| How much are beats headphones and the sound? Coincidentally, I just came from getting some work done to my car. While I was waiting I read the 'Music' issue of ESPN sports magazine that had an article about Lebron James, Dr. Dre, and the Beats headphones. I didn't know James is a investor/pa... | |
| Oppo DV-981HD for $50 for 2ch? I own one that I bought when it 1st came out. It's a workhorse and it's audio/video is very good. But it was cheap when I bought it, you might want to check Ebay to get an idea what they're going for these days. The display isn't good and the disc... | |
| Great Overall Career Arc -- Group/Solo Jst playin' with the theme of the thread! I don't own a single Beyoncé song but I'll admit to owning the 1st 2 Maroone 5 CD's (bought 'em used though!). When they 1st came out I heard a serious 'Police' influence in their music. Since than, they'v... | |

| Jazz for aficionados OK, since you opened the door with the 'Bengal Jazz' clip, here's one by the outstanding NY Gypsy All-Stars. Probably not going to float everybody's boat, but give it a chance. It's great stuff!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p66kffsA_mQ&featur... | |
| Mel Torme Mel did a fantastic Big Band record with Rob McConnell & the Boss Brass! | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels +1 on Paco De Lucia, he's the real deal! Perhaps slightly more contemporary but very tasty would be the duo Strunz & Farah. Check out 'Live' and be prepared to be dazzled! | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Does the Bass, the instrument, have any special place in Cuban music as compared to other Latin music??"Considered one of the original fathers of Cuban Descarga (Jam) is Israel 'Cachao' Lopez. This legendary Cuban bass player's been actively reco... | |
| Why does most new music suck? I think anyone that digs/dug Led Zeppelin should check out Black Country Communion, a modern Rock 'supergroup' that happens to not only channel that classic Led Zep sound/style but also features Jason Bonham (who really sounds so much like his dad!). | |
| Why does most new music suck? Wazzup Frogman! You misunderstood my post as I wasn't addressing the OP at all.Rok - Dude, I try to read most of the music-related threads here (out of curiosity more than anything else) and when I read yr posts they come off as declarations. If t... | |
| Why does most new music suck? The problem with Rokid's 'challenge' is as follows. When dealing with someone who's clearly let it be known that they have limited musical acceptance levels, why bother? We all have our musical preferences, and while I certainly don't enjoy ALL ty... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Big +1 on Bob Mintzer! When CD's 1st came out (mid 80's), Tower Records used to carry Japanese imports of releases unavailable in the states (of American artists!). I own Mintzer's 1st 2 records (recorded just prior to his excellent Big Band recor... | |
| Well-produced recent jazz cd's - recommendations? "No doubt I'll be buying more Anat Cohen!"I'm a big Anat Cohen fan(and her label; ANZIC)! 1st heard her at a used CD shop, goin' thru the racks, I saw this dbl CD that had the print sides printed to look like LP's! I never heard of the band or the... | |
| Why do some audiophiles beat up McIntosh? I remember seeing the Mac TT at an open house that prominently featured Mac gear. When I asked to hear it, I was told it wasn't hooked up!!?? Talk about yr wtf moments! |
