| Dunlavy SCIVA'S... Mine sound bland rob, the first obvious question - how long have you owned the DALs? Have they sounded this way from the beginning? Were they better originally but now sound worse?Dunlavy designs are not to everyone's taste, what is? But they were all (Duntech ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados To resume the short series of jokes involving jazz musicians, I just thought of this one, one of my favorites.It was from a comic strip panel of a Viking war ship. The leader announces to the rowers, "I have good news and bad news.""The good news... | |
| Jazz for aficionados To continue with a bit of silliness regarding John, here’s one from my early recollections as a music lover. ;^)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8WdGneKY5g | |
| If attending Capital Audiofest 2018, can you provide your review of the Ohm F-5015s Lance, by radial do you mean omni-directional?As I understand it, the Ohms are not true omnis, in spite of their inverted cone driver. That is because they utilize dampers for controlled radiation.I may have interest in one of the smaller Ohm mod... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's another Ellington recording with less than his usual orchestra. It just happens to include a guy named Armstrong!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXheyeQZTgY | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, and others,This was not specifically Lester Young but he served as one of the inspirations for the story. All together, I thought it was one of the better films made about jazz.https://www.amazon.com/Round-Midnight-Dexter-Gordon/dp/B000053V7... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks frog, obviously I’ve not kept up to date. I just checked them out on YT and see they have several recordings.Oh well, they've only been around for 27 years! ;^) | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary jo, thank you for that link. I've heard several versions of Pork Pie Hat, by Mingus and others, but was completely unfamiliar with that one. In fact I'd not heard of the Essential Mingus Big Band. I have two tribute albums by Mingus Dynast... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mj, I’ve been a fan of Mingus for many years. He was very prolific and released a number of significant albums. Perhaps the easiest to find will be those released by Columbia, which certainly included a lot of great music. But here is one of my fa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary jo, " The life that one leads, this leaves certain taste in my mouth, meaning I grow some thoughts about it in the process."In general I agree. However with some musicians that can be a challenge -- Mingus for example. To me his music was h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, I've been away for a couple of weeks, so much was posted here I could comment on. Even if I concentrated on the music and ignored the personal challenges. ;^)But that would take too long, in addition to being old news now. So I'll limit it... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I believe I saw Miles more often than anyone else. In addition to a couple of times at the Minor Key (quartet/sextet), also both the Detroit and Saugatuck Jazz Festivals, in Hawaii at Punch Bowl in the mid-'60s, and lastly in San Diego in the mid... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Funny, all this discussion about favorite live recordings made me think of the most memorable concerts I’ve attended.While jazz is my preferred music, and I’ve attended many concerts and festivals (I’m pretty old!), not many near the top of my per... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, you are not separate from me, I never trashed my rock or blues records either.As I’ve related here previously, my early musical influences were the ’30s and ’40s jazz played frequently at home by my dad. Then I became a teenager about the tim... |
