| Audiophiles are not alone Raul, I am not a violinist; but, that is not important. What is important is that, from my vantage point, you seem to be choosing to argue points that are not really the key points here. No time right now to address some of your retorts, and fra... | |

| Jazz for aficionados In case it wasn't clear, my comment to Schubert was meant as a positive and a testament to the power of that music.Ghosthouse, thanks for the Lars Danielsson clips. Nice way to start a Sunday and I enjoyed Mathias Eick's evocative trumpet playing. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Few artists have been able to project the level of musical integrity that John Coltrane was able to. Even the photographs of him that I have seen project an intense feeling of purpose, but with a sense of calm and humility; all the more striking w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sublime indeed. In case anyone is not familiar with this period in Coltrane's life and the making of one of the greatest and most iconic records in all of jazz:http://www.npr.org/2000/10/23/148148986/a-love-supreme"A Love Supreme" in its entirety... |
