| Jazz for aficionados Glad you liked the Metheny track, Orpheus. I followed Pat closely back in the ’80s but not for quite a while since then. Acman’s posting of "Acid Kiss" from The Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny got me interested in what he is doing now - this Unity... | |
| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... Hey Czarivey - Just something to think about. I was actually focused more on singles than whole albums. Somewhere there's got to be a list of top 100 recordings of all time. Go through that and see how many date from 50 years back. That would b... | |
| List of albums that will still be popular 50 years from now... czarivey - Take a look at today’s most popular albums that date from 50 years ago and I’m guessing at least 1/2 of those (probably more) will still be popular another 50 years down the road. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "The range of music called "jazz" is as wide as the Pacific Ocean....""The ’Jazz Pistols’ and the music currently under discussion, are like two different shores of the Pacific Ocean."" ’The Three Marias’ sounds like fusion; I have to get into tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Okay, Frogman. Listened to Atlantis. I could hear why you thought it would appeal to me. It’s got a contemporary sound and I do like the chord progressions and arrangements. Jury’s still out for a final verdict. Have to listen more to see whether ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman. re your comments about the Miles track (The Man I Love - Take 2, I believe) that O provided, pretty certain it’s the same recording as on the Jazz Showcase album he recommended. The opening segment featuring Miles’ trumpet is kind of "sle... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10 Hello Orpheus. Wanted to let you know I spent some time with that Miles/Jazz Showcase recording yesterday. Didn’t get through the entire thing but did listen to the first 8 of 11 tracks. Will finish listening and/or relisten to all in t... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen @arafiq -haha...I forgot that I'd posted about The Antisocial Club. I do tend to blab about the stuff I like mainly because it's great when something clicks for someone else. We'll try again here (even tho' it's not the topic of your post...but... | |
| Jazz for aficionados PS - I will look for that A/C essay. But it was a while ago...in print and not on-line. Not sure what publication. Thanks too for the trombone recommendations. What you are saying about TV seems like it matches up (at least in part) with what I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello again O...Appreciate the encouragement. Haven't started listening yet to the Jazz Showcase album you posted about. Might have found the whole thing on Spotify. Is this Jazz Showcase recording 11 tracks long? 'Round Midnight is track 4 on... | |
| 2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget? $2000 would get you a great sounding NEW pair of Silverline Prelude Plus speakers and possibly leave you a few hundred to put towards a subwoofer (highly recommended though not absolutely essential with the SLPPs). That’s just one suggestion out o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Welcome back, Orpheus. Enjoyed your post about the Miles compilation. Read an interesting essay once about the impact of A/C on neighborhoods and society. Don't want to overly romanticize things, but it's a mixed blessing (along with TV). Glad... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Amen, Ray. Thanks Frogman. Heaven help us no matter which of those two wins.Meanwhile, I continue my secession from TV Nation and am occupying a news-free zone. Liquid Soul S/T (as suggested by Alex) is cranked up. Feeling pretty serene for th... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen arafiq - Glad you are enjoying the Clear Days. A couple of your comments really resonated with me...in particular "added more heft". That was exactly the reaction I had to the Clear Days...and for me that was probably the major change I noted. It ... | |
| The dumbest stereo experience ever! Ha, koestner. Good one. Even at the young age of 7, some of us were trying to make sense of our world! Hope you continued that trait and today's results, whatever they end up being, don't discourage you. |
