| Jazz for aficionados Without a doubt, "The Colpix Years" are the best, that music is timeless; it sounds just as fresh today as when she recorded it. This is like returning to an old gold mine that everyone had given up on, and said "There's no more gold in that mine"... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Before anything gets misinterpreted, that wasn't addressed to anyone personally, but to us all generally. What we have to say about history, is moot compared to what "the moving finger" had to say. Whatever it was, nothing can change what the movi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: all thy Piety or Wit Shall not lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor will all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.The moving finger done wrote, and nothing will change that. Let's get back t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you are most certainly correct in regard to the movie. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I like the way this conversation has touched on a controversial subject. Music is life and life is real. Now we can get back to real music, and let the music speak for itself, in regard to "all subjects" without highlighting any other subjects sep... | |
| That Audiophile Thing Theoretically, the 300B is the best, that's why I have to try it. When someone tells me that I have to try something in order to find out whether or not it works, but can't provide any kind of theory in regard to why it works, as far as I'm concer... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Chazro, with the exception of Paquito, whose more into jazz, the other Cuban musicians play very beautiful Cuban music. They have followed a historic lineage, and they've done it very well. That's not to say they're imitating the past, but improvi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, we're discovering the same thing at the same time, and it's so absurd. Everything with an African origin is changed to something else. If you recall the soundtracks to old movies with a Brazilian or Mexican settings, that was "Afro Cuban musi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Cuban music is the greatest Latin American music of all. For many years I've been into Brazilian music, and now I realize Cuba influenced Brazil and all the rest of the Latin American musicians. After listening to this CD of Cuban music, my memory... | |
| That Audiophile Thing It's for certain I won't have a 300B in the listening room. Do you think they're too hot for the bedroom? I can stand as much heat as a tube pre, but not a tube amp. I'm seriously considering a 300B in the bedroom, that's where I'm sure the low po... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I must compliment you on your knowledge of Cuban music. I have some Afro Cuban music that's classified under the different styles. Amor Verdadero, guajira-son; Alto Songo, son montuno; Habana Del Este, danzonete-cha; A Toda Cuba Le Gusta,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Foster_9, I compared two versions of "Senor Blues", one on CD from the 56 LP "Six Pieces of Silver" and the "You tube" you're speaking of. While some of the musicians are different, there is only one "gigantic" difference, and that is Horace's sol... | |
| That Audiophile Thing Since your answers are much more interesting going with my original thread, forget about the two restricting comments I made. Maybe this "geezer" can get motivation to do new things. | |
| Jazz for aficionados There is a specific reason why I haven't gone into records as opposed to CD's. In my opinion, halfway is a waste of money, and all the way is very expensive. "All the way" according to me, is a class "B" rig as rated by Stereophile including a Cla... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, as good as that version of "Senior Blues" is, it's not the one Foster is referring to. If this can be acquired, I'll get it. |
