| Jazz for aficionados Thank you, Pryso. Great stuff! Sorry I missed the birthday party. Here is the original version; with Mingus himself on bass. What would a birthday party be without a clown? đ Â | |
| Favorite religious song So many great ones. artemus5, re Black Sabath, who knew? Â I didnât. Â Seldom a good thing to be locked in oneâs opinions. | |
| Art Pepper fans out there? Great player. Unique in that he combined a West Coast style softer-edged tone with the swing feel of East Coast beboppers. Many great recordings including the ones mentioned. For something different try the recordings with the Stan Kenton Orchestr... | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? One of the traps that we audiophiles fall victim of is that we often do not prioritize the musical merits (performance values) of a recorded performance as the focal point of the listening experience. Â Instead, we focus on the âsoundâ of that reco... | |
| SQ or performance? This question has been asked a thousand times in different ways and with different wording. Of course we all want the best possible sound quality; this doesnât need debate. However, I think that the real question is how much does the listener rely... | |
| SQ or performance? ****Â But sound quality dont hold a candle to musical interpretation...**** Â Not much more to add. Â Great posts, mahgister. Since the subject is Classical music I will add that sometimes what is perceived as great sound is actually artificial so... | |

You canât retrieve what youâve lost no matter what speaker you use. **** And, the same idea applies to the next step in the chain, electronics. Of course, this assumes that there are no major issues with how the s... | |
| An Eyewitness's Fortune (musical). Wonderful! Â What the world needs more of right now. Â Thanks. Â | |
| Jazz for aficionados Loved the Marquis Hill clips, acman3.  Thanks!  New to me.  One of the most original trumpet voices Iâve heard in a while.  I can usually say to myself, âoh, I hear some Miles, or Freddie, orâŚ. â.  Hard to do with this guy.  He sounds great.  | |

| Jazz for aficionados Nice article, Alex; thanks. Thoughts? I would say itâs mostly accurate. Mostly. I think it puts a little too much emphasis on the notion of Miles being the âsensitive and introspectiveâ one and Trane the âgarrulous and long windedâ. Probably true ... | |
| One guitar, or three? Eagles, of course. Lynyrd Skynyrd. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are other faves that come immediately to mind. Having said that, I have a little trouble with the notion that âthree is more musical than twoâ, or âtwo is more musical than oneâ. D... | |
| Tom Jones This thread and mention of YouTube caused me to poke around there a bit. Â Putting aside the cheesiness of this type of show, check out his singing at 80 yrs old (!!!). Â I hope I can still pick my nose at 80. Â Pretty incredible. Â Â | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hope he is ok. Â Thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Has anyone heard from, or know about O-10? |
