| Jazz for aficionados Rok, c'mon. We don't have a habit of misquoting you nor of shooting down anything. The truth is that when discussing these topics you are not a particularly good communicator via what you write. Example:****Nuts and Bolts is a term I use to reflec... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, I am glad you chimed in about that. I was going to after first reading the comment about Juilliard, but frankly I was almost in a state of disbelief at the comment and all I could muster was my "retort" about Wynton having also attended... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Miles went to Juilliard*** His first mistake. I knew there was something wrong there.****Hmmmm, so did Wynton. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Absolutely! That, the skill level of their respective conductors and, as an extension of skill level, the stylistic identity of the players and hence the orchestra. Eventhough the traditionally strong stylistic personalities of the various orchest... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ok, are you referring to the score in terms of the music (notes) written in it, or in terms of the visual APPEARENCE of the notes? If you mean the music, yes they would be identical. Berlin, being a major orchestra probably owns a set of score and... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Interesting segue!I don't understand the question. The score is the score and the music is the music as the composer intended it; no more, no less. Rok, truly no disrespect intended, but unless I am missing something in your question, that is a ra... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I fully expected a response along these lines. My impression is that when there isn't unequivocal agreement with your assessment of an artist there seems to be a knee jerk reaction in the negative instead of a substantive discussion of the pa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Nuts and bolts" is not irrelevant in any genre of music. If you really believe that then you don't understand what is meant by the expression.****but I never heard anything that remotley sounded like this.****Well, as my 11yr old likes to say: Du... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, Regina Carter's main influence (by her own admission) was the great Stephane Grapelli, and probably the reason for your astute observation about her tone. In addition to that it is possible that her violin is slightly larger than typical. No... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Meaning, IMO, that many (operative word) kids today have little and, arguably, insufficient appreciation of one of the most important life lessons: the value of "process". IOW, what it takes to achieve true understanding of and insight into proble... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Dgob. That has been at the top of my audio "to do" list since you first commented on it a while back. | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Computers don't go on the fritz these days. ****Tell that to Lois Lerner. | |
| horace silver has died I agree about "In Pursuit Of The 27th Man". Great record and the first time that I heard the great late Michael Brecker; it knocked my socks off. Here is an interesting glimpse into Horace Silver the bandleader and the making of that record accord... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Actually, PhD, I was in Japan two months ago and was flabbergasted at just how much hip hop culture has influenced pop culture there. It is very obvious in TV programming and commercials and the way young people dress. Rap in Japanese is something... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? As with most descriptions of the sonic attributes of gear, for a description to be meaningful and complete it must relate to the music. While I am sure square wave response is an important consideration when discussing the speed of a cartridge, I ... |
