| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning alf, doing a cost comparison between a US system VS replacing your bad records assumes you will then stop buying LPs. In addition to all the reasons posted here, it sounds like you may continue shopping for records in bargain bins, so a US will s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, has my list of "killers" included that link to Leo? I don't quite see him in the same way as your favorite bari player Pepper or mine in Mulligan. ;^) | |
| Jazz for aficionados alex, my thoughts . . ."Motherless Child" was OK simply because I like the song. But the other two? Not so much.As a personal note, I don't care much for jazz with strings or chorus added. I never bought that Charlie Parker album with strings... | |
| Jazz for aficionados alex, did you ask for haunting? Check out Donald Byrd -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAzX65ChVT8 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Similar to classical music, there seems to be a fair bit of discussion on where jazz is headed. Is it fading with an aging audience? Are young people picking up on it? Are there any new musicians with something to say?Following my recent Mingus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary jo, did you begin following this site in time to see references to the Buena Vista Social Club? Ry Cooder's production of the DVD and audio recordings opened the door to some of the wonderful music of Cuba.Your "Bonga - Mona Ki Ngi Xica" lin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Again frog, thanks for your explanations.I didn't intend to suggest that Garland's specific style was like many other pianists, simply observing that many now use some combination of block cording and single note lines. And I have the "Milestones... | |
| Jazz for aficionados OK frog, educate me.I enjoyed the (new to me) example of Garland's playing. However I heard him play in that "block chord" style up until 1:17, which sounded like a typical group ensemble intro. Then I heard single note lines up to 2:50, which f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, alex, I've had that album (Elevator/Lift to the Gallows, or Jazz Track) since the early '60s. Actually make that two copies, they have different covers and slightly different liner notes. I admit I never bother with the soundtrack side (1).... | |
| Jazz for aficionados And now, for something completely different. My link to the panel discussion on Mingus included a reference to a recording of Johnny Cash with Louie Armstrong. Not only had I never heard of that, I couldn't imagine it! So I had to look it up.ht... | |
| Jazz for aficionados For those of you who enjoy the contributions (playing/arranging/writing) by Charles Mingus, I just found this local video of a panel discussion on him, presented the day before the Mingus Dynasty concert I mentioned previously. I enjoy the insight... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks o10, I am a fan of Silver and have several albums with him, as a leader and with the Jazz Messengers. But that one was new to me.rok2id, for me "'Round Midnight" is such a classic tune, perfect for jazz interpretations, that every version ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, many thanks for that sax demo. Even as a non-musician and through my iMac speakers I could hear differences.I found the Buesher to have a little more body (dimensionality, air passing through a cylindrical tube) and slightly mellower tonalit... | |
| Jazz for aficionados First, for "Night In Tunisia" my vote is cast here. It was the first version I heard then owned. Therefore it is the one I've heard most often so it is burned into my mind and thus becomes the comparison for all others. I love the energy/drive,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados alex, I've been away a couple of days visiting old friends so I'm late in responding to you. I'll just say this.I admit to being guilty of having one foot in the music appreciation door and the other in the audiophile door. That can create confl... |
