| Tell us compliments received on your system... My upstairs neighbor's complaint to the management office: "He can't practice his trumpet and have his band here after 11:00 PM". | |
| help me find quality classic jazz? Lester Young, Ben Webster, and Coleman Hawkins seem to be what you're looking for. All old, mellow, breathy and intimate. I'm actually listening as I type to a Lester Young recording with the Oscar Peterson Trio. Any one, actually all three, are w... | |
| Eerie, Ethereal, Moody, Involving Soundtracks The Requiem for a Dream soundtrack fits the bill of dark, eerie, and absorbing. Disturbing movie, with a musical score that's just as dark and chilling. | |
| Native American Music Check out Inca Son @ Incason.com. I have seen them on several occasions at festivals and public events in Boston. They are wonderful, and always draw sizable audiences. I've picked up one of their cds at these events, but I think they're also avai... | |
| Keith Jarrett Recomendations Keith Jarrett is an amazing pianist. For me it was La Scala that got me hooked. | |
| Jazz Supergroup: Hancock, Shorter, Holland & Blade I had a similar experience to Ozfly when I caught Hancock last year at the Berkley performance center. Some of the more experienced folks who sat behind us were exhilirated after the concert. As for myself, gf, and a couple of friends (all relativ... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Carlos Santana for rock and Pat Metheny for fusion. | |
| Naxos, the way to go for classical? Thank-you all for your thoughtful responses. This should provide me with enough to get started in the genre. Always on the look-out for new music, this will be a fun and rewarding experience. | |

| R.I.P Elvin Jones Here's a heart-breaking story I've read a while back:From an unidentified doctor who attended the show (from a Latin Jazz site): This might be beyond Latin Jazz, but this is the only egroup that I think might be interested in the description of my... | |
| Favorite music for studying or working Mozart for work and light, mellow piano trios/solo for studying. I'm a mad number crunching animal with my head-phones tuned to Mozart. | |
| Experience with FIM Gold i/cs? Hello,I'm currently using a pair in my system in between the cdp and pre. If you have used their pc before, I would say that the sound is somewhat similar. What I have noticed is these cables are dynamic, full-bodied, neutral (leaning towards warm... | |
| Merlin Room at 2004 HE Show in NY I was at the show and thought both rooms were superb. The Kharma/Lamm room was excellent but as Trelja mentioned, some very pricey stuff there. The sound was incredibly lifelike, so much so that my gf doesn't want to leave, but...The Merlins/Joule... | |
| How do you get to listen to high end speakers? That dealer sounds like an ass. I remember when I first got into this hobby, I went to a high-end shop in Boston to buy a $100.00 cable and was treated to a listening session of a $100,000.00+ system by the owner. I've been chasing after that soun... | |
