| Jazz for aficionados o10, I don’t agree that black and white films were necessarily forgettable. The list of great ones is long, beginning with one which many consider the best movie of all time -- "Citizen Kane". But I’m a movie buff as well as jazz aficionado.Back t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, this is what I think of for "cheesecake", those dancers just didn't do it -http://www.thepinupfiles.com/vargas1.htmlNow for West Coast jazz, here is one of the classics -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm-jwUixCaQInteresting that Baker remain... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of wading in with current US politics, that Monty group has it down cold!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDB5gbtaEQI'll make that my only non-jazz comment.PS mary-jo, loved that one. ;^) | |
| Playing mono records properly without breaking the bank - a phono pre-amp question. hrabieh, optimizing mono playback can become complex, but basic enjoyment doesn't need to be. Yes, there can be considerations for when the record was issued, groove width, even EQ. But I believe the first consideration is which mono records wil... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, re: West Coast JazzAbout the time I developed a real appreciation for jazz (end of '50s, early '60s) there was an on-going debate about the merits of East vs West Coast Jazz. Unlike the military discussions here I was neutral and found enjoy... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Regarding Hamilton, his only album I have is "Passin' Thru" so I'm not an expert. But much of what I've heard verges on what Gunther Schuller labeled Third Stream Jazz.Check out two segments here, a brief one of rehearsal at 13:00 and a performan... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As usual I skip a few days and you folks move on so quickly.rok, the first couple of times I saw the cover for "Way Out West" I failed to look closely and didn't realize Rollins was wearing a suit in the photo. Good catch on the empty holster. A... | |
| Jazz for aficionados schubert, many years ago I helped friends select and install a new CD player in their system. They were both opera buffs and I wanted to pick up something for them to hear with their new player. At Tower (I said this was years ago) I found "Oper... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Interesting, similarly to "So What", "If I Were A Bell" was also played at a faster tempo than I remember hearing it. So was that just an obvious way that Miles never wanted to play anything the same way twice, or were they in a hurry to get thro... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's a hot horn section. But please, disregard those suits!For those who know the music, it gives more appreciation to the original to hear all five are needed to replicate the one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cst9lV5PPgIf you think this is... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Going back to pjw's clips with Red Rodney interviews, did you know when he toured the south with Parker's band he was called Albino Red? That was a role reversal so he could get into the restaurants and hotels with the band when it was still more... | |
| Seeking input on Larsen speakers sfmorris, have you ever heard of Sonab speakers? They were designed by Stig Carlsson in Sweden. They are no longer produced but here is a website with lots of information, including design objectives.https://www.carlssonplanet.com/en/speakers/prod... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, I'm well aware nearly all the recent discussion has been on "Round Midnight" or adding lyrics to a jazz tune in general.So I was reacting to your statement, "That is the most unforgettable picture and music I can think of; it was when Miles w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o-10, I'm a little surprised by your "rigid" response. Jazz is suppose to be a fluid expression and I assume that means the listener as well as the performer."Miles was Miles". Absolutely! Miles was always Miles, his own man, from everything I'v... | |
| Jazz for aficionados There is hope for the future of jazz.I attended a jazz band concert at a small, private Great Lakes area college last evening. I came away with two positive impressions.First, there was real musical talent in the 19 member band. All but one were... |
