| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister You are most welcome! BTW, Tabackin is no slouch, either! I dislike most Jazz flute playing but his, with its distinctive "oriental" flavor, I find very enjoyable. A sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfyT25pJmOU | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @simonmoon Let me add, that none of my choices were made due to sound quality, or audiophile cred. They were all chosen for performance and musical content. Bravo! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Yes; I mentioned the Mosaic 3 CD set. Did you buy it? last I checked, most of their recordings were out of print or only available as expensive Japanese’s imports. Here’s their discogs page: https://www.discogs.com/artist/257337-Tos... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? I've only encountered the term "presence" in the context of guitar amps. Don't know if this applies but here is a definition from the Fender website: ...the "presence" control... controls “presence", which boosts upper-mid and treble frequenc... | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? @bigtwin Maybe dumb question but do you mean "on" as in ready to operate or in "stand by" mode? I ask because I typically leave my H390 in stand by mode. If this not recommended, I’d like to know. | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @thr1961 Ah. OK -- I'm strictly CDs. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim You could have warned me that the Penguins guide was over 1600 pages long! I haven’t read a book that big since collage! Hah! I’ll confess that never occurred to me! ;o) I hope "going back to school" will be fun for you! @mahgis... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @thr1961 "Waltz for Debbie" is an old favorite of mine, as well. The Craft release is vinyl? Not sure why but I've never developed a taste for Coltrane's playing with Miles. I much prefer the next Miles quintet, either with George Coleman or W... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @oldrooney Perhaps they are already dialed in... or you need to play with them, more... ;o) In my case, I played around with them a lot before the "eureka" moment. In fact, I became rather doubtful along the way that it could actually make much... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @thastum Hi i think a couple are missing Ben Webster Live at the Renaisance Red Norvo Quintet The foreward look, this was Keith Johnsons first recording Many more than a couple -- inevitably so, given that Jazz is such a diverse genre with ... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @tom2441 The Art Blakey Quintet “A Night At Birdland” Vol. 1 and 2 Classic lineup, classic venue Classics, indeed! | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @nicotico I don’t know if anyone responded to your comment “I haven't heard any live Harrell recordings. Have you?” ….Tom has a “Live At The Village Vanguard” recording which is very good. Also, there is a DVD release of Horace Silver’s band p... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? I would say depending on the budget preferably a speaker you can try before you buy, has good reviews, and is not fussy about room placement. Make sure to choose a size that is suitable for your room size and will likely have synergy with your am... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @linnvolk I was fortunate enough to see T. A. / L. T. Big Band live in the mid 70’s. Wow! I really enjoy Lew Tabackin’s recordings as a leader, too. @coltrane1 My only exposure so far to Ulf Wakenius has been his terrific playing on the kill... | |
