| Best tube pre-amps under $1,000 NOS tubes from Brent J. can make a big difference. He's the only guy I get NOS tubes from. Years of dealing with him as verified his knowledge of tubes. | |
| Bass Response Too many bass traps. Two in the front corners should be sufficient. Experimentation, as Ahendler suggested will give you the answer. | |
| Why do NOS Tubes sound better than new tubes? I have absolutely no idea "why", they sound much better, but I can tell you with certainty that they also last a lot longer. That last factor, plus the sonics; justifies the higher price for me. | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Although I can think of many favorites by Carmen McRae, I'll pick three: "And I Love Him"; "Yesterdays", and "The Shadow of Your Smile". | |
| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever In addition to all of the above, Cassandra Wilson, "Blue light Til Dawn" is a good one. She is the only female vocalist in my collection, that I see before me when she sings. Not because she is the most beautiful, or has the most beautiful voice; ... | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has Grant Green. | |
| When to replace pre-amp tube? NOS tubes last much longer than new tubes. This is something else to factor in when considering cost. | |
| Female Jazz Singers...new person/new releases... I can not imagine the OP not having Diane Schuur in his collection already. I hope he corrects me if I'm wrong.Casandra Wilson is the most unique singer to come along in some time; she is what I call "authentic". She is so unmistakable, that when ... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz This is video that I could look at over and over; it reminds me of Nepal, and it has music to match.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8ri14rw32c&ob=av2e | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz John is in fine form as usual. Check this Oriental violinist, he really gets down.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyZXubnLT6g&feature=related | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Inna, "Heart of The Imagrants" displays the melancholy side of Al Di Meola; it's sad but very beautiful. The way he uses bandoneon and voices gives the music a hint of Astor Piazzola. He also incorporates many other diverse elements in this music;... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Frogman, thanks for the heads up on the bandoneon. I thought "bandoneon" was a South American name for the accordion, now I know they are two entirely different instruments. I have Al Di Meola plays Piazolla, now I'll get "Piazolla". | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Edorr, I have 5 CD's by Rabih Abou Khalil, and all the covers are as beautiful as the music. "The Astounding Eyes of Rita"is the only CD I have by Anuoar Brahem. I keep looking for a word or words to describe the photograph of "Rita", but can't qu... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Whether or not "World jazz" is jazz, I'll leave that for purists like Wynton Marsalis to debate. I know I'm enjoying all the music that's been submitted under this category, and the last phase of the music we call"jazz". I also feel that if Charle... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Albertporter, I like every detail in that video, including the shoes. That music is destined for my collection. Normally I don't like accordion, but that guy blows me away. |
