| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @rpeluso I love Willie’s version of "Crazy". I don’t think he gets enough recognition for his guitar playing, personally. I regard Willie's voice as elemental, like the wind -- timeless. "Funny How Time Slips Away" is another favorite. And w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 It's very disappointing, to put it mildly, to learn about A. Lion's abhorrent behavior. Anyone here ever read "Straight Life" (was there ever a more ironic title?) by Art Pepper? | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim thanks go the link. A friend gave me a copy. It’s good to have friends.😁 👍 | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 I for one like the way they sound and you can get a ton of RVG remasters from a ton of musicians. Well; many on CD are no longer in print, so grab ’em up while you can! Still, they’re easier to find in many cases than the Ron McMas... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Can't help with streaming but the CD is available here: https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?master_id=359944&ev=mb&ships_from=United+States&format=CD | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @mahgister Your latest post brings things into much clearer focus for me. Thanks for making the effort to keep going until I was able to understand 🙏 This is music experience for me... Not only confort, relaxation, feeling, thinking, but th... | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @simonmoon , @mahgister Thanks to both of you for your very generous responses 🙏 @simonmoon When I tried to listen to them, I was initially taken aback by the dissonances they use, and it made no sense to me. It sounded wrong to me. So, I pu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 I take it that you are referring to the original RVG recordings. Detractors of the RVG remasters have asserted they are too bright, due to RVG's age at the time and his loss of hearing in the high frequency range. My system is on the... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @onhwy61 Who from The Band could play in LZ? Robbie R. could and so could Garth. Garth -- OK -- he can play just about anything. I love The Band and I'm not a Zep fanatic by any means but RR? Maybe you're joking? | |
| Audiogon, meet Buddy Miller. @bdp24 Mama mia; that's an amazing range of tones he gets out of that Italian guitar... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister You are most welcome, sir! | |
| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @mahgister One thing i discovered is music is less about our tastes than about the way we learn how to hear and how to listen... I definitely recognize that I’m limited by my tastes -- as time goes on, I’m finding less and less music that I w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister You’re looking for a CD box set that includes "Night Dreamer"? This one does: https://www.deepdiscount.com/5-original-albums-by-wayne-shorter/602547110992?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImK3Q84SCgQMVywKtBh15cQpyEAQYCCABEgIT7vD_BwE I don’t believe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman One of the true giants of this music and my favorite post-1960, or so, Jazz composer. Mine too ! I particularly love his melodic sensibility. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim You're welcome. Between the two, you should be pretty well covered ;o) |
