| Jazz for aficionados I guess I don’t pass muster in the “cool” department; tassel loafers I don’t have 😎Still on the subject of baritone players, here’s a little known (outside of Europe) player from Sweden with a lovely lyrical sound and clearly inspired by the West ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, pryso is correct. In fact, that is not Mingus’ band at all, but the "Mingus Big Band" which is run by Sue Mingus in a local NYC club with regular weekly date there and plays Mingus’ music. Ronnie Cuber is the baritone. Great player with a ve... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Yes, nice Mulligan clips; thanks, O-10. And Serge Challof! First bebopper on the big horn and of “Four Brothers” (Woody Herman) fame. Beautiful and very expressive player. Very nice “Body And Soul”; thanks for that clip. Re Don Cherry:Well, for th... | |
| 300 rpm motor for VPI tzh21y, four years or so ago you posted a thread about your experience with going to the 300rpm motor and expressed dissatisfaction with the 300rpm motor due to increased noise; you decided to go back to the 600rpm motor. Is this the same unit tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fantastic record and one of the best examples of piano-less quartets. Great way to be introduced to jazz! I agree about Mulligan and his tone is absolutely beautiful; very suave and warm especially considering the aggressive and edgy sound that ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Beautiful Grappelli clip, O-10; and beautiful record. On that particular clip Grappelli actually takes a bit of a back seat to Yehudi Menuhin who plays “lead” in their wonderful duet . Menuhin was one of the greatest Classical violinists ever an... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pryso, I heard back from Lincoln Mayorga and I told him about our discussion about DD lps and your concern about the master’s durability. He explained things this way:There is no concern about the master’s durability other than in the way that it ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I think it’s great that some things get multiple postings; especially since there are new participants here. Please don’t misinterpret my pointing out that something was posted previously as meaning that I don’t think it should be posted aga... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice clip, Alex. That record is new to me; thanks for that. Beautiful playing all the way around. Great to hear Lee Morgan on muted trumpet. Interesting that he seems to take on a somewhat different personality with the mute in; less fire and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I enjoyed the Chico Freeman clip; it is, as you say, an interesting tune. I have owned that record since it came out and if I’m not mistaken that record was discussed a while ago. I have never been much of a Chico Freeman fan and that record... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pryso, I think that you may be misinterpreting some of what luiscfcoimbra wrote re the LA4 recording. That particular LA4 recording (direct to disc) was recorded by and issued by the now defunct Japanese record label Eastwind Records. The confus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados fusian, nice to see mention of Stravinsky’s “Ebony Concerto”. Believe it or not Stravinsky was “discussed” here quite a bit early in the thread’s life with some violent disagreement about the importance of this greatest of 20th century composers. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for that Tonight Show clip, acman3; had not seen that!One of the things that makes Rollins particularly relevant is the fact that he was the first player to have the cojones to play without a harmony instrument. He pioneered the piano (guit... |
