| Jazz for aficionados In an earlier post I stated that Charlie Parker's spell was cast too strong over jazz in the 50's. While that was true, it was impossible not to come under the "Bird's" spell. He played jazz in so many different ways that they couldn't be classifi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, as I stated on an earlier post, if I'm not "resonant" to the music being played, it sounds like noise. It's for sure I'm not resonant to that music, but this is joke isn't it.Enjoy the music | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you were absolutely correct in assuming we could skip over the usual suspects. That first LP led me to a gold mine. Curtis Counce, Shelly Manne, Andre Previn, Bud Shank, Jimmy Giuffre, are all proponents of the West Coast jazz that I'm se... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Charlie Mariano is one of those musicians, I saw out of the corner my eye; meaning he was around, but I just didn't see him. I also discovered what we wont discuss, in consideration of Rok's sensitivities.Good "West Coast" jazz is somethi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Soul Jazz", that sounds like an appropriate name for the music presented by this aggregation. However, I beg to differ in regard to the home thing. I picture myself seated at a table with a beautiful lady who enjoyed jazz even more than me. Kenne... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Foster, the key to finding what you're looking for is the time. My recorded version is 7 minutes long while that was 18 minutes long. The biggest difference is Horace's long "unrestrained" solo. That goes for "Senor Blues" as well. Although I've g... | |
| Upgrade from Rega P3-24 ..... Since cartridges are musically dependent, I never recommend one. The TT can be upgraded substantially by tweaks. Incognito tone arm rewire, heavy weight for the arm, and "Groovetracer delux subplater". Those three tweaks made a substantial improve... | |
| Got Ears? After you develop golden ears, they become a curse; although I must admit they come in handy for acquiring holographic sound. After I got what I wanted, I tossed my beautiful pair of "audiophile" golden ears out the window. Now I have a brand new ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Foster, I understand why you said "Oh my Lord!" That was beyond words. I feel fortunate to have heard and seen it. Thank you much.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados We made a wrong turn, I hope we can acknowledge that fact, drop it 100% and move on. Otherwise we all lose.Never before have I been in a conversation with so many astute jazz aficionados. They can contribute to the most important aspect of an audi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I've already got Nina, I'm going to have to catch up with you on Chucho Valdes. Where do I start? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I have "The Complete Blue Note Recordings of The Tina Brooks Quintets", that was put out on Mosaic Records. He expressed "Tina Brooks" eloquently, and that's what it's all about. Some of the musicians that appear with him on this 4 LP box... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you gotta check Chucho Valdez and The Afro Cuban Messengers. This is "jazz" without any qualifiers. Although they're Cuban, Blakey would have been proud of these musicians. I listened long and hard, they cook. Some of the music incorporated e... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Gloria Lynne, a forgotten vocalist, has come to my attention recently; she had a very seductive voice and "I Wish You Love" was probably her biggest hit. "June Night" is another one you want included in any compilation.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados onhwy61, many times we've made a wrong turn after embarking on a journey. One glance at the map tells us to correct and move on. So it is with this journey, now that we have corrected, I hope you join us, and share the music in your jazz collection. |
