| Jazz for aficionados O-10, Rahsaan was a genius. Unfortunately, playing two or three instruments simultaneously was perceived as gimmicky by some. That clip demonstrates that he was a virtuoso instrumentalist by any standard; double and triple tonguing, circular breat... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jazzbird (great handle), for that story alone I will have to check out the book. What TV viewers don't always realize is that sometimes the craziest, funniest and most interesting things happen behind the scenes, off- air. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alexatpos,Very nice post. Dupree Bolton is a new one to me. Good player with a rather fiery musical vibe. Gildo Mahones I know from his work with Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. Another solid player who I believe is still active. Thanks for the ... | |
| worst sounding great lps Great to see the distinction made between the sound and the music; and, the idea that an album can be great even if it suffers from questionable sound. Questionable because I think it's important to remember (in keeping with the above comment) tha... | |
| The best deal on audiogon right now On a totally different price scale, but here's the best deal on speakers on Audiogon that I have seen recently. I own a pair and for $850 this is a steal! (No affiliation with seller). http://app.audiogon.com/listings/full-range-paragon-acoustics-... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice! Beautiful playing by Burns. Hint of a Lee Morgan influence and I love it when a player starts a solo without any ambiguity as he does at 1:50; a simple three note statement, concise and to the point as if saying "check this out". Amazing how... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? David, thank you for the very interesting information and the recommendation. No, have not used of the low output mm's; although I have always been intrigued by them for the very reasons that you describe. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners A safe healthy holiday season to you and ours; and all who read this. And thank you for what is, without a doubt, one of the most interesting, educational, and (by Audiogon standards) safe healthy threads; not to mention fun which is something we ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, agree about Jefferson. Love that Horace Silver tune "Filthy MacNasty". And what a great trumpet solo. After James Moody's exuberance everything relaxes with a beautifully tasty solo by someone who, as much as anybody, deserves the title of "... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ****Transient Peaks are at the heart of the music********No, sorry, this is misuided. The heart is soft, and it is loud****Well, neither comment is quite correct. IMO, the heart of music is in how truthfully or seamlessly the dynamic swing from so... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry to hear the news, Acman3. Nice clip. Very West Coast and reminiscent of some of the "Peter Gunn" Mancini charts. Thanks. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Too funny! ****I can't stand disposable items ...which is what our society has become. ****An endless argument (not really) between my wife and I. I am always lobbying to hang unto things like our old Sub-Zero which, even after a couple of major s... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners ****An audiophile wrap ? Hmm this gives me an idea ...... more in a bit :^)****Yo, yo, yo! Wassup? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nikola may be more than a semanticist. A canon in music is the repetition of a musical motif in a certain sequence and at specified times using strict imitation. Tchaikovsky used the cannon as a musical instrument with it's own voice and scored in... | |
