| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Foster, I could not have said it better in regard to Jean Luc Ponty, he is well represented in my collection.Albert, I never heard that Miles before. I like it. Miles was one of the most outstanding musical genius to come along; even when he made ... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz We "Miles Davis jazz fans", had an unwritten contract with Miles. We faithfully purchased every "jazz" album he came out with. "On The Corner" broke that contract, it was not "jazz" as we had come to expect from Miles. "Goners" will never be able ... | |
| Thoughts on current EL-34 tubes You did the right thing. I have Tungsol EL-34 and I am quite satisfied. | |
| solid state vs tubes--with a twist The power supply that turns AC into DC is a problem component. AC is problematic period. When I listen to "euphonic" music that's into subtle nuance, the noise floor on amps other than the N.E.W. let me know it was there. That's what was most impr... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Since most Goners aren't hip to WCJ, I thought I would provide a few more examples. Linda Lawson really captures the spirit of those times in El-A, enjoy.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkebaZbNEiU&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Duanegoosen, I can still remember the stylus settling into the groove of "On The Corner". I said "What tha!" It was so different from anything I expected from Miles, that I was in a state of shock. I took it back and demanded a refund. (Miles in ... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Shadorne, me and George go way back; I have many fond memories associated with his music.Neal Hefti, that's a name I've been hearing forever. I didn't know I was a Neal Hefti fan until now. All of those movie scores and TV theme songs makes just a... | |
| solid state vs tubes--with a twist I remember the N.E.W., it was quite impressive; and it's the only SS amp that even came close to tubes. I'll buy one if it pops up. | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Fusion is merging two separate elements into a union. "When you fuse jazz and bluegrass, you get crabgrass because bluegrass don't like jazz".Herbie Hancock and Weather Report impressed me with their albums of "Sextant" by Herbie and "I Sing the B... | |

| Have you treated your listening space? Rug cores, are the poor audiophile's room treatment. Those tall hollow cylinders that are in the center of rugs work very well, even better than some corner bass traps that you pay good money for; they stopped the "booming" in my room. You simply ... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Now that you know the names of the players, you can mine the WCJ genre on your own. These are my last recommendations in hard bop before we go to "fusion". Ike Quebec, "Heavy Soul" "The Cannonball Adderly Quintet in San Francisco" Charles Mingus, ... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz The music always sounds better when you can actually see it being made, and they showed us every aspect of the reproduction; outstanding! |
