| Jazz for aficionados Craig Handy & 2nd Line Smith gets a mixed review from me. When It's good, it great. Unfortunately it only feels good for me 1/2 the time. Probably a killa band to see live!If you're feeling in a swingin' 'Nawlins mood, I highly recommend a rec... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Michele Rosewoman released one of the top Latin Jazz recordings this past year!Michele Rosewoman's New Yor-Uba! VERY ethnic/folkoric mixed with very exciting Jazz voicings. Not for the faint-hearted though!;)http://www.michelerosewoman.com/newyoruba/ | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help I just cured a spkr hum problem yesterday! Directly thx to A'gon! A little background 1st. A few years ago I moved from a house to an apt. I set up my system exactly as I did in the house, fired it up and there was a low-level hum/buzz that wasn't... | |
| CSNY Live 1974 I remember seeing CSN&Y, The Beach Boys, and Joni Mitchell (feat. Jaco Pastorious!!!) back in the day! WHATASHOW!! | |
| Sheffield Lab 'Blazing Redheads' was a Reference Recordings release. For me being an absolute Latin Jazz fanatic, this record is the 'Jazz At The Pawnshop' of the genre (I own it!), a spectacular recording of a very pedestrian band, more of a collector's item f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've always felt a valid comparison can be made to Son/Salsa (latin dance music) and the time when Big Band Jazz + vocalists was the Pop music of America. Those big bands had complex charts, mighty brass sections, tremendous vocalists that very of... | |
| Apartment Drama I'm with those that feel you CAN live in an apt. and be an audiophile. But it's a learning process. I've owned homes but currently I rent an apt. BTW, owning a condo can be equally frustrating, same set of problems except you CAN'T just up and mov... | |
| The State of Jazz +1 on Charlap's Bernstein, one of my absolute favorite piano trio records! | |
| SRV Instrumental tracks and similar artists OK, chk out:Oz Noy - 'Ha!', 'Schizophrenic', & Twisted Blues, Vol. 1'.Michael Landau - The Star Spangled banner', 'Tales Of The Bulge', & 'Organic Instrumentals'. Michael's also recorded 2 live records in 2000 and 2006. The guy has recorde... | |
| Latin Female Singers - Any suggestions? If you enjoy Brazilian female vocals you should check out Joyce (Joy-seh). I own 'Joyce & Banda Maluca - Just A Little Bit Crazy' and 'Joyce with Dori Caymmi - Rio Bahia'. Very authentic and very, very cool!Another favorite would be Cesaria Ev... | |
| SRV Instrumental tracks and similar artists Scott Henderson - Dog Party | |
| Glaring Omissions I've listened to/absorbed Michael Brecker's discography much more than I ever did John Coltrane's! I own 4-5 Coltrane records and have most of his work with Miles but....it certainly doesn't mean I'm any less of a Jazz fan. Music appreciation is d... | |
| Jazz Musician's Sonic Signature After looking at many of the picks it occurred to me that there's very few bassists listed. It's possible but very difficult to pick out acoustic bassists. But electric is another thing altogether. I honestly have no problem picking out Marcus Mil... | |
| The State of Jazz I guess it's easier to make a blanket statement about Jazz ending blah, blah, blah.... than to do a little digging for yourself. Some people need to be spoonfed and some like to cook their own meals, just sayin'!;) | |
| Jazz for aficionados LOVE Sophisticated Giant! I've got my original beat up vinyl copy, a used European pristine vinyl copy, and the CD! Columbia released 'Montreux Summit', 2 dbl LP's featuring their artist roster live in Montreux during the 70's. Largely a monster F... |
