| Various artists share their Bob Dylan anecdotes with Otis Gibbs. @bdp24 On a similar topic, you're probably already familiar with Leo Kotke's Dylan encounter but others here may not be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2KoIWEAdaM (Actual anecdote begins at .52 into video). | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @jwei When I first read about music reproduced with good pace, rhythm, and timing, I assumed the system had elevated midbass and treble to emphasize drums, cymbals, etc. and an uncompressed dynamic range. You say when you "first heard... [... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @coltrane1 ... whatever turns you on. Jazz is a huge, multifaceted genre, so there is plenty to explore, choose from and enjoy! | |
| If you haven't yet discovered Rosie Flores..... @wolf_garcia The unpopular music business Clever! Unbeknownst to the general public, some of the best artists in the world fall into this category. We can count ourselves lucky, whatever the reason(s) might be in our individual cases, that... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman OK. You read my mind. I don't know if this will impel me to buy any of his recordings but I can't complain that he never plays lyrically. ;o) | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Ah -- "hint of..." -- my mistake! Yes; I can definitely see how Lovano and Potter differ. This isn't the case regarding Potter and Brecker. I'm not disputing the parallels you draw, it's just that I haven't listened much to Brecker... | |

| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck @slofut I imagine it was very inspiring to spend time with such a player! | |
| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck @slofut How lucky for you to have known him! Ampeg SVT's? You’re a bass player ? | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman "Porter" ? You mean, Potter? | |
| HEGEL 190, 390-400, 590-600 The fire at the factory that produced AKM dac chips used in the H390 impelled Hegel to switch to Sabre chips for the H600 and the new replacement for the H390 . . the H400? How this impacts the sonics I can’t say. I’d never depend upon an AI for b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Re: Shorter vs. Coleman, as a listener, for me, it comes down to the mood I’m in, on any given day or evening. I don’t want to listen to Shorter’s Blue Notes or the 2nd Great 5tet all the time, even though these recordings are among my all time fa... | |
| Phil Lesh Monster bassist. He will be missed by many, including me. |
