| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Well, aging sure isn't improving mine! ;o) | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Is this your first exposure to the Quartet? | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim To me, it sounds as though Pharaoh has experienced heartbreak but sufficient time has passed so the initial sting has subsided. Instead of playing from inside the pain, he's able to look at it with a bit of detachment -- sort of wist... | |
| Are you familiar with this guitar virtuoso @mrdecibel Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out. @czarivey I would never claim to know better than Johnny Mac! Perhaps I’m allowing my subjective taste to cloud my perceptions. Generally, I tend not to like such "note-y" players. | |
| Are you familiar with this guitar virtuoso @larsman Well, in retrospect, it's unclear to me whether the OP's intended main focus was Matteo or Roy, so your guess is as good as mine! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Perhaps you're thinking of the link to "Welcome To Love" by Pharaoh Sanders? On that album, Y.D.K.W.L.I. is the first tune. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Which version? Like @frogman I find Coltrane's version melancholy-sounding. | |
| Are you familiar with this guitar virtuoso @larsman Matteo Mancuso was born in 1996 and is still very much alive! | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? @phusis Some of it probably comes down to semantics and ascribing different meanings to chosen terms Well worth keeping in mind for this discussion! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Melancholy is the word that comes to mind when listening to Trane’s. ...which would seem to be more consistent with the lyrics: You don't know what love is Until you've learned the meaning of the blues Until you've loved a love you... | |
| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. @bdp24 My love of The Band is well known, and perhaps becoming annoying. Sorry, but imo there is The Band, and then there is every other self-contained (songwriting, singing, ensemble musicianship) Rock 'n' Roll combo. We shouldn't have t... | |
| RIP SRV I was fortunate to catch him live after he’d cleaned up, touring the In Step album. Gone was the cocky, badass gunslinger. He was so warm, sweet and humble. His playing was as fiery as ever but elevated by a powerfully spiritual vibe that, for me ... | |
| Are you familiar with this guitar virtuoso The question is, will he grow into an artist? For those whose gifts enable them to acquire superior technique early on, it can be very challenging. | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. @mijostyn Now that you mention it, on occasion, when I’ve cranked the volume so I can hear it better in another room, I’ve noticed a fatiguing edge. I never turn it up that loud when in my listening chair, though. | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. @mijostyn All I can say is that I haven't experienced any noticeable link between volume and sibilance at the levels I typically employ. Doesn't mean it's not happening-- I simply don't hear it. Sibilance might get worse at levels higher than 7... |
