| Jazz for aficionados “Original” is an understatement:https://youtu.be/QxKVa8kTYPIhttps://youtu.be/671FC3RPn40https://youtu.be/xFOfyrPiTL4https://youtu.be/ywmzM5YE3sshttps://youtu.be/7adgnSKgZ7Q | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great clip on the history of the flute in Jazz, acman3. Had not seen that. Thanks! But, no mention of Joe Farrell!! As Rok would say, “what the f...?” | |
| Jazz for aficionados Awsome Blues clips, Rok. Blues royalty. Thanks for that.Re recent talk on the bass clarinet, flute, Herbie Mann and pryso’s request for commentary:A little known fact is that Adolph Sax, the creator of the saxophone was, if not solely responsible ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghost, do you have the original release or the CD reissue? The CD reissue contains four tracks recorded during the same sessions, but not released on the original. My LP includes only the “Three Quartets”. I bought the CD for the extra cuts. G... | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" Agreed. I will too. Good attitude. | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" I can’t speak for the compression-phobes, but the reason some don’t like the record has nothing to do with audiophile ignorance or any other audiophile concern. | |
| Jazz for aficionados 65-68, probably my favorite band of all time.Going back to Coltrane (one can never have too much Trane), I listened to this today. When the “RECORD” light goes on, sometimes the stars align more than others. Inspired playing:https://youtu.be/tr72U... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, there are three Brubeck brothers. I believe two are currently part of a regular working quartet and all three played and recorded with their father together and separately on various projects.https://youtu.be/1yw12V2KK0YI like Roberta Gambari... | |
| Jazz for aficionados On a hunch. Maybe this one?https://youtu.be/BU6IlHD5Nb8Or this one?https://youtu.be/riIACYFhUCUJust a hunch.What say you, arctik? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, honest question: what exactly are you trying to accomplish with a possible foray into audiophilia; or, at least, some new gear? Functionality or sound concerns, or curiosity? Btw, I bought the current $500 model Oppo everything-player for ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The Yamaha is a well built amp and good sounding for a ss amp from that period. I have a hunch it will sound noticeably better than your integrateds, old age and all. The reason for my recommendation was for you to hear that amps do sound differ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso gives good advise re amps. | |
| Jazz for aficionados You got it! Happens all the time. Perhaps not so much in this case. They are co-leaders and I’m sure that was the intention. Notice the order of the names; alphabetical, the default way to do it when the performers are to be considered equals: “Ca... | |
| Jazz for aficionados What can one say about that record that hasn’t been said a thousand times. Awesome.Make sure you have speakers hooked up to the amp before you turn it on. Any speakers. | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" OK.Incoherent because, FOR ME, the problems with that Santana recording are not the compression. That is not what makes the music, FOR ME, much less successful than recordings such as “Abraxas”. Sure, it would sound better if it had not been compr... |
