| Jazz for aficionados Beautiful! Thanks. Great choice of tenor player given that it’s on an album “...Remembering John Coltrane”. I have never heard a better solo by the great Bob Berg, one of the best Coltrane disciples. He died tragically in a car accident only m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Gorgeous. I have never heard a non-native sing in Portuguese in such a convincing way. Amazing pitch. I have always loved Allyson’s singing and absence of affectation. Thanks for that!No comparison intended:https://youtu.be/1-g-mkBpnew | |

| Hana ML compared to other high end cartridges Huh? How and why? Btw, I concur with all that Lewm wrote. I suspect the Hana will be a decided move forward. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Billy Higgins was fabulous. Great band. Schubert, maybe I misunderstood. What is it about Ron Carter’s playing that you don’t like?Vocal version of Herbie’s tune “Eye Of The Hurricane” by someone that Schubert likes. Personally, I think there have... | |
| Jazz for aficionados One of my desert island records. Classic. The line up is amazing. Featuring the great Freddie Hubbard and a great tenor player that we don’t mention much, George Coleman.https://youtu.be/VUnE_P6n1gUhttps://youtu.be/cs6rxYEvrnsFreddie Hubbard was... | |

| Jazz for aficionados About twenty years or so before he passed Phil Woods, suffering from emphisyma, switched to Yamaha altos, a much freer blowing horn than the Selmer he had played all his career. As always, there are no free rides. The Yamaha is less resistant and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados That’s very funny. Davis sounds fabulous on Voyage. Love the sound. Was surprised he was using that Selmer metal mouthpiece on the clip with Woods. Very unwieldy style of mouthpiece; doesn’t allow a lot of agility in the playing, but unique sound ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Davis twice is a good thing (great minds think alike 😊). Did somebody say soul?https://youtu.be/V323NXXd3ow | |
| Jazz for aficionados I’ve listened to that Jesse Davis clip about ten times. Fantastic clip and I love great alto playing! Acman3 is right; “depends on what one is looking for in a solo”. Jesse Davis is a fantastic player, but to be compared to a giant like Phil Woods... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Btw, source was iPad; Stax Lambda Pro Signatures driven by Stax SRM T-1 tube amplifier. | |
| Jazz for aficionados He does hang in; and well. Phil Woods was just incredible. The ideas flowed with total ease; and it was always expected. In a way this made Charles McPherson’s solo the most interesting to me. Just the right amount of tension from that little ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The issue of how some sort of language barrier can play into some of the disputes here has been mentioned previously. Along those lines, for me, “lurking” has negative connotations 😊; so...Re Halcro’s recording method shootout and request for impr... |
