| Jazz for aficionados Acman, we absolutely do not look at life from different angles, my friend "according to Wiki" started when he was a child, and worked all of his life, that's all he did. That summer he was was performing three nights a week and had absolutely no ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, the aristocracy has made the decision in regard to Wynton Marsalis; I guess that's because he can play classical music and went to Juilliard.Everybody, including me, put Wynton in the class with all the past mentioned great trumpet players w... | |
| Help! My system is very bright it hurts my ear The very first thing you need to do is "simplify" your system. Conrad Johnson tube pre in your price range for a start, and a pair of tube monoblocks by PrimaLuna could be the start of your trip to paradise.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados The reality of a any highly regarded jazz artist; they had the talent, plain and simple; "either you got it, or you no got it". I can think of an artist who got world wide publicity, went to Julliard, played with the very best jazz artists aroun... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, very good contribution. "Blue Note" pushed their artists to produce original, visceral jazz of the sort attainable only with time and hard work. The music that arose in this atmosphere was like no other."Does that mean that "Blue Note" can t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Too third world"; but I like third world, a drum hasn't been made that I don't like. I admit the guy on the cover didn't look much like Horace Tavares Silver, until you took a closer look, but everything must change.I've been listening to "Bird'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, if there's anything you should have learned by now, it's "you can't teach an old dog new tricks". Here's my thoughts for the day for you "The sun will come out tommorow"Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is from "Silver N' Percussion" I think it's fairly interesting. It came out in 77 and not too bad for that time frame in his career. Babatunde Olatunji on percussion makes this one worth a listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I really enjoyed those clean recordings of Louis Armstrong; it's funny, but I'm so accustomed to the noise, clicks, and pops when I hear Louis Armstrong, that clean recordings of him sound strange.In regard to the trumpet players, we share t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I thank you for another fantastic contribution; Horace Silver is really digging in on this one; the way he's sweating, I hope that piano is waterproof. Everybody is playing at such a high energy level; I don't see how they can maintain the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, did you check out the link on my post at 4:58PM ? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman posted "Graffiti Blues" by Blue Mitchell on 4/11/96, and it was released in 1973. Me and my buddies had what we called the jazz posse in 1973. When one of us bought a new album, the first thing we did, was to get on the phone and call for ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Should have stayed with Julien", you got that right. I can no longer afford the Kool aid, but once you start, you can't stop. I long for those good old Stereo Review days, I still have a few; I really get a kick out of the low prices of equipment... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, could you kindly respond to the post just above your last post? | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Silver's own version of Nica's Dream is my favorite of the two; by a long shot! Blakey's version is too slow. There is no law that says that a tune can't work played at a tempo different from the one the composer intended, but this is a case wh... |
