| Jazz for aficionados That’s right, O-10! All Brazilian songs and not a single Flamenco song. I like her. I’m a little mixed about the Flamenco vocal inflections in Brazilian songs, but I like her. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I liked the rat fur story ☺️; but I thought you didn’t pay much attention to reviewers.Time to bring O-10’s game back.Riddle: What do all the songs in O-10’s Estrella Morente clip have in common? Any takers? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, there is very little, if any, hype about Michel Legrand as a great jazz player. I agree with most of what you wrote and I think your description of him is actually spot on. The hype is about how he is, first and foremost, a great composer/orc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, big Legrand fan here. I seem to recall that Rok posted or commented on that great record a while back; good to revisit it. Around the same time I posted this record which features Stan Getz as well as Legrand’s wonderful orchestrations:ht... | |

| Jazz for aficionados A musically pointless exercise in incredible instrumental virtuosity and equally pointless obnoxious showmanship. ..... you asked 🙃 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Absolutely true. Both genres are serious art forms and the best examples of each are on equally high levels, imo. But, Mozart performed by the Vienna Philharmonic is on an entirely different level than when performed by the Cincinnati Pops.And ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice interview with the great Phil Woods, but it doesn’t really address the question posed by Rok.**** I could not tell if he changed Jazz , or was he just the best player to express the change. ****That’s actually a very interesting and important... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Please ignore the nonsense and stay a member. As in music, which is what all our opinionated rantings should boil down to, this forum benefits greatly from colorful and creative thinking and expression even when the connection to the subject at h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Two fantastic clips, acman3. Loved the Zorn album; had read about this collaboration, but hadn’t heard it. Zorn is a very interesting musician who is one of the stars NYC’s “downtown” scene which puts out some very eclectic stuff. Known as an avan... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Happy and Healthy New Year to all! | |
| Musician vs. audiophile trelja, I couldn’t agree more. Love the ESL57’s for their amazing midrange purity. I don’t own Quads, but that level of midrange and high frequency correctness is the reason that I put up with my Stax ESL F-81’s maddening low end and SPL limitat... | |
| Musician vs. audiophile **** Surely there must be musicians who are tone deaf. You yourself said they use ear plugs sometimes. Yet they still play on. One assumes they just watch fhe director and hope for the best. ****I really am surprised at your apparent cluelessness ... | |
| Musician vs. audiophile I have to assume that you are being facetious and striving for humor; I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt anyway. Surely, you must understand that if musicians were all deaf they could not make the beautiful music and sounds that they do. Re ... |
