| The many musical faces of Mr. Miles Davis? Umm...I believe Miles drove a yellow Ferrari. | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. To add to Elizabeth's last post: when trying to introduce someone to Jazz, I generally try to be cognizant of the fact that a person either "gets" Jazz or they don't. There's really no in-between. So, I find that all you can really do is expose a ... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Well said, Aldavis. I think you set the record straight. | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Orpheus, there is a well documented and defined lineage of the different "styles" or "generes" (or whatever you want to call them) within the realm of "Jazz." None of these styles or genres exist or came about independently from one another. | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Agree with Chazro. It is easily to glorify the past and call something a "Golden Age." Did anyone know it was a "Golden Age" when it was in real time? Probably not. There could be a Golden Age (in any genre) in the making right under our noses. Th... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. IMHO, the one group of jazz supermen that could seemingly do anything and take the music anywhere, who played with such telepathy and total command of the idiom, that will always be copied but never quite duplicated, is Miles' Second Great Quintet... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Can't say I agree that Jazz (or "Jass" as it was reportedly first called) from 1957 to 1967 was the most "definitive." I would agree that during that time period, Jazz morphed into something different than everything in the idiom that had come bef... | |
| What is your favorite guitar solo of all time? Joe Pass - the entire "Virtuoso" album | |

As a good resource for reviews of current jazz releases, check out www.allaboutjazz.com There are more suggestions here than you will know what to do with. As far as young lions of Jazz today, here are a few that haven't been mentioned: Kurt Rosen... | |
| tutube or not tutube I second Elizabeth's post. I have an ARC SP-16, which has six tubes. Before I bought this pre-amp, I had the same concerns as Udo. But Audio Research makes it a no-brainer. I've had the SP-16 for 5 years now, and have just reached the end of the t... | |
| Miles Davis - Time After Time Sympaticonorm,I would expect the quality of that release (Jazz door 1257) to be inferior. I suspect that release is an inferior live copy of one of Miles' later concerts. I have a similar release (Miles Davis - In Montreux) from the same label and... | |
| Excellent SACD quality "A Love Supreme" Coltrane Crad,The 2003 Impulse version (B0000610-02) is vastly superior to the '86 version you own. According to the liner notes, this version was mastered by Rudy Van Gelder, from a copy different than "all previous digital incarnations of A Love Supreme.... | |
| Cdp that's closely related to Audio research sonic What about any transport with the Audio Research DAC 7? | |
| Oppo Blu-Ray burn in experience I did not experience any noticeable burn-in with my Oppo BDP-83. Then again, I do most of my listening via the digital out, going into an external DAC. The only time I use the player's DAC is when I'm watching movies. So, it is possible the player... | |
| Has my Meridian 506 become an expensive door stop? I had this same player for a while, and it exhibited the same problem as you describe, right out of the box brand new. Send it back to Meridian and they did the "grease the chasis" thing, which did not solve the problem. |
