| Jazz for aficionados Wonderful! The kid can play, really well; and has balls of steel. | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Excellent and appropriate choice of example as a vehicle for your sarcasm! Yet another example of a misguided and condescending (not to mention farcical) attempt at “helping” others.Btw, I thought Chris Stapleton was pretty good and deserving of t... | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? If you are suggesting that “true tough love” means to insist on some level of accountability, that is what I’m saying and we agree. If you are suggesting that “true tough love” means to not hold those previously oppressed accountable for negative ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Probably a good move 😉. | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? I could not agree more with the relevance of the history of it all and that consideration of that history and compassion for the ill effects of oppression during that history are more than warranted. However, why is it then that so many of the iss... | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Here we go again, condemning the “white guy” for criticizing a culture that celebrates grotesque overt sexuality (which is anything but sexy) and minimal talent seemingly because the “stars” of that culture (in the case of the Grammys) happen to b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pryso, I do agree; completely. I think that we are often seduced by the “ear-candy” quality of “perfectionist” recordings to the extent that we overlook or forget a basic truth: less is more when it comes to the recording of music. Of course, t... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners $1805!!! My bid wasn’t good enough. I wanted that manifold, damn it! 😥 | |

| Jazz for aficionados Glad you enjoyed those links, mary_jo.pryso made a good observation re players quoting other tunes in their solos:**** In fact it happens so often it can become a parlor game to identify all the other music references a soloist may include in thei... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great clips, acman3. Woody Shaw sounds amazing; and of course Farrell. Thanks.pryso, good catch re Albeniz/Corea. You bring up an interesting point re musical quotations in jazz solos. First, musical compositions which are copyrighted are protecte... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Excellent clips, O-10 and Alex. Nice to hear two very different approaches to the same tune “Grand Street”. In keeping with pryso’s comment about Rollins, a good example of how “big” Rollins can sound in the company of a big brass section which ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pryso, June, 1928. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/louis-armstrong-records-west-end-bluesAnd yes, great stuff, Toussaint. | |
| Jazz for aficionados You just need to get yourself some NEW cryod cables and all will be well 😊 Your player will then play this. Sound quality maybe not as “audiophile good”, but even better in every other way: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4WPCBieSESI | |
| Jazz for aficionados Classic record! And I completely agree. He was one of the first (possibly the first) to have the courage to play without a harmony instrument (piano, guitar). He didn’t need it. His command of harmony and creativity was so high that the liste... |
