| Grado Sonata, Signature 8MZ, Shure V15VXMR I owned a number of Shures, including the V15, and have no idea how they got their fame. There's no doubt about the Sonata, I'm not sure I'll ever want to upgrade again. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, don't be sorry for the rant; put up or shut up. Now that we have "You tube", play like we're from Missouri and show us.Enjoy the mmusic. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Erroll Garners "Concert By the Sea" appeared in more aficionado's collection than any other LP I can recall, maybe the beautiful cover also had something to do with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH_GF4nw3JI&list=AL94UKMTqg-9Bp5HendeturB7B... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, how do you like this Diz. Kush is one of my favorite compositions by the "Bop master". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbVRM5-bcJo | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I looked at his Bio. and discovered he was self taught, which meant he was truly gifted.Not long ago, I was telling another professional jazz musician that my friend was one of the best ever. "He was good, but he wasn't that good", was th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "We", like the music and musicians we admire, are individualistic, and nobody's going to take that away from us. With this thought in mind, I sought a musician we could all agree on, and I think Mr. Gene Ammons meets that criteria. Here are two of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I'm absolutely certain it's jazz. He plays his voice better than many musicians can play their instruments. Here's more Bobby McFerrin. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?gmusi&1361722327&openflup&240&4#240 http://www... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pnmeyer, what's most astounding about my assessments and recommendations, is the fact that they are making me aware of all the CD's not currently in my collection.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, A professional jazz musician lived in my apartment for 3 months and he never practiced. I wont mention his name because every time it's mentioned, some clown pops out of the woodwork with garbage. In regard to,"If I don't practice for a d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jazzcourier, Mintons, a small joint in New York city, could hardly be called a "Public forum". Rok, if the JATP is your concept of jazz, that was dead a long time ago. Some reasons for the death of jazz are quite controversial, some aren't, like e... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lee Morgan, is one of the greatest "modern jazz" trumpet players ever in history. This is the consensus I've gotten after a lifetime of talking to other jazz aficionados. He was chosen when I picked Clifford Brown. I'll give you two of the many re... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jazz is not a single dish, it's a banquet, and I'm going to give you a sampling of some other treats in this same time frame, and genre.Although everyone knows "Stan Getz", not everyone knows all the facets of Mr. Getz. "Focus" is his most unique ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, together we have answered a consistent question of Foster_9's. Why can't he ever find a CD or LP of the live performances? Everything we want is before CD's, and LP's had very constrictive time restraints, consequently, those live performance... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, to further confuse things, the CD you have doesn't have all the tunes I heard on the concert, but believe me "Switzerland and Germany" are the same in regard to the music, year, and musicians. It's just like they picked up the band and moved ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, It's my fault that you're confused. When I said the man on that horn was not "Yusef Lateef", I meant it was him, playing music that was prescribed, and not his music; but that all cleared up later on when the "real" Yusef Lateef (according to... |
