| Jazz for aficionados Squarely in the middle of the umbrella.One of the things that a great recording artist considers is the order of the tunes on the record. This is one of my favorite records and there is something very right about the way the tunes, style wise and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I should have known better. Cheers. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good posts, Simao. | |
| Jazz for aficionados 😊O-10, those are more genre definitions which, as you yourself said, mean different things to each of us. You mentioned they share the rhythm ece of it. What is it, specifically, that makes one Jazz and not the other FOR YOU. | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, they share the rhythmic foundation. What then makes one “Jazz” for you and not the other. Specifically, please.And, btw, the only reason I’m asking any of this is that you reacted very strongly to my expressing doubt as to whether I would ca... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I realize that I don’t have the great ability that you do to definitively define music genres, but I wondered if you noticed the uncanny similarities between the Kokoroco tune that you posted which I “wasn’t sure is Jazz” and much of the “Af... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, I thought you were referring to “Spain”. You’re right, “Antidote” is even trickier with syncopations that are even more complicated. However, the tune is still in 4/4. When “trying to maintain 4/4 time” keep in mind that the downbeat of t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Slower tempos are always much harder than fast ones. Still just 4/4.😊 | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, even after all this time it is a mystery to me why it’s not possible to have intelligent disagreement with you, without you feeling that you have to respond with at least some degree of personal negative comment. So you think it’s Jazz and I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, classic Chick Corea tune. I think I know what you mean, but “Spain” has no time changes at all. After the slower introduction and the tune starts there are no time changes at all. It stays in 4/4 the whole time. The feeling of time chang... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No need for name calling. You think it is. No problem. Btw, re detestation and The Duke’s authority. I’m a little confused, I thought:**** Rok2id, a.k.a. the world’s foremost Jazz authority ****😊 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Heard these new things on the great WBGO recently:https://youtu.be/V7f3b2298gQhttps://youtu.be/_lnFPO4KsLshttps://youtu.be/FZ7ERshGaH0 | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** This is the first new jazz that’s impressed me. ****That is quite a statement.Honest question. Where do you, O-10 draw the “new” line? New in 2020? New since 2000? Since we’re being honest. FOR ME, Kokoroko is enjoyable and fun enough. Most i... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout Very nice cartridge the XTZ, chakster. Used it years ago. Should have kept it even though my pre at the time did not have enough gain. Having gone through just about every “Z” Grado at the time, I do remember that although their compliance specs w... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout You should consider sending your cartridge to Grado Labs and have them confirm (or not) that the compliance of your sample is to spec. I think that your Grado’s compliance is too high; regardless of what Music Direct says. Notice Orpheus10’s comme... |
