| Jazz for aficionados O- almost left a PS about Stolen Moments last night but figured I was overstaying my welcome ("So, why you back, dude?"). I don’t know that tune at all...just what I heard on AJ’s The Awakening. What struck me is you get to around 30 seconds befor... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I single out KJ though that's probably not fair...there're others that would fit the bill AND I recognize he is highly regarded by many...including people I respect (e.g., a bro-in-law who is a gifted musician himself). Never the less, I single ou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - I’ll be interested to see what comments you get about The Awakening. It is a 1970 recording so it does jump ahead a good bit from the late 50s time frame you were in. Doesn't matter to me. You can really hear his "classical chops" all throug... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I think your last paragraph is "spot on" and captures my reaction to Jamal perfectly...much better than I could say it. Just listened to that 1958, Poinciana track from the Pershing recordings. Can clearly hear his use of "space" in that... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O- I really like the Ahmad Jamal tracks you linked to. I also finished all of The Awarkening and liked that from start to finish. Might be buying that one. I don't know enough to talk about how his renditions would compare to another jazz piani... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus - YES...Schubert. Sorry about that. Horrible with names. Hope he’s OK. I will go and check out your links. Haven’t yet. I am listening to Ahmad Jamal right now. "The Awakening". He is really good. (no one needs me to tell them that I suppo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus - speaking of "lost members", anyone heard from Schumann recently? I realized some weeks ago I'd not seen a post from him in some time. Hope all is well with him.O - your comments about Miles re AJ have roused my curiosity. I know nothi... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report A great album tonight, musically and sonically, by Spanish bass player, Carles Benavent: "Quartet". Definitely worth a listen. Also, for a change of pace: Arbouretum, "Song of the Pearl".jafant - you are welcome, of course. | |
| Subwoofer hunt @bob_reynolds Yes...thanks for confirming Bob. The SVS web site is indeed where I got the number I used. Expect I'll be talking to SVS next week...back and forth between an SV1000 or SV2000. Will try to remember to ask about that speaker level ... | |
| Subwoofer hunt @almarg Very helpful. Thank you. I also took notes from your line level input discussion in reply to rbschauman’s "Help Wanted Bass" thread. Regarding the true output impedance of my tube amps, unfortunately I’ve not seen info about damping factor... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @loomisjohnson The music is pretty conventional though not without some interesting solos (often from NC). Great lineup, for sure. Try this Spotify URL link. The "composer(s)" is: Broadbent/A.Cline/N.Cline/Erskine/Pasquaspotify:album:4qWljHqQQaC... | |
| Subwoofer hunt @almarg - Al, in case of a formatting error to your name in the request above, I'm re-sending. If you would be so kind, please see my question there. Thanks in advance. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Last night was The Music of Eric Von Essen Vol. I & II. An interesting Nels Cline connection here, for anyone interested ( @jafant , @loomisjohnson ). Pretty much "standard" jazz with a little twist. There is a 3rd volume as well, didn't ge... | |
| Subwoofer hunt Apologies in advance to spoutjack...@almarg ...So if planning to run from the 4 or 8 ohm output taps of an amp into the speaker level connections of a powered sub and the input impedance here, as per the mftr. spec, is 2000 ohm (SVS for their SB10... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Carles Benavent - Quartet Great "bass" recording recommended by Victor Wooten. Outstanding musicianship and sonics. |
