| Jazz for aficionados On "Bird Gets the Worm" nobody can play that fast, and sound good at the same time. That was Miles Davis (trumpet), Duke Jordan (piano), Tommy Potter (bass) and Max Roach (drums), all of whom have a solo on this track.Wes Montgomery appeals to a ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados How about something downright weird; got to get my fix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwd-nWr_-70 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, laughter is good for the soul, I'm glad that I put some humor in your life; it was a great show.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, that "stereotypical" was in reference to the "sax riffs" in so much of current jazz that is most certainly unoriginal, and I've heard it so many times before. Any time you say "Jazz", I can be certain of those same riffs; that's what I'm... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very good Rok; if you noticed, he contributed nothing worthy of our attention, but I still tried to be polite, which was something he didn't seem to appreciate.That Ellington tune is quite appropriate.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Inna, my arrogant friend, in regard to computers, you are living in the stone age; when you get to "Bedrock" tell Wilma and Fred hello for me.Your "tunnel vision" prevents you from seeing what's around you, it would be safer if you let someone els... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, those are three incredibly beautiful albums. Naturally I have 2 out of 3 in my collection; Jim Hall was on the West Coast a lot, I've got him as a side man. Him and Chico Hamilton made a lot of music together.Keep em coming. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Inna, you'll benefit from what I'm going to tell you whether you get a reel or not, but especially if you get a reel. My set up goes out of the phono, into a highly modified interface. They didn't have "audiophile" interfaces then, but they do no... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, on this thread, there is no such thing as bad taste, there is no such thing as "objective" music; if you don't like, you don't like it, end of story.I know exactly what you mean when you say "straight up jazz", I don't like it either w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A very good suggestion Frogman. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Inna, I sometimes forget that I have a "Geek" who takes care of the computer stuff, because I don't know "squat" about computers. Since he told me there is no left and right channel inside a computer, I quit asking questions. Now when he sees I'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Nothing Personal" Frogman, I've said many times how fortunate we are to have your input on this thread, just because you and I don't always see eye to eye, doesn't mean I don't appreciate the insight into music that you give us.While I don't spea... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Inna, that's the way it goes into the computer interface, and then into the computer. We went round and round, right here on the PC forum about which "interface" and they were discussing which "audiophile" card to use on Stereophile. In order to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Inna my TT is in moth balls, that's because I archived all LP's; and don't let no body kid you, that's just as good as playing the LP when you want to hear it, but first make sure all that PC stuff is kosure so that you can hear every nuance of a ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Inna, on the "real side", about reels, unless you can buy an almost new one, or have an unlimited budget, this might be a good way to go, at least it's worked for me for a number of years.I have a service manual for my Technics RS 1500 US 2 track,... |
