| Jazz for aficionados o10, it sounds like the Pinkertons called in the Swingle Singers! ;^) | |
| Jazz for aficionados To paraphrase an old expression, opinions are like noses, everybody has one.So one of my opinions is that the word "best" should be banned from discussions of music or audio gear. To proclaim anything as best is to suggest that ALL other contende... | |
| Technics SP 15 SP 25 I've read the SP-25 is essentially a SL-1200 as a stand alone motor unit, that is no included plinth or arm. If so, that suggests parts are more readily available. It also suggests it is a step lower in performance than the SP-15.I expect either... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, I note no one yet replied to your question on Monk. I don't have that album, I was just searching YT for another solo recording.Anyway, I assume take 1 was numbered thus because it was recorded first. It seemed to me that Monk lost the bea... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I never heard of Tuba Skinny but when I saw this along side one of acman's links I had to check them out. What fun to find these youngsters having such fun with music that predates them by several generations.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTain... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's an interesting pairing -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XzFfjjHr80 | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman, that "Basie's Blues" was a great example that he could play fast, yet still seem so relaxed while doing it.That tribute to Buddy Guy amazed me. Hope this is not narrow thinking but I associate the blues with a smaller setting where the per... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog -I could offer lots of other comments but I want to get in Miles’ "Elevator to the Scaffold", soundtrack recording to the French film. | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, your link to Coltrane/Byrds didn't work.I remember a McGuinn interview on some PBS program where he talked about the influence of Coltrane but I couldn't find that. Here it is at least mentioned in the notes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, great stuff, particularly "Django's Tiger". The only problem for a comparison was he utilized too many fingers to fret! ;^) | |
| Jazz for aficionados The "My brother" reference was a quote from Django after hearing Satchmo's music. That sounded pretty substantial to me about his preferences. Is there another quote where he suggests admiration for or influence from Reese?This is not the first ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados inna and o10, I've had a similar experience with a genetic memory. Long time readers of Stereophile may remember when Sam Tellig promoted his tours of Russia. I was part of his last one in the fall of 1991. Part of the tour included a couple of... | |
| Mounting a Triplanar or similar on an SP10 Yes, it is that square framework for the SP-10 series that causes problems, not the arm per say or the plinth. VPI arms are another problem where even their 10" version is an awkward fit for reasons explained by Lew. | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, I’ve been fascinated by several percussionists I’ve heard in Middle-Eastern music. The variety and nuance they can produce from one or two small drums is amazing, plus the speed and duration of a line.For your groove today this is the most ja... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, I expect you know that Monk was not given the middle name Sphere at birth, he adopted it as an adult. There was a family connection to the name Speer and he liked the idea with that name he could not be called square. ;^)That is mentioned ... |
