9 cable (for under $140!). I use it with my 160 GB iPod classic that has close to 6000 songs on it. The cable bypasses the pods amp resulting in a very clean and po... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Always thought Ronnie Wood was more of a force to be reckoned with when he was with Stewart & The Faces. Never thought he was as good as Mick Taylor was in the Stones. Wood fit in better with the Stones' image but he was never in the same clas... | |
| Sometimes the record companies got it right.... I enjoy sarcasm!;) I think SOME record companies get/got it right. Most times it feels/felt like good music happens in SPITE of the record companies! B117 - think your fingers got in the way! A&R = artists and repertoire!;) | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Huge Matt Bianco/Basia fan! She was their lead singer but left the band to pursue her solo career. She than returned to record 'Matt's Mood' which IMO is the best MB recording. I was fortunate to catch them in Atlanta w/Basia during this time, wha... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Los Lobos are one of the greatest American bands ever. Their 'Live At The Fillmore' is tremendous! | |
| horace silver has died '27th Man' was one of the 1st Jazz records I ever bought. Truthfully, I bought it because the Brecker bros. were on it, didn't know who Silver was! Man, I loved that record! Last one of his I got was the Hard Bop Grandpop, recorded over 2 decades ... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Lately I've been checking out the TV show 'Kitchen Nightmares'. Wouldn't it be great to have a show like this but with Audio shops instead of restaurants with hidden cameras and a Gordon Ramsey-ish audio guy coming to critique and go nose to nose ... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? For me, whether the High End is gaining ground or dying is irrelevant. It would only matter if my livelihood was based on this industry. Otherwise.....I got my gear, I got my music, it's absolutely essential to me and my life but as to whether or ... | |
| Father's Day For An Audiophile Mid 80's my ex-wife bought me Nakamichi BX300 cassette recorder for my birthday. A few years later she bought me my Spendor S100's for Xmas. Of course I chose them, she just paid for them. Come to think of it, she used my money! But it's the thoug... | |
| In Santana we trust If you really want to talk obscure....if you're a fan of the original Santana band sound here's 2 records you might want to check out. The 1st being original Santana keyboard player Gregg Rolie's 'Roots'. Recorded in 2001, sounds like what the ban... | |
| In Santana we trust Besides 'Havana Moon' and 'Blues For Salvador' he made 3 other interesting solo records when he was calling himself Devadip Carlos Santana (ala Mahavishnu John McLaughlin). The best IMO was 'The Swing Of Delight'. Although he used various other mu... | |
| In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later The Capitol theater I went to was in Port chester, NY. Still in business today! | |
| In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later Here's a tale from the good ol' days. I got tickets to see Yes (3rd billing, Humble Pie (2nd billing, and Black Sabbath (top billing) at the Capitol theater (an old moviehouse converted to a concert venue, ala the Fillmore). At the time their reco... | |
| In Santana we trust Havana Moon & Blues For Salvador are both very solid records. They're 'solo' albums, wish he'd do more of this kind of work instead of the commercial dreck he's been putting out for too long! |
