| Jazz for aficionados @tyray , 😂 When I first joined this forum (14 yrs ago!) my youngest son had just received a present from his grandmother. Very cute pajamas with frogs all over them and we affectionately started calling my son “frogman”. When prompted to choose... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries In spite of the fact that Bob chose to not check his cynicism at the door and felt it was ok to ignore decorum, or simple pleasantry, I will try and be proactive and point out what he is missing. One never knows. This, of course, is assuming that... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Did you see the Blanchard operas at the Met? | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Definitely. Let’s not forget Berlioz Requiem. Munch conducting Boston Symphony is wonderful. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBrs-r77FPJKOAW0GMy6wQbyAxDb_xDN6&si=-OEl6Kxl6OlH3cE_ | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray , wow, that’s guide a spread Lew Tabackin and Ralph Towner. Tabacking the traditiinalist to Towner who is anything but. Love.it. You make an interesting comment about the rhythm section on “”Impressions”. While I’m not prepared to say C... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for that, acman3. Loved it. Probably the most unusual (and really good) version of Giant Steps I’ve heard. Glad to get to know this interesting new singe. A nod to Stevie Wonder on the ballad singing and one can tell that he is a piano... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog , for the record, my comments were not a reference to anything you wrote. I’m sure you are well versed in the meaning of the word. | |

| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Great point, @acman3 ! | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Re “getting it”: No one is suggesting that one has to like music that one is trying to “get”. This music is an artist’s expression. It belongs to the artist. The listener is a “guest”. Liking it can be considered secondary. Again, humility. ... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog , I am mystified! I used your search criteria and the only hit (first hit) that has “Maria Callas” in the title, this one accompanied by a pic (painting?) of Callas is in fact, 5:18 mins long. However, the clip is not of Callas. ... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Hey @stuartk , we did change the subject. Jump in! 😊 Cousin Brucie!! Boy, that takes me back. | |
| Vinyl Warm Up Time I agree with @lewm on all counts. I might even increase the length of time to one solid hour to reach optimum and really “sing”. All tube, btw. | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog , re Trane/Pharoah: **** Am I missing something? **** No disrespect intended, but the answer is: obviously! A while back there was an ongoing debate on the JFA thread between one of the then most prolific contributors and I about w... |
