| How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? @wolf_garcia I don’t think you have to objectively "understand" a piece of music to absolutely enjoy it right away, from complex jazz or classical to a simple tune. +1 @tony1954 If I don’t want to listen to the entire song, then it has al... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @fthompson251 No scolding. Just stating simple fact. You can call a duck a goose if you want but be prepared for people to tell you "no-- it’s actually a duck". That’s all there is to it. Doesn’t mean they’re trying to give you a hard time. I ha... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @fthompson251 You are not ruffling feathers. Please read my PM. | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @larryi Still, it is hard to say what will connect with any one listener. Yes. I’ve recommended music plenty of times to friends. Sometimes, they’re enthusiastic; other times, they show surprisingly (to me) little enthusiasm. There’s a lot th... | |
| How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? Once, to know whether it’s something I want to listen to any further. Maybe two to three more times to figure out if I like it enough to buy it. | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @wsrrsw I’m 68, so I’m very well acquainted with "brain lapse syndrome" -- it’s "real " enough! ;o) @mashif Most jazz is just too busy and complex for me to enjoy. I like jazz ballads best. Simple and soulful music is my thing. Fair enoug... | |

I'd advise anyone who wants to explore Jazz to get a copy of the All Music Guide to Jazz which does a good job of d... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @wsrrsw I think you mean "Swiss Movement" , no? | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @fpomposo I hope you were just kidding . . Since when does being an audiophile depend upon being a Jazz lover, or for that matter, a lover of any specific genre? | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @fthompson251 If you look up Mose Allison on the All Music Guide site or Spotify, you will find suggestions for similar artists. You might find this feature helpful! Another jazzy Blues album -- "Jazz Blues Fusion" by John Mayall. Another sugg... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @no_regrets I've always believed that God is the Great Healer, the Great Physician and he simply works through our doctors and medical teams to heal us. ... as is music! | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @fthompson251 To enjoy Jazz, you need to understand at least two things: 1) Jazz improvisation is a language and 2) there is a general pattern or structure to Jazz performances. As with any language, it’s best to start out simply, so that you d... | |
| Why isn’t more detail always better? @asvjerry When listening to live music, I’m only focused on sonics if they are distractingly poor -- such as painfully loud or bright. Where I want my focus to be is on emotional engagement, with my left brain, like my cell phone, switched off !... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @no_regrets Wow -- I didn't realize your health challenges have been ongoing, Don. I pray your doctors will get your situation sorted out soon! Warm regards, Stuart | |
