| Jazz for aficionados Reconsider? Not at all. In fact, I would submit to you that their terrible hardships are all the more reason that they hung on to those traditions. They had little else besides those traditions. O-10, in the Caribbean the religion which was practi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Has nothing to do with elitism, but simply factual ethnomusicology; however, I do realize that sometimes big hard to pronounce words carry negative connotations for some đ. Â I find great irony in the fact that I canât think of a single jazz musici... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I thought the topic was rhythm in religious practices; not the blues per se. Still....I suspect that itâs probably safer to not to open this can of worms again; but the origin of the blues, because of the importance of the blues in jazz, is a subj... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Great story, Chris. I too am a dog person and Artie my beagle is thankfully very well trained and knows that he is not allowed in my studio. Years ago when my dear wife and I were âgetting seriousâ we found ourselves in an untenable situation. Her... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very nice clips, Alex; thanks.  Charlie Rouse playing Bossas; what a surprise! Had not heard that record nor knew of its existence.  Not the style of playing nor music that I have associated with Charlie Rouse.  I have always thought of Rouse: dr... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dear Nikola, it was, in fact, you who I addressed in that post. Perhaps your confusion is simply a smoke screen and you are an even better cryptologist than I.Beware the âthreatâ:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3flw200lX8 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice Baden Powell clips, O-10. I enjoyed those. Â Thanks! Â The Getz/Gilberto is a classic and I love that record, but I donât get your comparison to the Cannonball/Mendes other than the fact that they both feature the bossa. Â Totally different saxo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados What do you get when you combine the innately âfeel goodâ and âupâ musical personality of one of the greatest jazz improvisers and most gorgeous alto sounds that ever was with the music of Brazil?....magic:https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7C6... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Like a good rebel fighting the establishmentâs attempts at censorship (something you know much about), the truth usually wins out. The ET2, complex by the standards of lazy audiophiles, is a work of art...truth in analog sound (redundancy?). Â Glad... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris, I donât mind at all. Â Are the oak leaves still (!?) falling? Â Happy New Year to all! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, out of curiosity are you using an Apple IPad or IPhone to post? Iâve been experiencing the same thing and wondered if it had anything to do with the recently publicized deliberate slowing down of devices by Apple. Â | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** I'm too busy playing. When I'm playing I don't pay attention to who's listening. When I was listening I listened to symphony orchestras, Beethoven, Bach, Brahms, Stravinsky. You don't listen to one instrument; you listen to music. ****Charles... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pryso is exactly right about the way that Hollywood distorted Native American drumming. Â Are we surprised? Â However, that unfortunate fact should not be taken to mean that drumming was not an integral and very important part of the culture; it was... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In case the veiled and good natured sarcasm of my last post was not recognized  (I know it was by Alex) it should be pointed out that this topic was beaten to death (pun intended) here eons ago with much factual data submitted for anyone who wants... | |
