| A double bass is the best instrument to pair with vocals FYI: both Sheila Jordan and Helen Merrill have recorded albums with just bass for accompaniment. | |
| Disappearing Jazz? @bigquery Sorry if I misunderstood. Perhaps starting a new thread specifically about the range of Jazz available for streaming would be a next step. | |
| Disappearing Jazz? @bigquery If you give us a better idea of what you’re looking for, we can make specific suggestions in terms of contemporary Jazz artists. Spotify (free, with ads) is an excellent resource for exploring unknown artists. | |
| Disappearing Jazz? @bigquery I’m confused as to whether you only listen to vinyl. If so, I can’t help. If you listen on CD as well, read on. During the 80s and 90s there was quite a renaissance of Jazz reissues on CD but that has subsequently fallen off. One need... | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them Great thread! Interesting, how subjective this can be. . . A few that spring to mind: Severely underrated, IMHO, Janis Ian has written some devastatingly sad songs. Try "Jessie". Sandy Denny: I can’t listen to her solo recordings due to the em... | |
| LaScala dac with telefunken tubes @jred57 In fact, they do show up used, occasionally. You just have to watch the hifi shark listings. I believe The Music Room are Aqua dealers and may offer a trial period. Their new price is $8320.00 Some who’ve upgraded from the much lower ... | |
| The Killer Has Died @waytoomuchstuff " I appreciate the incredible talent, inspite of his indiscretions. Does this make me a bad person?" The reality is: artists are human and humans are flawed (some to a greater degree than others). Each listener must make up ... | |
| A perfect song? What are your choices? Stevie Wonder has written a bunch of them... but my pick is "All In Love Is Fair" | |
| Good Baritone Sax Recording? Gary Smulyan: "Hidden Treasures" Nick Brignola: "On A Different Level" | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. As long as there are those who do not recognize the difference between objective and subjective, this thread will go on and on and on. . . with people continuing to talk past one-another. | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. @brunomarcs "How about 'Female artist never heard of' I think that's what this has turned into. Now you audiophiles have heard of many more than the average consumer probably 90% of these lady's mentioned wouldn't be recognized by the majority... | |
| New Albums from Courtney Marie Andrews and Coles Whalen @bigquery Thanks very much-- I will check it out! | |
| What was the last CD you bought (Name, and year issued)? Oregon: "Oregon - 1974" Hendrix/Band of Gypsys: "Songs for Groovy Children" Box Set | |
| New Albums from Courtney Marie Andrews and Coles Whalen @Bigquery "It’s too early to call her a superstar in Americana music but the notes are clearly on the wall" Her newest is quite a bit more commercial-sounding than her other records. Personally, I still prefer "Honest Life". She most certain... | |
| Talking Book @mike_in_nc Agreed. Don't forget "Innervisions" -- one of his greatest! Listening to his 70's albums is what first drew me into Jazz. |
