Max Roach/ Clifford Brown; who was the leader and who was the sideman?Bird and Diz is never referred to as   Diz and Bird, I wonder why not? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovCpL1zjBgI

One of the most interesting sideman/ leader dynamics is Donald Byrd/ Pepper Adams.

A debate is what it is; here's Miles Davis sounding like "Miles Davis" on Autumn Leaves;          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiE8-NlMbSMHere's Miles Davis sounding like Cannonball wants him to sound;            https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Because Miles is featured on Cannonball's album "Somthin Else", there are those who want to say this is a Miles Davis album.Miles is a "sideman" on this album; repeat after me, "Sideman"!All the music on this album is Cannonball's, not Miles. Ca...

In 1960, I bought "Mingus Ah Um Charles Mingus" and I only had a one box record player in one room at the barracks, and I enjoyed it very much. I have a high end rig now, and I'm still enjoying it. I would rather listen to the music posted on th...

Just like in ice cream there are many different flavors, and so it is with tube preamps, I'm not pushing one tube over the other, but I am pushing tube over SS. 
Jazz for aficionados
Tube, or SS is not about the quality of one over the other, it just that as an objective "music lover", tube pre is the only way to go. I listened to SS Audio Research and rushed it back to the dealer, while I considered Tube ARC the best.

I'm glad we're having this conversation here; "analogers" are prone to exaggeration, but I believe and trust my fellow music lovers.I always had to spend more money on analog to equal CD, and now I know why; all CD players are not created equal, a...

Alex, most of my records are original, and me and Rok bought the best 100 jazz tunes that were on CD, and those new CD's are better than my original records.

Pryso, we discuss what ever we feel like discussing on this thread, although the "deleter in chief" might erase it.Maybe I have a much better digital rig, because it took 3K for me to just equal it, and that was with a Rega tweeked to the max, plu...
