| Jazz for aficionados Gents - If you haven't heard it, check out Alan Pasqua's "The Antisocial Club". You might find it pertinent to your fusion "discussion" and enjoyable too. | |
| Douk Audio. Any experience with any of their products? Purchased a 2-headed USB cable (separate power and signal legs) from Douk Mall on Ebay . The first one they sent did not work. Not sure why...but DOA (as was a 5 V Enercell power supply I bought from a different US-based Ebay vendor). Bad luck ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus - Very pleased you liked Sugarcane's Keyzop. He was part of the duo, Don & Dewey way back.His is another sad story of a musician. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_%22Sugarcane%22_HarrisSome of his discography is available on CD...bu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the recommendation Orpheus. Enjoying the piano solo around the 3 minute mark on Capra Black. Lee is certainly looking Miles-ish in that photo. Least it looks that way to me.I do still buy vinyl though most music purchase are CD. Hea... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "If Eric Dolphy's "Out To Lunch" ain't abstract, grits ain't grocery, eggs ain't poultry, and Mona Lisa was a man."O - Okay! So Out to Lunch is a good example of "abstract" to both of us."Some of my favorite musicians are crazy about 'Eric Dolphy... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Gotcha Orpheus. Good point about the contrast between Sidewinder and Search. Have to remember to also view these things in the context of the times in which they were released. I'll give a listen to the music on the link you provided. Also, fou... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Thanks for the follow up Whart. Hopefully it's of use to bdp. heheheh..."don't throw that switch!" Exactly. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello again Orpheus (regards to Frogman and Rok)...I listened to Lee’s "Search for The New Land". I was glad to see this concept of "abstract" getting a little discussion before I responded to you here. I do think we have different things in mind ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, Rok. Thanks Frogman. What I remember is closer to the photo Frogman found (used on Disc 3 of the box set, I guess) though I don’t recall the funky Hawaiian shirt he’s wearing. I looked at the release versions listed in AllMusic (and on Dis... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hope you will allow me, a jazz dilettante (and not an aficionado!) to jump in with a question on Lee Morgan. Years ago (70s/80s)I recall enjoying an LP of his, "Live At The Lighthouse". Confusing me now is that when I look at cover photos for th... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Hi Whart...is this the Tripp Lite unit you mentioned?http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-IS1000-Isolation-Transformer/dp/B00006HPFITo clarify about what I was describing (hopefully this will be of value to BDP, too) ... it's not an audio related pump... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Hey BDP...again, good luck to you. You certainly got a good number of tips from the members to at least consider. I wanted to mention PorterPorts as another option for your outlets. I can’t swear these so-called "audiophile" grade outlets make a b... | |
| Sources for information and/or advice on dedicated AC lines desired Hello bdp. We did a renovation of an already finished basement that allowed installation of dedicated 20 amp lines for a music listening area. I suspect what we did is sort of a basic/minimum. Were we building anew "from the studs", as it were, t... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Got Joanne Shaw Taylor playing. White Sugar. Couple of tracks in. Liking it. Her playing is economical with good tone. Somewhat understated (not necessarily a bad thing). Her band is good too, Tight. Crisp. Drummer's right on top of the be... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Bersarin Quartett III. Call it Modern Composition or Dark Ambient...it has elements of both. Moody and engaging with interesting sound textures. Melodic at times but not melody driven. Highly atmospheric. Works as background but rewards attent... |
