| Jazz for aficionados This Lyle Mays piece isn't jazz, and it doesn't rock or swing. It is, however, one of the most pensively beautiful recordings I've ever experienced. Forget labels. Just give yourself 5 minutes to listen and enjoy the heartfelt vision behind thi... | |
| Phono setting and MC/MM BTW, I hope your buddy realizes what a good friend you are to donate a TT with a Hana SL! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Looked for "San Lorenzo" studio version but couldn't find it on YT.This live version (1977) is somewhat similar:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAlyWSAxNZ8Yes, this is one of the group's "mood music" pieces, but so what? Those who dismiss Metheny... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, thanks for calling my attention to Lyle Mays' work outside of the PMG. I always appreciated his playing with Pat. His solo on "San Lorenzo" (first cut on "Pat Metheny Group") is simply beautiful. I loved hearing it 40 years ago and still f... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Nice performance by Stanley Clarke with his quartet featuring Hiromi Uehara on piano.Warning: no woodwinds or brass included. Two keyboards, bass and drums.I am consistently blown away by Hiromi's talent and exuberance. A total joy.https://www.y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you don't get it.We're human, and we hear live music with the hearing we're stuck with. All we want of our audio systems is to present performances with the most true-to-life recreation possible.It doesn't matter how a dog hears or how a tig... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of frenetic...Chris Potter is featured here on tenor, but make sure to pay attention to Benny Green's keyboard work."Moment's Notice"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJxGmD7ePME&list=RDuaUTSUb1zXw&index=2 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jimmy Owens featured in this video of "Donna Lee" from '73. Great clip, but keep in mind the emphasis was on "frenetic." Yikes. BTW, Roy Haynes on drums.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaUTSUb1zXw&list=RDuaUTSUb1zXw&start_radio=1 | |
| members and their systems First system bought in '76. I'm now on only my 2nd pair of speakers and my 3rd turntable/arm and preamp/amp set-up. Before I bought, I spent a lot of time reading the experts' thoughts on various components and taking records to audio shops to l... | |
| Phono setting and MC/MM I strongly doubt the receiver is switchable to MC. He will probably need a separate "head amp" (phono pre-preamp). I would guess old head amps are available used for $50-$100. | |
| Jazz for aficionados *****As a side note, good system should maintain its character when listened to from another room.*****Good systems are absolutely convincing in other rooms, or even outside of the building. One day I was playing a Sonny Rollins album at realisti... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Funny, all my high end cables were trade-ins, and I've stuck with them. Saved a lot of $$$ thanks to the types who are eager to spend more in almost no time. My Cardas balanced interconnects are awesome and I paid something like $350 for the pai... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, digging the Corea/Haynes/Garrett/McBride concert as I type this. Looked it up, and it happens that yesterday was Haynes' 96th birthday. A life well lived, that's for sure. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another wonderful performance, beautifully filmed.Note Paco's use of a capo on the 2nd fret in the opening piece, as a soloist.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYYDdn1rRKs |
