| Jazz for aficionados Probably my favorite tenor saxophone tone of all the great tenor players that there have been. Bluesy with a wonderful vocal quality in his use of inflections and economical vibrato. Stanley Turrentine had a way with solo that really told a stor... | |
| GLANZ MFG 610LX Thank you for that, Chakster. Based on your description I just ordered one (Azzurra) for my son, whose fairly modest analog setup could probably benefit from a cartridge like what you described. Will report back. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I can't think of any Ellington recording that is not worth having. I have several of these recordings on various other early Ellington releases or compilations and the music is fantastic and are great examples of where jazz was at, at this early ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think the key to understanding Miles is found in a basic premise; a premise that is controversial for many listeners and which is at the heart of a lot of the "bruha" (to quote O-10) on this thread. This basic premise says that the artistic suc... | |
| GLANZ MFG 610LX Anyone know anything about the Glanz Azzurra Esoter MF also available on eBay? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Interesting that the subject of "wisdom" should come up; and, in this context. I just heard this on the wonderful WBGO Newark on my to way to rehearse Massenet (talk about beauty and truth!). The latest from the great Eddie Palmieri, perhaps the g... | |

| Jazz for aficionados No.Was listening to early Count Basie today. Wonderful feel on this classic pre-bebop recording and I love Helen Humes’ voice and style. Music that puts a smile on ones’ face; thought it would be just the ticket right now:https://m.youtube.com/wat... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ooookay.....here’s hoping for a fresh (re)start:Ghosthouse, when I posted this a couple of days ago I thought of you and a post you made a while back about a relative (?) that is into Hammond organ. Posting it again in case you, or anyone else, mi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very well said, Alex; as usual, you are more of a gentleman than I. Ok, perhaps as O-10 says it is time for "down and dirty". Let’s get "down and dirty"; shall we? The psychology behind some of this is truly fascinating if more than a little twist... | |

| Jazz for aficionados +5'I wonder if Home Depot has extra long shovels? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Killer clip, Acman3. Carter Jefferson on tenor tearing it up. Now, THERE'S a player deserving greater recognition .If I was forced to pick my favorite ten and only ten jazz records, this would be one of them. Cult classic recording. The great ... | |
