| Jazz for aficionados o10, so glad to see you back again. Stick around this time! ;^)rok, I have Vol.1 of Monk's London Collection. Mine is the original Black Lion release and that has four pages of liner notes (CD sized) discussing background and comments on the sel... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, I tried to correct your name in my prior reply on the Scorpio pressings but I see "spell correct" did me in again.Anyway, if you're willing to check them out I thought I should save you some time by identifying the three specific albums in qu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, no doubt frogman can give a more complete answer. But I'll share a recent experience.Friday evening I attended a concert by The Academy of Saint Martin In The Fields (a top level chamber orchestra for those who don't listen to classical musi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados OK, if any of you are feeling adventuresome, here is a challenge.This should capture the all-time award for the most unusual jazz instrument recording. Only problem is I couldn't find any. So find one of these, practice up, make your own recordi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, all great stuff.I only have one of the Monk London discs. Super solos.And your Saturday night took me back to high school. ;^) | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, yes, I assume it appears there. I don’t happen to own any Scorpios, unless these three unopened albums might be. But I think Scorpio did inexpensive reissues and as I said, there were only about $12 each.I only remember reading several warnin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Bowie’s "I Only Have Eyes For You" just grabs me, but maybe because I’m old enough to be nostalgic about the time when it was released as a pop vocal?frog, you should have said that in your best Foghorn Leghorn accent! ;^)nap, thanks for replying.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog and nsp, thanks for suggesting "Out To Lunch", but a short story on that.A few years ago I bought a new copy of that LP, along with two others (Rollins and Griffin) on Blue Note at a local dealer. I'd read where that Dolphy album was recomme... | |
| What do you know about the JENSZEN Z-600 speakers and cross-overs I assume you meant Janszen Z-600. If so, the company is again in business and David Janszen is familiar with all of his father's designs. I'd suggest contacting him with your questions. | |
| Jazz for aficionados All this bass clarinet info has been enlightening. Yes, taste is personal but I do see its place in jazz. In many examples I'm drawn in by the rich tonalities, similar to but not the same as the bari sax.I had no idea so much was available, so t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not to divert too much but this was the first version of "Old Folks" I heard as this album was an early jazz purchase for me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLUP9-126nkI too enjoy the sounds of the bass clarinet. But I never found many recordings... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ghost, "Diva" is one of my favorite sleeper movies. Not many people know about it I don't believe. I was lucky to find the soundtrack on vinyl.frog, as I've mentioned, while I appreciate Ella's talents, she is not a top favorite female vocalist ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? This recent discussion reminds me of the "Princess and the Pea"* fairy tale. But then that applies to many aspects of our high end audio hobby.No doubt the new Technics SP10R is an upgrade from the older SP-10 Mk 3, and more so from earlier model... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A personal perspective on Ella. She offered many elements of greatness, no quibble about that. But I never cared for one of her best known attributes -- her scat singing. To be fair, scatting is something I can do without in general, few singer... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wow, that Sarah and Ella comparison was certainly interesting. I got a real "smokey" vs clarity reaction, even on my iMac built-in speakers.But apparently the irony was that Sarah died of lung cancer.And yes, I certainly hope that o10 is simply r... |
