| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Nice music selections! One of my favorite Rock records from one of the all time best R&R bands that many have never heard of. Love the music of Astor Piazzola! Wonderful music. If you donât have it, may I recommend âZero Hourâ; arguably, his g... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Oops! Â Sorry for the double clip post. Â The other should have been :https://youtu.be/z9VpCLyxLfU | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you guys liked it. Not going to get into an argument between friends đ, but this comes to mind. What is a good Jazz singer and not just a good interpreter of songs. Seems to me that same as with instrumentalists they should be able to improvi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another Blackbird. Phil, again. Bird would have been proud:https://youtu.be/dnK910Nua6s | |
| Jazz for aficionados Me too! Jim Snidero is a great player. A protege of the great (and missed) Phil Woods. The venue for this recording, the Deerhead Inn, is in Pennsylvaniaâs Delaware Water Gap where Woods lived for many years until his passing and where he often pe... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Wonderful music and lovely performance!In simple answer to the question, a resounding YES. Frankly, I am surprised by how different the same cartridge sounds in each of the two head shells. I am not sure about the âgolden earsâ part đ, but the dif... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Yes, of course, Orpheus is a chamber orchestra. However, in this caseâŠâŠ Note that Prokofievâs âClassical Symphonyâ is scored for double winds (two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons), two horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings. They ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados My favorite recording of Prokofievâs homage to Haydn. Â Wonderful performance. Â For an orchestra to play with this level of cohesion without a conductor is miraculous. Â | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice Nat Cole! Â Underrated as a piano player.More Oscar Peterson. Â A more analytical look:https://youtu.be/3cQ1zFMHVXMhttps://youtu.be/2bcVy9HL9-E | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso asks an interesting question.  I agree with all that Rok wrote, but I think that there is, in fact, an answer to the questionâŠâŠin my book, anyway.OP was an amazing piano player and, to my ears, he definitely had a style.  He was a master of ... | |
| Oscar Peterson Performance 1983 Live in Tokyo Well, Iâll be darned!  Goes to show.  Peterson is known for preferring the Bosendorfer and it sure sounds like one; brilliant and very resonant. âŠ..power of suggestion?  Thanks for pointing that out, mspot.  | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? đ Interesting discussion as always, Halcro. Re the âprotuberanceâ:It appears to me that the protuberance is intended to keep the cantilever from moving too far in the downward direction. Perhaps to avoid putting excessive stress on the suspension (?... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you liked it, mahgister. Here is another interesting pianist that I enjoy. Subtle and introspective approach with a remarkably gentle tone. https://youtu.be/lmKOVUF6kNYhttps://youtu.be/UqydkoacVwghttps://youtu.be/kNhrygNQthw(Maybe Alex will l... | |
| Oscar Peterson Performance 1983 Live in Tokyo Great to see these greats get some love. Amazing musicians all. However, are we getting two different performances a little mixed up? Maybe Iâm missing something? If so, apology and please clarify.The 1974 trio performance at Ronnie Scottâs (Beato... |
