| Don't Neglect to check your Caps! @waytoomuchstuff You could be right about the "twofer". I was doing a lot of running around that day and neglected to ask what, exactly, the tech used as a replacement. Sure made a big difference, though. AlI I know, is the sound is improved ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog PM = personal message. You should see a notification at the top of your screen to click on. I sent PM because you and I have gotten off main thread topic of Jazz and etiquette dictates we not "hijack" the thread. I'd prefer t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog Have sent PM | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog To clarify, if I had a dedicated room and the financial resources, I suspect my curiosity would most likely tempt me to explore the possibility of building a system whose presentation mimicked live music. I’m not fundamentally oppos... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog I only mentioned D. Krall because there seem to be many audiophiles whose "collection" of/familiarity with, Jazz singers is limited to these two artists. Please don’t interpret this as anything directed at you, personally. I’m fami... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog Well, you can always resort to youtube or spotify just to see whether you enjoy a particular album, irrespective of sonics. I'm actually not much of a P. Barber fan, based upon what audiophile friends have played for me, so far. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog In that case, check out Night Dreamer, Adam’s Apple and JuJu, as well. These are all pretty accessible. Etcetera is as personal favorite but may not be your cup of tea. Of course, Shorter was part of Miles’ "2nd Great Quintet". T... | |
| For Hellecasters Fans (and all those who appreciate hot Tele picking): Fun Listen John Jorgensen and Jerry Donahue also have also released solos albums. I've skimmed through a few of them and like this Will Ray release the best, so far. Will sells them on Ebay. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog Agreed -- no lack of melody when it comes to standards. Wayne Shorter is one of my favorite Jazz composers; although the chord changes can be fairly complex, the melodies can often be whistled. But perhaps "melodic" is in the min... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog I like music you want to dance to Ah, OK. For me, rhythm is very important when it comes to listening in general,. When it comes to Jazz, I want the strong sense of rhythm that is one of the strengths of the genre present, but ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray You might also enjoy this other Blue Note quartet with Hutcherson and Hancock: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bobby+hutcherson+Oblique | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog I don’t enjoy Rap for a variety of reasons. I haven’t listened to female rappers, so I don’t know whether they display a different perspective than the male rappers I’ve heard. To my ears, Rap sounds more like a spoken-word genre tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog I’m an old guy and I’ve heard a lot of music, and I’ve come to a point where I like what I like. What I’ve found is that, with age, it’s become more challenging to avoid being constrained by preferences developed over decades of ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog stuartk, writing poetry was never difficult for me because I was bursting with something to say and I wanted very badly to say it. I studied with Gary Snyder and other notable poets, so I had a technical foundation. Lucky you! ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog I agree-- we are very much on the same page although I do think you are romanticizing a bit if you really believe there is not work involved in mastering Jazz. Like any art form, it takes commitment and and discipline and the furthe... |
