| Jazz for aficionados Hi Orpheus - that track of Julius Watkins you posted is the first one on the album I was talking about. Hilarious! And yes, that is Martha Flowers on the original Trek theme. She is on a couple of different tracks on French Horns For My Lady. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi Orpheus - I was out of town for a few days there. I am actually not familiar with the soundtrack to On Green Dolphin Street. I know that's a Lana Turner film, but I have not actually seen it yet. Now that I know it has a good soundtrack, I will... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi Orpehus - I happened to come across a photo today of the woman who recorded much of the singing for Rita Hayworth in her musicals - Nan Wynn. Didn't look up a discography for her or anything, just happened across the name and thought you might ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados That was a nice clip, Orpheus! They were hoping Abbe Lane would possibly be another Rita Hayworth, but that obviously did not pan out. She wasn't the dancer Hayworth was, and she certainly didn't have the acting chops. She sang better, though - sh... | |
| Goodtube integrated I would highly recommend the PrimaLuna line - I use a Dialogue 2 myself. I prefer it with EL34's rather than the KT88s. | |
| Rega RP3 Bias/Anti-Skate My experience is also similar to Viridian's. I would not, however, try adjusting it on the fly, but that's just me. Viridian has much more technical expertise than I. | |
| warm sounding cartridge for rega arm I have been using a Rega Exact 2 on my P5. I know many who recommend Dynavector's, but I believe those are MCs? I have not heard good things about pairing Grado with Rega. If you go with something other than a Rega that meets your criteria, please... | |
| Mac question Ejlif is correct - you have to go through iTunes on a Mac. You can use a different program to burn a CD of stuff you like (I use a program called Burn), but iTunes has to see it first before you can do anything else with it. | |
| Jean-Luc Ponty Simao, thanks for noticing about the daughters and the screen name! :) Yeah, I think both of Clara's albums I know of were done in the mid to late 90's. Don't know if she's recorded any since - I know she still performs, but I believe mostly in Eu... | |
| Jean-Luc Ponty I went to school with his daughters - his oldest, Clara, is a fine pianist, and has recorded a couple of albums, though they are more "new age" than jazz. Both she and her sister Eva are very beautiful women as well. Clara was based in New York fo... | |
| New tv? Bo, once the TV has been on for I believe it is 200 hours, you should have it professionally calibrated, unless you know how to do this yourself. I watched the guy do it, and could do it myself now. I could not believe the difference this made. Bu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Just noticed someone mentioned the tune "Angel Eyes" a couple of days ago. For all those who have not heard it, you MUST listen to Ella's rendition of this on her 40th Birthday Concert album, which was recorded live in Rome. Fantastic album, by th... | |
| New tv? I still think my Panasonic plasma beats anything else other than that Pioneer Kuro that I have ever seen. Nice to hear the Samsungs have improved. However, I think it is still true that Panasonic's customer service is considered FAR better than Sa... | |
| It's time for a new button on Audiogon I appreciate where Viridian's frustration with people who ignore what is said in ads; however, I think those same people will still ignore the presence of that button and send in a lowball offer anyway, so in the end, no, I don't think it would do... | |
| Greatest Composers of All Time Thanks for the clarification, Audiozen! To the subject of Mozart's piano concertos - one of the very underrated things about them is that they were actually used by him as laboratories of orchestration, particularly wind orchestration. His last sy... |
