| Jazz for aficionados Charles1dad:I was just about to post with the same point as you wrote about in your last post. There seems to be an AGENDA going on here to make all Jazz players equal. IOW, just as you pointed out in your post. Miles played Jazz trumpet, so did ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I listened to 'Charlie Parker with Strings: The Master Takes' Bird was in fine form. Good experience overall. The sound quality of the recording was much better than most Bird recordings. I didn't see the need for the strings, and I think they too... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Charlie Parker has / had too much influence on Jazz. Surely you, O-10 & Frogman, Jest!!!(1) Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and Mozart had / have too much influence on European Classical Music.(2) Sir Issac Newton had too much influence on Mathematics... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman:We have no disagreement. I was just trying to show the influence of the public in our perception of 'the best'. I did not mean to imply that you thought mariano was the best. just a favorite. And I understand the mastery of the instrument ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "I would go with "Sonny", the masses would say "Kenny".Not, the JAZZ Masses!! hahahahahahaCheersSonny is a great choice. | |
| Another audio dealer closes his shop 'High-End' means obscene prices. Period! That's all folks! 'Entry-Level' is just not so obscene. Just run of the mill outrageous.Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados "If the masses don't get it, it's bad"Actually, that's not far from the truth. The masses decide most things. They decide what music is available for purchase. What cars we can buy etc.... Lets just pose a theoretical situation. Who is the best J... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Bill Parcells, the great NY Giants and Dallas Cowboys pro football coach, once said: You Are, What Your Record Says You Are. Same in Music. If no one has heard of you, there is a reason why.Cheers | |

| Cables more hype than value? What would we do without Nonoise and his rapier wit! One day he might even answer a question!Cheers | |
| Cables more hype than value? I, like some here, just like the banter. It's amusing to see how far a person will go to make an illogical argument.However at the end of the day, the 10,000 pound gorilla stills sits in the middle of the room!THE MILLION DOLLAR PRIZE!! Just demos... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD http://www.amazon.com/Beethoven-9-Symphonies-Luba-Orgonasova/dp/B0000057EOI own this set. This one has 6 discs. The sixth disc is an interview with Gardiner. I don't think that would account for the price increase. He wasn't that profound! I think... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Taken from Amazon."The wire is thin and stretched tight between two poles. On one end is everything known – the safe sounds, the expected chords resolving in expected ways. On the far end is something more elusive – the magic realm where jazz beco... | |
| Another audio dealer closes his shop Who needs them? High-end audio stores can only survive IF, their customers are CONSTANTLY buying and selling. Other than that, the customer base is not large enough. We on this site, might be kool-aid drinkers, but the general public is not.And la... |
