| Jazz for aficionados Jack Sheldon!!! Now, there’s a trumpet player who has remained under the radar here. Actually, I think I posted one clip he played on early in the history of this thread. Swinging West Coast player who many of my generation heard in the house b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados My favorite rhythm section again. Some of my very favorite Miles: https://youtu.be/wyLzqWs0rAs | |
| Favorite Miles Davis release Wow, favorite Miles recording. So many great and very important recordings. I agree that the Second Great Quintet was probably Miles’ best band. Then again, “best” has to be in the context of where Miles was at in his evolution as an artist. An ev... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Wonderful music and Stern sounds great!“any perceptible differences”? Couldn’t be more obvious. Amazing what a difference different cantilever material makes.Beryllium cantilever sounds way too dry and almost totally lacking natural instrumental... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Actually, don’t tell me...yet 🤔 | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 I must be missing something; I’m a simple man 😔. Are we listening to Grace or to Shure carts? | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, I agree with acman3; my opinion of Wynton’s IMPROVISING also has softened. As a trumpet player he has few equals; some might argue, no equal. As a bandleader he is great. As an educator and advocate for jazz, particularly its roots, he is fan... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, in no way did I mean to suggest that I think Wynton has been “overlooked”. Quite the contrary. In fact, the tremendous amount of attention that he has received (deservedly, IMO) has been part of the reason for some of the cynical criticism f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Beautiful Isbin, mary_jo. Effortless musicality. Loved “Fellini”, pjw. Thanks both.Wynton Marsalis’ playing hasn’t always gotten a whole lotta love here. Check out his solo on this. He’s on fire. Particularly impressive for being in a genre not u... | |
| Jazz for aficionados My favorite rhythm section. Miles’ ‘60s rhythm section with the great Freddie Hubbard. I love everything about this record:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL84EB0EC94DB33611 | |
| looking for ideas on must have classical music Excellent advice from Stringreen. I would add what would likely be an important aspect of any good music appreciation class. Approach your exploration of this fantastic genre in a way that looks at and considers the chronology of the evolution o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A friendly observation. The use of the words “ignorant” and more recently “stupid” has been causing friction here for some time. Why continue to use those words? Seems to me that one of the main goals for anyone learning a new language should be t... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Halcro, not quite sure what the point of ninetynine’s post is, but his opening sentence is a good lead in to my response to your most recent post. What I mean is that I have tried to make it very clear in my comments here that those comments have ... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Halcro, I will offer some further thoughts day after tomorrow when I will have some time. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Right you are, and sorry about that. Not quite sure why I wrote that other than the fact that I was always bothered by the comparisons in which the arms were not the same. I understand that you chose the arms in which each cartridge performed be... |
