| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, no better way to describe Kurt Elling than "force of nature". Fabulous singer and stylist (composer too). You may not listen to a lot of jazz, but your choices are excellent. | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****I consider myself as individual, so I cant answer your generalizations about European feelings toward jazz.Like I said, that might be an interesting topic, but I guess for that is required more than an opinion****Alexatpos, I find your style a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****The question I have is this: Does this audience in Switzerland know who wrote this tune?? Do they think it's an original of this so-called big band?That's the danger of this type of thing. Young folks will think Jazz started the day they first... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****How else do you expect us Unwashed to learn anything?? :)****Well, at least you have a sense of humor about it all. Seriously, all this demonstrates the futility of trying to establish a "best". Wether it's a player, composer, recording etc., ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice clip O-10. Thanks! | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****No one would choose the noise makers. So, If Ellington is not the best, it's between the last three on the list. And it's close!****Rok, we are all entitled to our opinions and to have favorites; but, to proclaim a "best" as a truth outside th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I am all for "political truth". Some would correctly say that discussion of politics in an audio forum is inappropriate and not wise. The role and impact of politics in music is undeniable and well documented; so, to discuss politics in this sub-f... | |
| last night a dj deck saved my life Zd542, I think you may have missed my point. To your point: enough torque has been shown to be very important for maintaining consistent rotational speed; which, in turn, affects PRAT. Some designs take advantage of inertia (heavy platter) for sim... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Just some thoughts on recent posts:O-10, glad you enjoyed the links. No debate necessary, but commentary always welcomed.Rok:****What is a Coach, and who is this guy?****Valerie Ponomarev is one one of the most highly regarded living jazz trumpet ... | |
| last night a dj deck saved my life I think your premise has the potential for some interesting conversation and debate; but, your written description of the issue is very unclear and there seem to be some contradictions. On the face of it all, and VERY generally speaking, is the ol... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris, re high compliance carts with the ET2. I agree with you that it can be used successfully with them and have done so for as long as I have owned the arm; which is almost as long as it has existed. I remember more than one comment by "reviewe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados BTW, anyone have any thoughts on the Mingus/Ellington links that I posted? Curious. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alexatpos, I enjoyed the Iturralde clip; thanks for sharing. Interesting player. I have heard his very nice clarinet playing previously, but not his saxophone playing. His rather unusual tenor sound reminds me of Don Menza (West Coast). https://m.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great clip, Acman3! Charlie Haden will be sorely missed. Fantastic example of spontaneous counterpoint by the two horn players. Chris Potter is probably the hottest young tenor player right now. To my ears he strikes a nice balance between the typ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Amazing isn't it, how the silence can be deafening sometimes? |
