| Stuff You Tried To Love Interesting short Bio of Ostad Elahi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jaw7eWzgWr0 This video explains that Elahi designed an instrument with two strings that are deliberately not quite in tune. I noticed this effect as soon as I began listening ... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @mdalton With all due respect, I don’t see the purpose of this exercise. You could’ve just as easily suggested any one of 100’s of other Jazz recordings and my response would be the same: I recognize the talent and artistic merit but feel more ... | |
| Integrated amp: Component weight @cundare2 Harbeth shows with Hegel and vice versa, for whatever that’s worth. The H390 weighs 44 lbs. FYI, I have back issues, too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 OK... so I wasn't imagining it! ;o) | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @sokogear I would classify "Kind of Blue" as Modal, rather than Post Bop. Yes, I own it but it's been years since I've listened to it with any regularity. I was introduced to it in 1976, at a point when I was first getting into Jazz by listenin... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @sokogear I don't know what Progressive Jazz is. My favorite sub-genre is, without question, Post-Bop: A genre of small-combo jazz that assimilates hard bop, modal jazz, avant-garde and free jazz without necessarily being immediately identifi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought Haden also performed with E. Gismonti during that same festival. OK. I found this: https://ecmrecords.com/product/in-montreal-charlie-haden-egberto-gismonti/ Maybe it was a different gig? | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @sokogear If you don’t like Miles you don’t like jazz, and that’s OK. Jazz comprises more than 50% of my listening and at times has comprised a much greater proportion since I first began exploring it in the mid 70’s. There are numerous Jazz ... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @mahgister Sometimes it is not the opinion the problem... Sometimes it is the way the opinion is phrased as an ultimatum... So true! Not such a big deal re: audio but when it comes to politics... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @artemus_5 I know one must be a jazz or female vocals guy in order to have an affirmed audiophile card but those genres just don’t move me. Don’t pay attention to anyone who tells you what you are or are not based upon their subjective tastes... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I did 't mean to imply PM is essentially commercial. His recordings do cover a wiide spectrum. | |
| I found my new reference album Personally, I preferred her work with Birds of Chicago but each to his/her own. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Having encountered some of his stuff that sounded a bit too commercial for my tastes early on caused me to give up on him but given his large discography, there must be other more straight-ahead recordings I might enjoy. | |
| AC cords for Hegel H390 that do not color sound? @audphile1 I think another way of looking at it is what power cord would do the least amount of harm as far as sonic character of the amp is concerned and the overall synergy as well. Yes -- this is exactly what I meant to convey but you stat... |
