| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you can't teach an old dog new tricks, and since I'm a very old dog, that goes double for me; however, I'm trying to find some old tricks, that may be applicable to the new ones you're trying to teach me."Carmen" is the very first to come to ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Leersfool, although I liked all three, it was apparent that Jim Varner was the baddest, he blows and handles that horn like some of the best jazz tenor sax players.I sincerely appreciate your input, it's helping me to get a feel for the French hor... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Leersfool, I'm trying to get a handle on French horn and jazz. Although Miles used French horns on "Sketches of Spain" and "Porgy and Bess", they just seemed appropriate parts for a French horn as opposed to "jazz French horn". I would like your e... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since one of our Gurus who wasn't gone is back, I'm going to look into his suggestions, as well as yours. While opera and classical music are new to me, it could be an interesting adventure; you lead and I'll follow.Enjoy the music. | |
| Yusef Lateef Has Died at 92 "Sister Mamie" from "Live at Peps" is one of my favorite tunes by Yusef Lateef. He will be missed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DocPp6AKwGM | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, we never even got to the 70's. While I liked what we've been into, this was just the beginning of "modern jazz"; it had to evolve, and so it did. As a matter of fact, when a current jazz artist attempt to resurrect that music, it sounds redun... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you're moving too fast. The recording quality on these 100 best tunes is better than anything I've ever heard on LP or CD. As Nica would say "Just listen to the music Rok", and that's what I'm doing. When music is this well recorded, you can ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Maybe our Gurus will come back, but in the meantime we'll have to wing it. Since I need a change, I'm willing to give "your" Classical Music and Opera a try; where do I start?Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I had forgoten about Nog, but now I'm going to double up and get a little Grog for the Nog.I searched long and hard for something I would add to my collection by Wardell, but had no success for one reason or another, none of them to do with W... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'm sure he concentrated on his nuts, I don't know about the bolts.HAVE YOURSELF A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! | |
| PRIMA LUNA owners, what power tube are you using? Leersfool, I had the same exact experience, those 12AU7's were better than we thought. | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... ARC's are lean, and you have a SS preamp, I don't get it? Personally, I would never have a SS preamp, but I could go with a good SS amp. For the tube sound, the logical place to start is the pre. Manufacturers who make tube pre amps, also make SS ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I'll find out what's available by Wardell, and you can review any "you tubes" you find. If you find something you like, I'll let you know if it's available on CD.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "Wardell Gray" is our next project; he's a name that I remember from that summer in Chigago; cuz only selected the best, and that was a time and place when and where the best was readily available.Our job is to find the music I remember, whic... | |
| PRIMA LUNA owners, what power tube are you using? I use Tung-Sol EL34B, and I'm quite satisfied. Since I've had them for a long time now, that's a testament to their longevity. |
