| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @scowler1 I saw Les in 1975. That guy was extremely charismatic -- he could really work a crowd. He took us all to church, skillfully merging so-called "sacred" and "profane" elements together so that you couldn't tell where one ended and the ot... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @simonmoon Thanks for your list ! Can you tell Post Bop is my favorite sub-genre ? ;o) The Mahavishnu O. box set contains a second disc of previously-unreleased tunes from the same gig as "Between Nothingness and Eternity". "Oregon -- 1974" i... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @alexatpos Great list! Stan Getz "Dynasty" is not one I've heard others mention often. Have you heard "Eddy Louiss Trio" on Dreyfuss? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4qr9D5Ybjs | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? @8th-note Bottom line, there is no way I’m going to restrict my audio purchases to gear that I can audition at home. I just bought a Jay’s Audio CDT3 Mk III transport that was shipped from China. There is simply nothing else on the market like ... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings Thanks for all the suggestions -- keep 'em comin' ! @curiousjim Yeah; me too. @jazzaudiophilewannabe I’ll have to check out that J. Redman. @markmoskow I wish I’d bought the Mosaic Charles Tolliver box set before it went out of print! ... | |
| New In 2023 @curiousjim I just got the new one but I won't say anything until you've compared them for yourself. I wouldn't want to introduce any added "bias" into your experiment ;o) Let us know what you hear! | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @dweller Of course, I’m familiar with it. Not Jazz, but good! | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @mahgister OK ... to embed url, select the "chain" image to the right of the emoji image at the top of the audiogon text box. A Link box will open, where you can paste the url. The url for the Trumpet Summit video: https://www.youtube.com/wa... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @mahgister No problem! My thinking, in making such a distinction, was simply that live recordings can provide a sense of being "with the musicians, in the club", as the music is unfolding, moment-to-moment. I don’t regard live recordings as inhe... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @mahgister Well, OK but given just how many live recordings Jarrett has released, odds are no-one has heard them all. ;o) There aren't as many live Miles releases (definitely not hundreds) but the "Bootleg Series" has certainly increased their... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @drbb I'm familiar with the Jarrett but will check out the other two you've mentioned. @bigtwin They also did a second, 2 CD release: "Trilogy 2". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUx4mojdKNo&list=PLWfB7VeEXCumOJNfTsXzd5FJaJ0XBQPsU... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? @hilde45 3 more: TMR, Up Scale Audio, Listen Up! | |
| New In 2023 Thanks, jafant. I'd rather talk about music than gear any day.😀 | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? @krelldog I'm pretty sure this rarely happens. Its a great idea, but I can't imagine many dealers are going to let you take expensive speakers home, unbox them, audition them,re-box them and then bring them back. They may sell them too you, and... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? @larsman I dunno - some folks, like me, wouldn’t want to deal with returning big floorstanding speakers, returns or no returns.. I get it. I just don't trust my ability to make a purchasing decision based on a showroom demo or review. But the... |
