| Jazz for aficionados Acman, this is the very fist time I've heard this lady; she's as good as the great jazz divas of the past. What I like is no exaggerated scatin, everything just flows naturally.I'll have to get this album.Gil Scott Heron was a man who always had s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, your post was so beautifully accurate, that I'm not going to spoil the spell it cast by my ugly social comments.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Correction! I should never post early in the morning; although I read this post twice, I didn't see a glaring error, "One set of tracks for the music, and another set of tracks for the music", That should of course read "One set of tracks for the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Da Blues! "Let's cover Da Blues". As some may know, I have an aversion to certain kinds of blues; it's not the music, but social factors surrounding the music that bother me. I don't hear the music, but see and hear all the social factors surround... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I was unaware of government corruption in Cuba. I don't believe the kind of control the government exerts over the Chinese would be tolerated by the Cuban People; there is a limit, and if a united people say "NO", that's the limit. The go... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok and Frogman, I'm sure you're both wrong about Cuba, it's not a third world country. While economically it looks like a third world country, the fact that it has an educational foundation plus unified people who have been around the block will ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, would this Eddie Fisher play the guitar in St. Louis, E. St. Louis, and Centerville-Illinois. If so that's the one. Although I saw him play, and it was decided by the majority that he could become rich and famous if he ever left Centerville, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Correction"! one of the "O"'s was left out of "good", and it turned into "God". | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, here's something I found on the tube that I heard live more times than I can count. It brings back memories of some incredibly good times; he played it different every time, I can close my eyes, go back in time and hear it without scratches c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I always appreciate your contributions. Phil Woods is quite appropriate on this thread, and an extended discussion can be carried on."Sonny Boy", now that's one of them god old deep in the Delta names, and this music exemplifies "Sonny Boy"... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Everything must change, the young become the old, and the old will soon depart; change is the only thing that's certain about life. If you want to know what's good about changes in jazz, look no farther than Cuba; the most scintillating "Afro jazz... | |
| The great Phil Woods has passed. He was one of the great ones, and he will be missed.As hard as I've tried, I still can not make the transition from old to new; his version of "Stolen Moments" is "old school" and I could listen to it all night long, going deeper and deeper into t... | |
| DYI cable Belden had some microphone cable that I bought by the 100 foot reel to make interconnects, and somebody paid them to quit making it. That cable was a combination of silver and copper. You start with the wire. Vampire Wire will sell you some good w... | |
| primer on buying vintage tubes? I like Brent Jesse. Mullards last a long time, my 6922's are good after many years, and the good thing about NOS tubes is they don't sag, meaning lose their sparkle, while current production tubes lose their sparkle in a hurry. There's no doubt ab... | |
| Best Female Vocalists Ballads I'll second Shirley Horn, and you can add "Cecile McLorin Salvant". |
