| Jazz for aficionados Newbee, thanks for that; and Acman for the link. I had to chuckle when I read your post. I have an old Ford Explorer that we keep at our cabin in upstate NY. Last summer I loaded three brand new CDs into the cd changer as I headed out on an errand... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another of my favorites: Oscar Peterson and Buddy Defranco, two of the classiest jazz musicians to ever play the music of perhaps America's greatest composer. The level of sophistication in Gershwin's compositions can be underappreciated because ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A masterpiece. Thanks, Jafant,https://youtu.be/D8rD2WaiSlk | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Exclusive"? Hypocracy. Bad form. Shallowness. Desperation. Simple nastiness... so rich, so sad. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, thank you for your response. As I said, it is unlikely that we can do this topic justice here; especially right now since, as before, I have very little time. Of course I know that your intention is not to offend and to say so seems redund... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, as you know by now, I also consider you to be a thoughtful and intelligent person. Obviously, these are very complicated and personal topics and I would welcome an opportunity to have a few drinks with you and exchange thoughts about this wi... | |

| Jazz for aficionados That was a great post, Rok. I agree, biases are not necessarily a bad thing. The key and hard part is to learn to recognize them; especially in ourselves. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Gorgeous rendition of "I've Grown Accustomed To Your Face" with Bud Shank and Bob Cooper sound wonderful. It is recordings like this that should put to rest the issue of wether West Coast Jazz is valid or not. I take a different approach re educ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice clips, Alex. Al Cohn on clarinet! ... new one for me. Very nice and relaxed playing in that early swing style that I like very much. Thanks for those. No TV and no newspapers!? I would hate to think that you get your news and opinion on p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another example of a great job by a producer featuring the overlooked (on this thread) Sarah Vaughan. Sergio Mendes- producer. Amazing singer:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z-NmVTYThKQhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4gB3_wBSnNc | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I stand by what I said on the subject and believe your attitude about this is misguided and self-serving. I was very clear about why I wrote what I did and I believe it was all very reasonable. In the meantime, a friendly suggestion: put a... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners vpi, if you do decide to clean your manifold as Chris correctly inquires about, I would be careful to do it right and go through the more labor intensive (but worth it!) process of removing and cleanig the capillaries as discussed here previously ... |
