| Analog and digital are both equally amazing... I agree with the basic premise. Both can sound amazing; but, amazing in different ways. However, the more familiar one is with the sound of unamplified acoustic instruments the more apparent it is that analog still comes closer to that sound than ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ****One can only hope for progress.****How true! And an essential ingredient of "progress" is to always be conscious of our own individual preconceptions and biases when it comes to political and racial matters; which inevitably lurk about in our ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I referred to Q Jones in the past tense a couple of times; obviously those were typos he is still with us and doing great work. | |
| Jazz for aficionados You are correct, Quincy Jones is awesome and an amazing talent. Great orchestrator, composer and band leader/conductor. Great examples of this are Sinatra's "Live At The Sands", his work with the Basie band and movie scores like "The Pawnbroker" a... | |
| U-Discover Mag Lists The 50 Greatest Jazz Albums Chuck Mangione? Earl Klugh?!?! They made pleasant fusionjazz-lite recordings; but, better than "Bitches Brew" and "Headhunters" (even putting aside their influence)? We are all entitled to our opinions, but this is clearly a case of Mars and Venus. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Unbelievable! 86 yrs old and still playing like that; I'll be glad if I can still pick my nose at 86. Nice clip. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Chicago's AACM (Association For The Advancement Of Creative Musicians) has been on the forefront of the modern jazz movement for quite some time. Glad you all enjoyed the clip.http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_for_the_Advancement_of_Creat... | |

| Greatest Children musicians of all times Franz Schubert, Felix Mendehlson, Frederic Chopin. I think Yo-Yo Ma probably qualifies. Definitely Stevie Wonder. And for great child pop performer, Sammy Davis Jr. Good call on Birelli Lagrene, btw. | |

| U-Discover Mag Lists The 50 Greatest Jazz Albums Undoubtedly great recordings, but with the possible exception of "Light As A Feather", imo they don't have the historical relevance of the ones in question. When there are so many "greats" to choose from, I think that "greatest" should be reserved... | |
| collaboration where sequel tops the original I think the OP refers to collaborations that are not regular working bands, but groups of musicians assembled for special projects. In this case it's not difficult to understand why second efforts might be superior: the musicians are not as famili... | |
| What is Musicality? "Bags Meets Wes" is one of my favorite redords; thanks! Milton Jackson is another "high-musicality" players; to stick to the OP's theme.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K1Xozvcf0FABeautiful! |
