| Jazz for aficionados Excellent! We have a winner. No coal in your Xmas stocking. | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? Dear Raul,I am surprised that such an experienced audiophile as you seem to not differentiate between incorrect absolute turntable speed and speed instability. First:**** Now, if what you are saying is that perfect timing is only in live music **... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice clips, Alex. Ok, it’s time to lighten up the mood and to up the ante in the games dept. Challenge: Why is the following clip appropriate for the Holiday Season? Hint: Listen carefully. 😎https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5kiY9tKkvtk | |
| Jazz for aficionados O -10 , lighten up, please . My comment was a humorous one; a joke, JOKE! in reference to all the sexual harassment allegations in the news recently; nothing more. It should have been obvious especially being on the heels of my comment to pryso... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for that, pryso. Love Mingus and love Mitchell. I am aware of the connection, but have only heard a couple of the songs off that record. I went through a period when I wanted to hear every single thing that Jaco Pastorius (another South ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, careful now! In the current social climate comments like that can could get you in a lot of trouble. You know, as I think about it, why that is kind of goes with Rok’s clip. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Glad you guys enjoyed the Ira clips; amazing musician. O-10, the Red Rodney recording can be purchased as part of this CD reissue set:https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/red-rodney-albums/5289-borrowed-times-red-rodney-quintets-1955-195...Joe Diorio... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If there is a jazz musician that deserves more recognition and deserves the “underground” mythical reputation that he has it is Ira Sullivan. A product of the Chicago jazz scene of the ‘50s he moved to and remained in South Florida and somewhat o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think Ali Jackson’s solo is great! Completely appropriate and idiomatic; which is more than can be said about Clapton’s. Yikes! A little out of his league I think. Re drum solos in general:Wether we like drum solos or not there is a certain ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Because, first, it is not the correct note of the head (melody). Secondly, Rok, who plays the trumpet can confirm that with the trumpet it is possible to play more than one note with the same fingering; the harmonic series at work. It is very di... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It’s forgotten; was not you. And, yes, just teasing and all in good fun. A quick review of recent posts will reveal the identity of our resident “authority”; who I am sure is also just teasing and having some fun 🤔 |
