| Jazz for aficionados I’ll get back to you with a more detailed (and obvious) answer. Re Wynton: Don’t blame me if you bruise your rump. C’mon now, go over any and all my comments re Wynton. I have always been very consistent. I feel and have always felt (and said so) ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I really like the way he sings “Tenderly” (in fact, I really like the way he sings period) and would put it a notch above “Breezin” in the “good” from his later over-produced studio offerings. Less of that era’s disco vibe that makes me cringe; pa... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Of course they are yours, O-10. Good as yours, which is why youposted them. Now, I would have preferred, as pryso suggested, to get back to “regular programming”, but if you prefer to cherry pick comments and submit them out of context as proof ... | |
| Diana Krall Shirley Horne was an extraordinary artist. Anyone who doesn’t know her work and likes romantic ballads should check out “Here’s To Life” with orchestrations by the great Johnny Mandel. An exquisite recording artistically and sonics wise. | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** Yes jazz and classical are very different, but those apples and oranges can all become "juice" for those open to the tasting. ****That’s one for the archives. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ok, O-10, I get it now and it seems to be quite simple: every musician, no matter the genre, that I have ever had any type of contact with or read opinions by and posters here are wrong about this and you are correct. | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, as I have said many times previously I admire that you put jazz musicians on such a high pedestal; and deservedly so. Jazz obviously reaches you on a very deep and personal level and that’s a beautiful thing. But the achievement of jazz musi... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Not sure if your last post was intended for me or not, Slaw. In the event it wasn’t or you still want company:Well, work being what it is for me this time of year and some relatively expected life/family issues, I’ve had practically no time to “p... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Blu-Tack. What I used some time ago on my home brew balsa wood long I-beam. Not as elegant as a machined weight, but works great since it allows you to use just the right amount to balance even the lightest cartridge while putting the weight at ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Bingo!!!You are exactly right. “Method” and “building blocks”; and in most cases a strict framework within which the player has to work. A strict and predetermined framework of form and harmony and, if the improvisation is to be good, respect for ... | |

| Diana Krall I don’t know anyone here well enough to be singling anyone out; I am not. This is just a general observation that I started to make in an earlier post and decided it was best to not go there; it certainly doesn’t apply in all cases. Imo, some au... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview Must we? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Couldn’t agree more and I remember a recent post by Schubert, deleted for some reason shortly after posting, that made the same observation. Great clip, thanks!(“Fisk” U! Hah!) |
