| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, O. So it's a compilation album. That makes sense and explains why I wasn't seeing it listed in Adderly's discography. I did listen to all of it on Spotify. There is audience noise...some whooping and hollering on just about every track... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Randy - Apologies in advance if you already know of them, but the Rudy Van Gelder reissues seem to be highly regarded. The couple I have or heard do seem to have excellent sound quality. The collection here might be a place to start.https://www.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados re Cannonball Plays Zawinul...An Amazon review and a link to the album liner notes:http://albumlinernotes.com/Cannonball_Plays_Zawinul.html4.0 out of 5 starsadderley & zawinul = frantic funBy William J. James on February 20, 2005Format: Audio ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados What I don't get is this, how can anyone like Adderley and The Jazz Pistols at the same time.Rok - I'm supposed to think you gave the Jazz Pistols a serious listen? And further, based on your past couple screens worth of diatribe, why would I eve... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hope you like it, Frogman. On a second listen today, sonics and playing are still great but song to song they aren't all of the same quality. Some work better than others. It's a pretty long recording...think they could have edited some stuff o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It has entered "Tedious Territory".Gonna go play that Cannonball Adderly clip that O posted 9 million words ago. | |
| Question for sub woofer users jzzmusician - In my experience they can be set and forget after the initial (week?) of set up. I fairly recently got a pair of SVS SB1000. Not the most expensive subs out there but they have greatly increased my level of musical enjoyment. They... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Could imagine some black pepper with that...Yes - I've been checking in here periodically over the years. Sometimes the family squabbles are entertaining. Sometimes a little tedious. Rok do have attitude (or, as they would say in NE Phila., at-... | |
| Looking for music streamer/server...Is a Macbook Pro better than a Sony Hap Z.... Another happy Auralic Aries Mini user coming from a MacBook Air using USB out to MF VLink 192 to Schiit Gungnir. ALAC files on external hard drive played by BitPerfect. Haven't upgraded the power supply on the Aries yet. It did let me get rid o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Okay...the NYC oracle = Frogman. Personally, I’d be adding him for a consult on matters of taste too (just saying’).Christian McBride is definitely an outstanding bass player. Another great example of his talent in that Metheny/Brecker Baltica per... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello O. Yup..."pocket trumpet" came to mind after I asked the question so I looked that up. Don is actually mentioned in the Wiki entry for that type of trumpet. The think I find interesting is that they claim the sound is the same as a conven... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Jazz Pistols - liveContemporary fusion out of Germany. Great musicians. A very tight outfit. Love the guitar and bass tones in particular. Worth checking 'em out. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry O - My fault. Didn't realize what would follow posting that Paul Butterfield link.[But please do allow one last word from me on the Blues. Acman - YES! Rory is great. I have a high regard for him. Check out the Irish Tour '74 documentar... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex - I gotcha. This seems like another of those quick sand/subjective areas - maybe. Kinda like Rok and Orpheus discussion about what constitutes (authentic) blues. Leastways, it seems that way to me. I'd be real interested in something you ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey Rok- Below is Frogman’s post (10/15/16 8:35 AM) that I was replying to. This immediately followed Orpheus’ Wiki post about your International Sweethearts of Rhythm). (Where do you find this stuff?!) Didn’t realize you had said anything earlier... |
