| TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS The SP-20 chakster referred to many not have been sold in the US. At least I've never seen one, only references online. The Special Products or SP series sold here were the 25, 15, and 10. The original SP-10 had built-in power supply and on/off... | |
| Thad Jones mitch, don’t feel bad. I’ve been a jazz fan for more than 50 years and thanks to the "Jazz for aficionados" post here I’m still discovering musicians I never heard of, including some from many years ago. But yes, as a big Monk fan I’ve owned "5 X ... | |
| TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS I'm sorry vinny but statements like this discourage any further comment, "Half The money id spend on a lenco would blow away any technics table ever made."From your questions you obviously don't have experience with all the options for "any techni... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, frog's reference covered it better, but here is another substantiation. See the second paragraph - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_RodneyI remembered it from something shown on PBS maybe a dozen years ago. At least my memory didn't fail m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, thanks for that confirmation. This is from the only album I have by Rodney and Sullivan.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLEhuIIVTdY | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, I read that too quickly and thought you suggested Red Rodney. ;^)There's a story that when he toured Southern states with Charlie Parker he was called Albino Red to get around local laws for segregation. Not sure if that's true but it sounds... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, just goes to show once again it doesn't matter about sex, color, or religion, it's more about what's inside!acman, that was new to me but I enjoy everything I hear with Mulligan.Thanks to all for lots of recent posts with rare/unknown music, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, from that last post I also found this delightful trumpet player. Guess I'm guilty of not thinking of women playing trumpet after high school band. So my bad for that. Anyway, with a testosterone-less orchestra, ;^) -https://www.youtube.co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Reports on the death of jazz may be greatly exaggerated.Last evening I attended a concert I'd looked forward to for a couple of months since learning about it. Our symphony orchestra promotes a sub-set of concerts featuring jazz. I'm not sure ho... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks nsp, nice stuff. On the site with MJQ and Almeida I found another link to a jazz Concerto de Aranjuez which I also enjoyed -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8guBy3g-v4Also to you and frog, I must admit to not knowing Montoliu. Now how app... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, I really enjoy "Timeless". However I only listen to it late at night with the lights out and a wee dram in my hand. ;^)I've recommended that album to several friends but most don't "get it". Oh well, strokes and folks. Maybe if I furnished... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, thanks for your contributions (as always).I think you touched on an important point when you mentioned the new wave of audiophile reissues, with "Waltz For Debby" as a good example. The availability of those as LPs, CDs, downloads, whatever... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, possibly I didn’t make myself clear in asking for others to post favorite alternatives to the commonly recommended albums. "I’m kind of slow in the head about precisely where you’re coming from, but I’ll try. "Moods" by The Three Sounds is th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since I'm like Lou Costello and have no idea "Who's On First" regarding origins of bebop I'll pose another question. Hopefully it will have general interest plus may be helpful to budding aficionados.Many well known jazz artists have one particul... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I can't add anything to the discussion of the earliest bebop recording, but I have I believe a related question I'll tag on here.I'm also a bit of a movie buff so when Robert Altman's "Kansas City" was released I saw it. The setting was the 1930s... |
