| U-Discover Mag Lists The 50 Greatest Jazz Albums May be true, but not in the case of the three mentioned recordings. | |
| What is Musicality? Glad you liked it, Charles1dad; and thanks for the rec. I am not familiar with his recording with Melvin Rhyne, but will check it out. | |
| Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga?...Gag Me? ****If it were not for good engineering they especially Bennett would be washing dishes. ****It's comments like this that make me wonder what universe some live in. Tony Bennett, as Schubert and others have pointed out, in spite of not being anywh... | |
| U-Discover Mag Lists The 50 Greatest Jazz Albums Ok. Then which recordings would you substitute for those; and why? | |

| What is Musicality? Speaking of Monk compositions, unorthodox playing technique and MUSICALITY, this is about as good as it gets; imo:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MOm17yw__6U | |
| What is Musicality? Monk was a true genius. A true original; and like many geniuses, he was eccentric and this was reflected in his music. Underneath the eccentricism was a bipolar disorder that would eventually lead to his withdrawal from performance altogether. The... | |
| What is Musicality? Excellent recommendations by Schubert. I would add Heitor Villa Lobos' "Bachianas Brazileiras" No. 1 for eight cellos and No. 5 for orchestra of cellos and soprano. Villa-Lobos was the greatest of the Latin-American composers to, like Kodaly, blen... | |

| What is Musicality? While reasonably good technical command of the instrument is necessary in order to be musical, musicality is not dependent on having the very best technical command. Priorities are different for jazz and classical players. While a top classical mu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados You're welcome. Recorded in 1961 and close to the magic year 1959; an amazing time for jazz. 1961 was also the year that Oliver Nelson's "Blues And The Abstract Truth" was recorded. It's interesting to note how much Hubbard's solo on "Society Red"... | |
| 6L6WGC/5881 Tube choices for Amp I am surprised, but if there is any doubt I wouldn't use them. | |
| Jazz for aficionados There's jazz, and then there's Jazz:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fBQxsQlPDkUBtw, I agree re 2015, Jafant. | |
| What is Musicality? ****I stand in awe of the mystery what music is and what it can do to us.****I think that says it all. It is mysterious; and certainly re what (and how) it does to us. ****What fascinates me is, that the medium of transmission per se is dead.****I... |
