| Jazz for aficionados Great Mehldau, acman3. Love his playing. Thanks! | |
| Jazz for aficionados I find a certain irony in the fact that eventhough Chinese made audio products receive so much attention (good and bad) from the audio community that the Chinese government blocks posting on Audiogon and access to YouTube. After six days in Shang... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very eclectic trio of clips! The first two are two of my favorite records. The third by Hanrahan is new to me and by one of the most interesting producers out there. I didn’t know much about him except as the producer of Piazolla’s “Zero Hour” ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice! | |
| Diana Krall I could offer some comments in rebuttal and further explanation, but I wouldn’t want to cause anxiety, anger and depression; sincerely. What I find intriguing is why discussion of this subject and expression of different points of view is felt to ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I hope he’s doing ok. Since we’ve been on the subject of guitar players, how about this? Probably the OP’s favorite player and who, after Miles, probably the most discussed musician here. While Grant Green’s recordings Idle Moments and Green Stree... | |
| Diana Krall Of course there are standards of excellence in the arts and this comment is not about DK. Why should the arts be any different than any other endeavor in that regard. Is the relatively casual observer/fan of figure skating just as qualified to d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Two more young players doing some interesting things. Gilad Heckselman:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zuDk_HEZkVYhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8W8G1p0Z9nQJonathan Kreisberg:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s5WXa_B37LYhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_9M... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice description of Lage’s style and I enjoyed the clips. Whenever I have listened to him (not very often) I always think Bill Frisell, but not as “heady” or intellectual as Frisell. I like the attitude in Lage’s playing and he’s an interesting pl... | |
| cartridge repair....repair service center needed Thank you both for the suggestions. I will report back when I have the work done. | |
| cartridge repair....repair service center needed Thanks for the suggestion, Raul. Do you have a reason(s) for recommending Needle Clinic over Expert Stylus for a new tip? Btw, I don’t agree re the two Monsters. I too owned both and find the 2000 to be considerably more refined and better in just... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A very disturbing post (twice). I hope he is ok and I wish him well. Rok, did you get my pm? | |
| Jazz for aficionados You know how the audio rags do “retrospectives” of old reviews of classic audio equipment? It would be interesting to occasionally go back to old comments and exchanges. Some of the “exchanges” we can probably do without revisiting, but that’s a d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Totally agree re Lester Bowie; and all great clips. On the hunch that acman3 had posted “I Only Have Eyes For You” previously I did a little search of the “archives” and came up with this, one of the better exchanges of opinion (this time about Bo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ellington/Hodges. Not much to say. Fabulous!Not a Betty, and no Marian Macpartland, maybe O-10 knew this babe 😊:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7baIamNydvo |
