| Sonos Amp @audiojedi Thanks. That is good to know. Had not even looked at the specs on the 6T and didn't realize they were 4 ohms.It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Currently it is am estate/probate issue (not a contentious one fortunately) b... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. Enjoying Branford Marsalis' Eternal album. I like that it is laid back but does not, to my untrained ear, seem like "smooth" jazz. The tempo is slow but it is contemplative rather than simply soothing. A little melancholy but so far that seems to ... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. @dwiphefl1128, thanks for the recommendations. For some reason I am not drawn to female vocals in any of the music I listen to. I am not sure why. I do have a few favorites but not many. Anyway, as I've mentioned several times in this thread, my w... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. @andresb, @reubent , I have listened to some of Ford's more blues based albums. Great stuff. | |
| Sonos Amp I hesitated to mention which speakers because the Sonos Amp will not be equal to them in quality. It is a pair of Aerial Acoustics 6Ts and/or a pair of 5Ts.This is an estate/inheritance issue. It is not clear if I will have an option to get these ... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. @andresb is the one who mentioned Robben Ford. Thanks andres. | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. Okay, now I’ll make a recommendation for folks new to jazz who are into rock and blues:Robben Ford’s The Sun Room with Bill Evans (sax player, not the other one), Keith Carlock and James Genus. Maybe more blues that jazz. I don’t know. Guitar heav... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Has any one here heard the Johnny Mercer/Henry Mancini "demo" of Moon River? I don't suppose it is jazz per se but it is just Mercer singing and Mancini on the piano. I think it is the best version ever done.https://youtu.be/MKnZ174_kWk | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. @tubegroover I’ve watched the first five episodes of Jazz and I’m enjoying them.@andresb I’m familiar with Albert King, Buddy Guy and Hooker. I consider them blues guys but I suppose there is some overlap.Been listening to Metheny but I get a "new... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. Thanks. As mentioned I do have Amazon Music Unlimited. So far I have been able to find all of the music recommended here so I think Amazon's selection is okay.Amazon has a hi-res option but I do not get that since my streaming gear is not good eno... | |
| Anyone have experience with Aerial Acoustics 6Ts? In a possible answer to my own question, a review of the 6Ts said they were very efficient and sounded good on 10, 22 and 300 watt amps.This surprised me since the 7Bs that I own where said to be notably inefficient and needed serious horsepower b... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. My Amazon Music account is now starting to give me jazz recommendations and I happened on Grant Green's Idle Moments. I'm enjoying it. | |
| Anyone have experience with Aerial Acoustics 6Ts? If I get them I’ll plug them into my current system and if they sound better than the 7Bs then they’ll stay with my main system. If not they will go in the living room if my wife will allow it. It is a formal traditional living room in a 100 year ... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. I had not thought about Mel Torme. I’ll have to dig a little. Frank, I had not heard of that soprano (nor many others) but I will look her up as well.I got into Italian cooking years ago after watching Molto Mario, one of the best cooking shows ev... | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. @oregonpapa Frank, great quote. And it reminded me of something off topic. I am not an opera lover but I can enjoy some of them. I have also not traveled much but in 2009 went to Italy for the first time. Driven mostly by interest in Italian cooki... |
