| How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music? Listen to Tom Harrell's song; 'Wise Children' on THIS day. If you feel nothing perhaps it's time for a new hobby! | |
| which amps go well with Spendors Spendor's are extremely amp-friendly. That said, the better the amp, the better the sound (duh!). Music Reference RM9 - TUBES baby!!;) | |
| How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music? Surprised by the posters who, apparently, don't find music to be emotionally moving. Makes me wonder why they bother with this hobby/pursuit in the 1st place.Instead of a thread about whether or not a turntable makes one an audiophile, perhaps it ... | |
| Allen Toussaint album: The Bright Mississippi Phil, the episode I cited is the season 1 finale (there's been 2 seasons so far). By all means, I strongly recommend starting at the beginning. Treme deals with post-Katrina New Orleans. It's beautiful and unique televison, made more so due to the... | |
| Allen Toussaint album: The Bright Mississippi The Bright Mississippi is considered Toussaint's 1st Jazz record. For those not familiar with the recording, it's NOT a standard ol' school Jazz record. A beautiful recording, intelligently written and played. A bit on the somber side, but beautif... | |
| Having an ear for Jazz Very interesting to see Ken Burns 'Jazz' mentioned as a catalyst for Jazz. Among hard-core Jazzistas the documentary over-simplified and incomplete. There was NO mention of Fusion, or Latin Jazz (or the latin connection to the earliest roots of Ja... | |
| Allen Toussaint album: The Bright Mississippi It's a beautiful record (I own it) BUT....I saw Allen Toussaint on HBO's Treme, he was featured in a segment where he was recording some classic New Orleans 'hits'. Tellyawhat, I'd pay money for THAT recording!!;) | |
| Having an ear for Jazz My mother loved the Big Bands as this type of music WAS the Pop music of her day, so I was exposed to Jazz since early childhood. Back in the 60's/70's, Rock artists were allowed to jam so recordings by groups like Traffic, Cream, Zappa, Hendrix, ... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz That clip of Dave Grusin comes from the excellent 'DG presents West Side Story' DVD. I own both the CD & the DVD. Unfortunately, this clip and the whole DVD are unsynced video shown with the original recording. It's easy to get caught up in th... | |
| Underrated jazz greats Paquito D'Rivera - Winner of bookcases full of awards, invited to the White House and is loved world-wide. That said, he absolutely isn't even thought of by most Jazz-lovers when considering 'best of' type status. IMO, he's simply one of the fines... | |
| seeking 55 inch LED TV matte Screen, 2011 model Always wondered about questions re: video on Audiogon. There used to be a link at the bottom of the page but regardless, you do know there's a Videogon (Audiogons' little sister!;) | |
| Great films where music is a central theme. Kansas CityCrossroadsCalle 54Chico & RitaThe Mambo KingsThe Big Easyand the greatest TV show featuring music...ever...TREME! | |
| Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better? Always surprised at the general bad rap Chesky, CTI, & GRP usually generate. I can certainly recognize a lot of the dogs these companies released (sometimes by very respectable artists!), but all these companies also've released quite a few ex... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2011 Tedeschi/Trucks Band - 'Renovator', & Levon Helm - 'Live' | |
| can i improve my system with a better cd player? Is yr Sony-7000 the old DVD player with the front face that slides down to reveal the drawer and buttons? If it is you should know that that particular unit was considered a giant-killer transport! I own one (not being used right now), I did some ... |
