| Joule Electra preamp and Aragon 4004 mkII Interesting about the SCA-35 since I have high regard for both Ralph and Rich.My first stereo included Dynakits which I built, although not the SCA-35. Still, due to nostalgia I read comments on the old Dyna gear from time to time. From that, th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Luiz, interesting that a direct to disc master was reissued with a Japanese pressing. I don't pretend to have expertise with that but I'm surprised if a) WB was willing to let a D2D master out of their immediate control, and b) that a D2D master ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not to step away from Rollins, who I admire for both his musical talent and intellect, but I just stumbled across this nearly 30-year-old 60 Minutes interview with Miles. "I never suffered, and I can still play the blues."https://www.youtube.com/... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lots to be thankful for today, including the wonderful heritage of jazz as it has progressed from its creation in America in the early 1900s.I'll add my welcome to luizfcoimbra. Your country has made some nice additions to the lexicon.I was going... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, Ry has such a variety in his recordings I think it is impossible to make an absolute recommendation -- it may all depend on what sort of listening mood you're in at the time. I will say I've only heard one of his which I didn't enjoy, "Bop T... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Regarding the "Hudson" track. Those who read Stereophile will know the album was recently selected as their recording of the month. When I first began listening I thought, OK, heavy bass line to propel it forward but nothing really grabbed me. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It may not have been jazz -- but this video shows the improvisation and interplay among the musicians of a very creative group from the early '70s. I may have mentioned it before but I saw them in concert around this time. It was in a small club... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, I guess I just proved it is foolish to offer comments on music I’ve not heard. :^(As I admitted, I hadn’t watched the film so could only guess about the specific music beyond the first two minutes or so. However I based my input on what I’d ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As mentioned, the Monk/Blakey & Jazz Messengers tracks were never released on a album. So even while I'd choose that, it is apparently a wasted pick. :^( | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, that was clear, until it was not.You suggest "the names of the tunes were changed." From my listening, o10's initial post was not Monk, and those tunes were not the same as listed for his recording date in the bio I referenced.I didn't watc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, thanks for filling in the blanks here. This makes me wonder how the Jordan album could be released claiming to be the soundtrack?Oh well, C'est la vie. | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, that soundtrack is a bit confusing. The link you provided doesn't include Monk or any of his songs. In the bio, "Thelonious Monk, The Life and Times of an American Original" there is discussion about Monk avoiding signing the contract for t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados jafant, I’m not suggesting you should buy it from Amazon, but here is a link to the disc I have, it should give whatever you need to find a copy -https://www.amazon.com/Great-Summit-Master-Takes/dp/B00005614N/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, if this helps you find it, my CD of Satch and Duke is a double album, as was done with many CD reissues. It includes "The Great Summit" and "The Master Takes", both recorded over two day's sessions. Mine is a Roulette Jazz label and remaste... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, we have a coupe of musical street fairs each year in an older neighborhood in town. Several years ago, about the time of the release of the movie "Frida", one of the performers on one of several stages was Lila Downs. In spite of a micropho... |
