| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Before we relegate Feng Shui to simply superstition it might be helpful to note that the magnetic compass (a verifiably effective and still in use instrument) was developed for use in Feng Shui. Chi is an important aspect in Feng Shui practice. | |
| Jazz for aficionados And BTW, Rok, for whatever it may be worth, Wynton thinks Ted Nash is "the bomb". I don't know if you connected the dots, but Ted is 2nd alto in the LCJB and is often featured and has gotten some recent commissions for new works (worth hearing). | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I am not quite sure I understand what the problem is. I can appreciate and respect Acman3's choice to not engage in much of the debate/discussion, but, over the last three days alone, there have been close to a dozen links to new music and n... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, thanks for your impressions of those young players. I don't know what you listened to by Ted Nash, but I would give him another listen; he really is a great player. I must say that I don't know what the hell the comment that "he talks too muc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****I don’t like to hear someone put down dixieland. Those people who say there’s no music but bop are just stupid; it shows how much they don’t know.**** - Miles****I say, play your own way. Don’t play what the public wants. You play what you wan... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's one of the most interesting and forward-looking young saxophone players around and making some very interesting music; and an amazing instrumentalist.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NKgvNKHCBdMAnd here he is, along with Joshua Redman, as soloi... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Thanks for explaining. I have had many similar experiences over the years and all those subtle things can add up to something truly significant.Regards. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, thanks for the Joe Sullivan links. Nice! New to me. Very harmonically interesting writing; he has a unique voice harmonically. I particularly liked Lofsky's guitar playing.Here's a band composed of some of the best young NY jazz cats.http:... | |

I think we are talking about something else... | |
| Jazz for aficionados We can debate the issue of the meaning of popularity ad nauseum, and I could point out that you could not be more mistaken re the motivation of true artists being popularity since to most true artists popularity, even when sought and achieved, is ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Go out to hollywood to take a group photo of all the great western / cowboy stars. You may find a couple. They are all gone. Because Westerns are all gone.****Huh?! Strange analogy, but re your post in general, see my previous post; I said it ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados You guys are missing the point, and what Rok hits on (and the Harlem photo) goes back to the issue of popularity. Jazz will never be as popular as it once was, and there will never be as many movers and shakers living at any one point in time; tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados We can't have it both ways! We can't acknowledge that the arts reflect the times and then judge the quality of the art according to what it is reflecting, instead of, simply, how well it reflects it or not; wether we like what it is reflecting or ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes, and I particularly appreciated, in a brilliant stroke of orchestration genius, the addition (at 3:45) of the distinctive and subtle tone of the bassoon :-) I wonder how that guy sounds on the opening of "Rite Of Spring"? | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Excellent post, Al. I agree with you on every count, and can only say that it is a shame that you did not pursue electronic design in audio; it would have been to the audio world's benefit. |
