| What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? Adley, in your question is the suggestion that, not only do you like the violin, you like both Classical and Jazz. Good for you! There is a tremendous amount of wonderful music in both genres. As has been pointed out the violin typically featur... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glasper!!!First piano player to record that beautiful tune:https://youtu.be/7C_CmjL6IrcBut, on this record, in the composer’s band:https://youtu.be/-M2ADUgffFE | |
| Your favourite Christmas song....... https://youtu.be/TdGuxP8BzsY | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great clips all; thank you!Not exactly your typical “sleigh ride” kind of vibe, but one leaning more to the serious side of Christmas. One of my favorite Christmas song renditions. For me, McCoy’s playing simulates the way a composer uses an orch... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 The Empire was also one of the first MM’s that I acquired after starting to follow Raul’s thread (the first was the Azden MP50VL).I find the comments re the FR’s warmth interesting and I may be reading too much into them and halcro’s choice to poi... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Absolutely appreciate your enthusiasm. Thank you for indulging me to the extent that you could. I totally understand your explanation and I certainly trust your reasoning behind the chosen cart/arm combinations. It is a treat to be able to hear th... | |

| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Bummer about your lost post, noromance; always interesting to read your comments and I agree with your preference for the Signet.Great recording! For whatever it may be worth, the greatest percentage of recordings that I own which I consider the b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Two great examples. Please forgive my bit of hyperbole re Snooky Young. Still, beautiful muted trumpet. Nothing Clifford Brown ever played was less than tasty. Btw, Snooky Young was that rarity among trumpet players, fantastic lead player who coul... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 I think that noromance’s comments are excellent. Lots of ear candy on this most recent recording. Lovely singing, too.Acknowledging the fact that the Signets have been heard with two different recordings, on two different arms, and this one with a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, great Basie clip. Very relaxed Count; and lesson in how to say the most with the fewest notes. Hard to have “Basie” and “relaxed” in the same sentence and not think of this chart:https://youtu.be/nqn4nyZz0toEven more relaxed (and in tune)... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Short on time right now and will post some details later, but wanted to chime in that I completely agree with noramance’s (and halcro’s) descriptions. However, not sure yet that I agree with the implied hierarchy (preference). Great day everyone. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Halcro, I seem to recall reading that you use a pair of subs? | |
| Jazz for aficionados So what is it about that Ellington record and Goodman in general that does it for you? What is your preferred genre(s)? Are you saying that you have listened to a lot of Jazz and those two artists have been the only two that turn you on? If not, m... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Wow! Thanks for the nice comments, gentlemen. And this in spite of the fact that I once mistook halcro’s phone ringtones for an electronic keyboard; ringing perfectly in time to the music. Glad I was able to regain some cred 😊. |
