| Jazz for aficionados Rok, there were some "hard bop" musicians who could not read music, all strongly influenced by Black Gospel. Not so in West Coast musicians, they could read and write music.East Coast is also more impromptu improvisation (very emotional), while W... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, either that, or they like to play with people who talk like them. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman I knew you could explain this much better than me.****Why were all the East Coast guys black and all the West Coast guys white?****"West Coast guys white"; that even went for the music, the Black guys even sounded White; I thought Buddy Co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I'm still waiting for the Frogman to answer your question in regard to East Coast and West Coast jazz; although I know the answer, I feel that Frogman could put it into words better than me. | |
| Studer vs Otari Blank tape is too big of a problem to buy a reel of any kind. | |
| Studer vs Otari Inna, I've had my Technics 1500 for 20 years, and it's never been to the shop, plus you get good support from Panasonic when it comes to parts. Since you already know someone who can make it like new, I don't know why you don't have one? htt... | |
| Studer vs Otari I own a Technics RS-1500 and an Otari 4 track MX 5050 that comes in two pieces. Since I've owned a number of reel to reel decks, I see things a lot of people don't see; like tape handling for example; the more expensive Otari is a beauty to behol... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Without a doubt, Shelly Manne was THE preeminent drummer on the West Coast; however, I don't see any "founding father" of West Coast jazz, it seemed to spring from the mood of the West Coast, which was laid back and casual, as opposed to "hard bop... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary_jo, I enjoyed the clip a second time around, it did my heart good to see people laughing, dancing and having a good time. Once upon a time, that was common in all our major cities. I'm rooted in reality, and it's easy to explore our major c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary_jo, the Lindy Hoppers were fantastic; the reason I enjoyed them so much was because I never even mastered the two step.Keep those interesting clips coming. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, Gerald Wilson, Algerian Fantasy is another must have record. (isn't it ironic that back then, all we could get is records, and now that we have CD's, all I want is records)So much desirable music has been submitted, that I'm going to have ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I guess you know I like baritone sax; really enjoyed that cut, the organ took it to another level.I couldn't help but think of "Miles" when I heard "Love For Sale".All of those cuts were good refreshing "straight ahead jazz". | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, those Steve Turre clips were really boss; Ray Charles on one, and Chucho Valdes on the other, really took them over the top. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "Don't Go To Strangers" is probably one of the best recorded records, as well as the most perfect classic jazz vocals of all time. | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? To answer the question, I would say "yes", because it takes a lot of effort to hear the best, including reading many stereo magazines, and going places where you hear the best equipment. |
