| Jazz for aficionados I was not aware @alexatpos that you switched over to SS gear until now. The "warmth" and "organic" adjectives are two of the most common "audio reproductive descriptions" used by tube gear lovers. These descriptions imply that the audio reproducti... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well @alexatpos what can I possibly add to that? I knew you prefer 2 channel stereo or mono when listening to music and also you prefer vinyl/analog over digital but did not know you are not a fan of home theater. I love my digital set up and ha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos I have a Bluray of Dianna Krall Live in Rio. When I’m in the right mood I watch it, maybe once or twice a year since I purchased it. My favorite Female vocalist is Sade Adu. I have all of her releases of live concerts either on DVD or ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @mary_jo Hello Marija welcome back and Happy New Year!! I wish you all the best and much happiness in 2024! I have to say your first post in many many months (a year?) is a really great song by a great band (I had the privilege of seeing this exa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Johnny Griffin on fire at the Village Vanguard! Around 1 minute in Grif plays a blistering solo that sounds like 16 notes per second!! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Happy New Year! @acman3 Great "Lockjaw" selections. I like that live rendition of I'll Remember April a lot. Really swings. And Lock and Johnny Griffin always sound great in all of their "tenor battle" recordings. Them 2 went together like peanut... | |
| Jazz for aficionados And here is a favorite tenor of mine who's tone always sounds "edgy" or "gruff" but I really like a lot of Willis Jackson's recording sessions especially all of the sessions with a very young Pat Martino on the guitar. Pat's solo starts at 4:40 an... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @wharfy That Viscounts rendition of Harlem Nocturn is new to me. Definitely a "gritty tone" on the sax. This is my "go to" rendition of the same tune. But then again I am mesmerized by almost anything Illinois Jacquet blows and the brief but mes... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @wharfy I am big fan of Joey DeFrancesco as are a few others here. I believe there was a discussion about JD a few months ago. I never got a chance to see JD before he passed on last year and this is a regret. I have a copy of that Christian M... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In 1994, Hammond B3 master, The late Dr. Lonnie Smith, of whom I had the privilege of seeing live 10 plus times before he passed on 2 years ago, released 2 albums in 1994 comprised of studio improvisations on popular Jimi Hendrix songs. The album... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Thanks for posting Joanne Brackeen. I have to admit, I had never heard of her. JFA is my "guide to jazz" Found this and listened to the entire album. Brackeen is a great pianist, and, as @acman3 said, when you add great backing personnel,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks @alexatpos for the Roy Ayers clip. Great vibes player and its too bad he went over to the "dark side" for good by the late 60s but the path he took was his chosen one and he was very successful. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister I’m Listening to Jackie McLean right now. The album is "Jackies Bag" and Blue Mitchell has some very tasty trumpet solos on the song list. (tracks 4 - 9 as Donald Byrd, another great trumpet player, plays on tracks 1 - 3)Here is a cou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I’ve never thought about making a list of favorite trumpet players, but if I did, Blue Mitchell would definitely be on that list. If I made a list of my favorite trumpet players, Blue Mitchell would be on my list as well. |
