| Getting into tubes jzmm88, I’ve owned Joule-Electra as well as several other major brand tubed components over the years. It was not my experience that Joules required more maintenance than the others. I didn’t suggest them because you specified interest in an integ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, would that have been in or near Oxford? I had a good friend who was on the faculty of Ol' Miss there for several years and I visited once. I liked the town. I thought it was one of the best in the South.But I can't imagine how you would ha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados And now back to our regularly scheduled programming -- the music itself.This is offered to all those who ask about Afro-Cuban, the Buena Vista Social Club, Santana, hispanic jazz, or drumming. Just see what five percussionists and one bass player... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, I hope you don’t read this as my joining frogman and "piling on". As you’ve noted more than once, you and I share many musical tastes and appreciations.For all that, I think you look at classical performances in too much of a constricted view... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Improvisation -- for me that can be expressed several ways.The classical pianist may read the notes on the score for a Beethoven sonata and play every one of them without error. Still, their rendition will not likely sound like another pianist. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry folks, I relied on my memory which failed me again. I intended to reference Freddie Green as Basie's rhythm guitarist, not Grant Green. Just a steady foundation to each tune.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVwB7_CS6rkfrog, I have that Rich... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, you're on a run. For my taste at least. ;^)While I listened to a lot of folk music in high school, it was not until 20-30 years ago that I learned how much I enjoyed bluegrass/string band music. Your "Bluegrass Breakdown" sure had some hot ... | |
| Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II last, I recently watched Peter's video from the RMAF 2017. One comment explained why the Fozgometer is not appropriate for azimuth adjustments with his styli. That seems more related to balance and separation than sibilance but it is one reason ... | |
| Getting into tubes jzzmn88, I was friends with Jud Barber of Joule-Electra (we are no longer in touch) and attended the CES multiple years. Jud and Bobby greatly respected one another and demoed their gear together. The point of that was that Bobby chose tube elec... | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman3, that was totally new to me. That is interesting since I've commented a couple of times on connections I found between Baroque/Bach and jazz.Now to clarify my position since I commented on likes and dislikes by identifying musical categori... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well frog, is this famous Miles' number classical or jazz or Third Stream?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvcU_v8ruGECurious minds want to know. ;^)And yes, I'd heard of Eddie Daniels, possibly even heard one of his recordings on my local FM jazz ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, you may have later seen this, but in case not -In 1961, Schuller defined Third Stream as "a new genre of music located about halfway between jazz and classical music". Schuller insisted that "by definition there is no such thing as 'Third St... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, I have that album among my somewhat large Monk library and play it fairly often. I always thought Overton did a great job transcribing Monk's music for the larger group.I knew the recording time on a single LP would not likely include the fu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A little more on the jazz/classical mix.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wo_5D-Bg44But I believe I read somewhere that Gunther Schuller, credited with originating the term "third stream", intended it to represent a stand-alone musical category. H... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, your comment suggests I share a little personal musical history - "If the listener doesn’t like Classical, Baroque music in particular, chances are he won’t like it."As mentioned previously, I grew up in a house with a fair bit of recorded m... |
