| Interesting experience with a wall wart I wonder if the stock 24V DC wall wart is a "switching" power supply. These are very common. Have read they generate noise that can actually "backwards" contaminate the house AC. A Linear Power Supply (supposedly an inherently lower noise design) ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - listened to "Somethin’ Else". Interesting feel to it. Overall, more laid back than expected. Seemed more akin to some of that West Coast Jazz you posted. A classic album I’m sure. Liked the arrangements and playing. I enjoy Miles’ muted trumpe... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @frogman This is a hard listen for me. I am 20+ minutes into Pilgrimage and so far (especially w/respect to MBs soloing) it has seemed an undifferentiated mass of noodling. On the first 3 tracks, very little structure that I can grasp or melodic... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman - I should have been clearer about "unable to find it". I meant on Tidal or Spotify so couldn't readily listen through the main system. Yes, I did see it on YouTube. Thank you. | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - re the Brubeck Trio w/Desmond & Mulligan...I had to rewrite what I started out with. Initially: if ALL West Coast Jazz were like THIS, just shoot me. No doubt, East Coast/bop would be greatly preferred. Geez, give these guys some amphetam... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry, randy-11, can't help you with that one. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey O - see my reply from 11:35 last evening re West Coast vs Bop. There’s a place for both and fortunately we don’t have to pick one style over the other. "East Coast" (I hadn’t been certain that was a meaningful category name, but since you use ... | |
| I can't get sound from my denon avr 2808 I have a Denon 2910 DVR. There's an audio mode that shuts off all digital OUT and only outputs analog. I wonder if your AVR might have a function that blocks digital IN???Can you get sound through it from an analog source? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, I was curious and couldn’t wait. So I listened to both those other tracks...The 1958 Newport Performance by Jimmy Giuffre "The Train and The River" (with valve trombone and guitar). That’s another odd little track. Sounds very modern to me..... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - Comments about Focus. Listened to all the YouTube tracks. I had written comments about each track while listening the first time. Got distracted; changed the web page and lost all of it. Found the whole thing on Spotify. Tracks in proper order... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, O. I will listen to those. I already sampled the Getz Focus. My initial reaction to it was not that positive. Strings with jazz sax seems like oil and water to me. I didn't feel like one enhanced the other or that together they gener... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus - Okay...I expect you are talking about "Remembering Bud Powell"? That had the same personnel as in Acman's last video (well worth watching, I might add) + a few additions. If you fell in love with songs as done by Artist A, I can apprec... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Thanks. Doubt we’ll make a convert but that is some amazing work by McBride. As noted before, these guys have to have like martial arts quality fingers. Would not want to get poked in the eye by one of ’em.That Henning/Pedersen Double bass... |
