| Jazz for aficionados O-10, let's put is this way:I have, as LeArsfool reminded us, pointed out that, as a percentage of the population of musicians, there are many more musicians who are audiophiles than there are audiophiles in the general population. Additionally, a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When CTI came on the scene, there were some "purists" that accused the artists on the CTI catalog of "selling out"; some of the jazz was a little "lite", but some was really funky and really good. For me, Stanley Turrentine was probably the only (... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Probably my very favorite tenor sound ever. Great blend of the traditional and the new. Not to mention an incredibly funky swing feel. Very bad dude!https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL37BEB0C7D6F3EFF4&v=IEd7dGVI4vs | |

| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, thanks for chiming in re the musician/ audiophile. You are, of course, correct. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "the major problem" is one of personality. Here we at the same tiresome place again where you fail to see the hypocracy in your attitude and contradictions and lack of clarity in what you write. You often disagree and do so in an abrasive and... | |

| Jazz for aficionados I hope that this thread can be more than a popularity contest in the sense that disagreement can be respected and, ideally, used as an opportunity to understand different points of view and, in the process, perhaps expand one's point of reference.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great comments Acman3; and so true. Actually, I would put that figure even lower; unfortunately. I commend you for, in becoming "more experienced", gaining a higher level of understanding (hearing). It's unfortunate that so many, even very active ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, in the interest of civility, I will end the nonsense in this discussion by leaving you with this (arrogant) little nugget which will hopefully highlight the differences in attitude and approach to all this. From my vantage point, one is posit... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, from the same period and if someone forced me at gunpoint to pick my favorite Miles record this would be it. Amazing rhythm section; Tony Williams kills and Wayne Shorter is on fire. As far as I am concerned this is some of the very best jaz... | |
| Jazz for aficionados You may try, and I commend you for trying; but, you often come across as being all over the place. Are we talking about music or are we talking about audiophiles? In the context of this discussion, who cares about audiophiles. Remember, this all s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, I am actually glad that you decided to not "ignore" my posts; I knew you wouldn't be able to since quality and logic are difficult to ignore :-). Now, as is often the case your analysis is mired in reactive and fairly shallow thinking which,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-I0, I am surprised at how strongly you reacted to my comments and I think you missed some of what I was trying to say. I have previously made my comments re KOB clear: I don't consider it the greatest nor the greatest of Miles' records. Moreover... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****SE = brilliant. KOB = brilliantly ethereal.****I like that; and I agree. "Somethin Else" was discussed early in this thread's life and in trying to find my earlier comments about it (to no avail) I came a across a thread which asked what album... |
