| Jazz for aficionados Nice Mahalia Jackson, pjw. Wonderful singer. I feel as nsp does re Gato. I never found his “free” stuff credible; he never sounded quite in his element. I think he found his niche with his later stuff which had more of a “world music” vibe wit... | |
| Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer? Chazro is correct re the saxophone/trumpet “speed” issue. The comment about the mouthpiece/reed interface is only partly correct. However, talk to a trumpet player, particularly one who usually plays high section parts, and the stories about “cho... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 So as to not derail Halcro’s great thread too much, please forgive a bit of self-promotion (?) in pointing out this thread started several 😱 years ago. A little 🙄 hyperbolic on my part, but some may find something of interest:https://forum.audiogo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry you feel that way, O-10. I still don’t get it and would still welcome a better explanation. Nonetheless, I offer a sincere apology for making you feel that I was “raining on your parade”. That was far from my intention with any of this. I ho... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Auchentoshan!!! Don’t hear that name too often. A real sleeper and not too expensive. One of my faves. | |
| Jazz for aficionados OK, O-10, lets examine it. I could dismiss all this as an over reaction on your part. I won’t. I had no intention nor desire to “rain on your parade”. In fact, I was playing along. By your own admission (just now), your “vignettes” are often times... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Response to Mr Know-Nothing, oops errr I mean Rok2id. Not that that any kind of response is deserved. It has nothing to do with the recording engineers; well, very very little. The rest, you can try and figure out on your own. If you care to be a ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, what a nice thing to say, O-10. Thanks so much. May I ask what exactly offended you so? Was it that I dared to bring a bit of well intended humor to my response to the story about your experience with your lady? Never mind that I cared enoug... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fantastic live footage, indeed! Thanks for that. Byas sounds awesome. The first two minutes or so of the clip are priceless; Dizzy speaking. Two things that stood out for me. The first at about 0:25 and is something that some jazz fans don’t ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Gorgeous “September Song”; thanks. One of my favorite tunes from the great Kurt Weill. Parker sounds awesome playing the chart. The other thing I hear, and it goes to a great comment that nsp made, is James Carter. Or, more accurately, how much... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Macallan 25? The Palladian of single malt Scotch. Bold, a little rounded, slightly sweet with a very long finish (that pesky overhang) and $$$$$. Would recognize that sound anywhere 😄😄😄😄😄. | |
| Do you guys like Adele's music? For me, exactly all that bdp24 has said. | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, that must have been some lady that caused you to spill your beer all over your shoes without you even noticing ☺️. That was probably the reason that they were looking at you instead; not to mention the forlorn look on your face. Great rendit... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** My point was that Carter can play GS anyway he wants to play it. That’s what Jazz is all about, individual freedom. Freedom from the written page. ****Of course he can. And it can also not be very good, or may even suck, as a result. The whol... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, thanks for the clip. Great stuff. He does a great job of explaining the harmonic details of the tune. I applaud your inquisitiveness about all this; it all adds a great deal to the appreciation and enjoyment of the music. There are so many di... |
