| Jazz for aficionados Marija, I am devastated đ. Please donât misunderstand, I donât believe that any of this is necessary to appreciate the recorded music, but it will surely enhance it. Â Out of curiosity, have you ever heard a great, intelligently assembled audio sys... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the tip. Â Diamond it is! | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, we usually agree on what matters most, the music. However, I donât agree that some cases, some very expensive audio cables (and other gear) that is well matched to the gear it is connecting does not make a very significant and very audible di... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound Once again, interesting and with a different result from the audience; no audiophile audio system required to clearly hear the differences:https://www.thestrad.com/video/put-your-ears-to-the-test-can-you-pick-the-stradivarius-violin/4446.a...Inter... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound **** You assume the new instrument is easier to play. Thatâs a false assumption even just for the nature of the instruments tested. You assume they wonât get better on the new instrument as well, again a false assumption. You assume that playing a... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound Take the test đ. Â Even on an iPad the differences can clearly be heard:https://www.thestrad.com/video/put-your-ears-to-the-test-can-you-pick-the-stradivarius-violin/4446.a... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound **** Wasnât that test about how audience hears it and not how the player feels while playing it? ****It was both; the article made that clear. Perhaps I was not clear in what I wrote; although I feel I am just repeating myself:When a player first ... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound Apology if anyone is offended that after writing that I would âleave the threadâ I should post again. The most recent comments re âStrads vs newâ is a little too close to home to ignore; and prompted me to comment and add to mahgisterâs excellent ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, Inna.  Fantastic Camaron! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Inna, I canât take credit for the translation, but here it is:https://lyricstranslate.com/en/abode-abode.html | |
| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, Iâm tempted to say that it is not possible for a player to be considered underrated after spending so many years being Monkâs tenor of choice. Not of the stature of a Trane or Rollins, but that credential alone would make a player one of ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Â With Desmond, it's almost as if someone handed him an alto and said "here, make this instrument sound the best it can." ****Keegiam, Â not meaning to repeat myself, but one of my favorite quotes by a Jazz musician:When asked how he got that wo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Â From Cedar Walton's Eastern Rebellion. Â Forget who on this thread suggested the album but THANKS again. ****đGood to see you back, Ghosthouse. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, thanks for that âTanyaâ by Dexter. Â Great stuff. Â Glad you liked that Desmond âSkylarkâ. Â Hereâs another CTI recording by him that I like very much. Â Ed Bickert on guitar this time. Â https://youtu.be/7BzuqrxuRNghttps://youtu.be/VwjW-FUh3U... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good for you for paying attention to those things. Puts things in a deeper context. Â Baremboim is a monster musician. |
