| Phono Stage_Skoll-by Schiit Audio @quincy Thanks for this thread, I happen to be shopping phono stages at this time. Do you have any criticisms, even minor ones, of this device? | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Thanks for setting me straight! I did not realize Sanborn had recorded so much as a leader and sideman. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Check out David Sanborn (really!!) on this Gil Evans track: https://youtu.be/CAD8CqYCGwQ?si=dQkU5w2NMCW_784x | |
| Qobuz newsletter I've had no breaks in receiving the newsletter. This service also recently started the "Qobuz club", which has an additional weekly email and a forum. Until your newsletter resumes, you might check out the "New Releases" information on the home p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim None of the live jazz shows I've attended were so loud that I needed ear plugs. If the group has any jazz-rock leanings, I'd probably bring ear plugs to be safe. New release from Jimmy Giuffre I like, concert from 1959. The sound is v... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Thanks for your input! I'll probably post my dilemma in the analog forum after reviewing your links. Charles Davis is another good baritone saxophonist. You can hear him on this album: https://youtu.be/3JIlzhYs5iI?si=wSpYaZ6TJ7LG-jhC... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Been out of pocket, here's a track I really like by Charles Lloyd quartet: https://open.spotify.com/track/40ZvTRrjQZ1JQiJnl3MkKR?si=b6a83562137d40d0 Any of you folks have a phono stage that you'd recommend? The Manley Chinook is intriguing to me... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Carla Bley, RIP 10-17-2023 I know some of you folks here are fans. Had my hopes up for another trio album. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Great post, thank you! I hadn't heard of Klezmer music before this very moment. More to learn. Also, your last 4 sentences hit home. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Came upon a new release from John Zorn, entitled "Homenaje a Remedios Varo" (Como se dice en ingles = "Tribute to Remedios Varo"). Here's a track: https://youtu.be/mmdYRnKlxgE?si=hmTrtOLdoFzQUm1v The guitarist is Julian Lage. The whole album is ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Here's another track where Russell Malone is prominent. The whole album is good. Benny Green is a terrific pianist! https://youtu.be/05J-XMbGupc | |
| Jazz for aficionados I found this recording inadvertently, by Kyle Eastwood: https://youtu.be/ApnMxGkF2TQ Recorded in 2013. I think the whole album is worth a spin. If you like trumpet players, one of the sidemen is Quentin Collins (not the guy from Dark Shadows); r... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I understand, no apologies please! No jazz police around here... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I've listened to about half of "1961". Good record when one is in the mood for some quiet sounds imo. Also KW's first album on ECM is "Gnu High". Very highly recommended. I think it was just reissued on vinyl. Backup group is Keith Ja... | |
| Jazz for aficionados With the idea of "less is more", here’s an interesting ECM recording. It was apparently produced by Creed Taylor in 1961, and remixed by the folks at ECM. The group is the Jimmy Giuffre 3, with Guiffre, Paul Bley and Steve Swallow. I haven’t heard... |
