| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Lucky you! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Was this show with S. Clarke and Jean Luc Ponty ? | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 To be honest, I mostly went to hear DeJohnette. Not that Holland or Abercrombie were disappointing! Yes; I’ve heard Prism. Interesting, how Holland has found it invigorating to re-visit that electric Miles type sound, even to the exten... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Understood. My list of shows runs from Jorma to Ravi Shankar to Richard Thompson to Paul Winter to Santana to Emmylou, etc. -- definitely not all Jazz -- not even predominantly Jazz. I didn’t really get into Jazz until around age 30 ... | |
| jazz/blues piano players Some of these suggestions are stylistically/harmonically a long, long way from Professor Longhair and Charles Brown... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Hah ! I'm sure you've enjoyed your share of live music! It's true, though; we were very fortunate to have access to Yoshi's while we were still young enough to be willing to drive two and a half hours each way. Now, looking back, ... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 @jjss49 Many thanks for the "reality check" re: the 1- 2% difference in SQ you've encountered between a variety of DACs at different price points. Given the attention (is the word "hype" applicable here?) high-dollar DACs garner on the forum an... | |
| The Symphony of the Audiophile: How Do You Define Enjoyment in Sound? @audioguy85 If it drives me to tap my feet and or nod my head, then I’m in my happy place. Yes -- becoming aware of which aspects of SQ are most engaging for us is so important. @kmcong Perfection is not achievable, and no system is ever... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Allen, DeJohnette and Holland were brought together by Betty Carter late in her career. She released a live CD from that tour "Feed the Fire". I was lucky to see Gateway, once. That occasion remains my sole in-person experience of De... | |
| The Symphony of the Audiophile: How Do You Define Enjoyment in Sound? @mrskeptic I feel sorry for people who are so analytical that they have a hard time enjoying music. Yes; that is sad, however, like it or not, the analytical function is crucial for engaging in this hobby. The trick is to leverage its capacit... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim +1 Booker Little ... and I dig Booker Ervin, too ! | |
| The Symphony of the Audiophile: How Do You Define Enjoyment in Sound? When an audio system is relatively near perfection, and well balanced, the musical experience and the sound experience become ONE single experience... Perhaps I've simply not encountered this scenario, yet, even when listening to friends' much ... | |
| The Symphony of the Audiophile: How Do You Define Enjoyment in Sound? I can relate to what @tylermunns has said. I do believe music-lovers whose enjoyment is not dependent upon SQ are fortunate. And this group appears to include many musicians. To describe my experience as simply as I can, if I focus on SQ, I keep ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 No need for me to elaborate, as @jdougs expressed my feelings exactly. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 I very much doubt any of us will be "shocked" -- Amir's cult is, by now, quite well known around here. |
