| Jazz for aficionados "electrolytic capacitors go downhill in such a way that you don’t realize it until the quality of audio is really bad."Very true o10. But that condition applies to several parts of an audio system; vacuum tubes weaken as they age (and sometimes ge... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, a word of caution with your Yamaha. I’m not an EE or a tech, but electrolytic caps go bad with age. There is no universal life expectancy I’m aware of, some say 10 years, others say 15. The point is they will leak or fail at some point. If yo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, I was quite surprised to read this from you: "Here’s Miles Davis sounding like Cannonball wants him to sound".With your deep experience with jazz personalities do you really feel Miles’ ego by the late ’50s would allow him to play as someone ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, " they know full well that if you don't have a big buck high end rig, CD's sound better."Well, that's one opinion. I don't happen to agree. If you have some basic mechanical knowledge you could buy an AR-XA table and arm for example for may... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, I've read the same account of the tiff between Miles and Monk as o10 related, but no idea of where I read it or how long ago. Anyway, your reasoning about Silver makes sense.Now even though I have that disk, I've not listened to it for some... | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman, good choice (so to speak). ;^)I was well into adulthood before I gained any appreciation for C&W. The exception were the outlaws, led by Willie Nelson.But I happened to agree to attend a George Jones concert with a friend who was a fan... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, you mentioned a post by acman3 with "I Only Have Eyes For You" by Bowie. Can you (or anyone else) direct me to that? I looked back several pages but didn't find it.A few pages ago o10 posted the original doo-wop vocal version. After that I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados schubert, forgetting is easier said than done. I was only there from the safety of distance in intelligence photos. So I admit I can't truly imagine what the experience must have been.Now I would hope you can find peace through the escape in mus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As usual, playing catch-up again. My excuse this time, I was traveling.O10, "I Only Have Eyes For You" remains one of my favorites from back in HS (the original). Not that long ago I heard Lester Bowie's version which knocked me out. Unfortunat... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Interesting blending of classical and jazz, but not third stream.I heard this years ago live with Almeida and local bassist Bob Magnusson which I preferred to this version, but can’t find a link to a recording of that one. So - https://www.youtube... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Some consider Lage a jazz guitarist. Agree or not?https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=63&v=kmnAOu124g4&feature=emb_logo | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, a friend who has some Native American blood told me the typical movie Indian drum beat -- BOOM, boom, boom, boom was strictly Hollywood. The traditional beat represents a human heart beat. | |
| What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear Years, actually decades, ago J Gordon Holt (if you don't know who he was then never mind) commented if one's record collection was worth more than their components then they were a music lover; if the components were worth more then they were an a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks acman. I continue to be surprised by then number of "hot jazz" or "gypsy jazz" groups formed over the past 20 years or so. There was a long lull after Django's death but the Hot Club of France now seems to be well known and appreciated.My... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary_jo, I hope you are reading this and still with us.What you said is so true about jazz: "what I have previously said - make your own work, be original. "But speaking of movies, let me recommend this. It certainly is original, and I truly enj... |
