| Jazz for aficionados I like this... and it’s reasonably affordable on CD, no less. Thanks, @mahgister ! Any chance you might list some other Japanese Jazz CDs you like? | |
| RIP Tom Jones I recall his TV show and the schmaltzy top 40 hits but check out this guest spot with CSNY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIDzA0YDso8 | |
| If I love Elvin jones I'll love.....? The only one that I can think of that comes close is Blakey. Check out the title cut from "Free for All" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJBLA39spc4&list=OLAK5uy_nJOp9u0pWGGTEbPU_rtQN35yOkuJ9WCd0&index=1 | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 OK... more on intonation. When the guitar player on that Handy Monterey album plays two notes that are "rubbing up against one-another" in a blatantly out-of-tune fashion at around 13:36, my ears/brain instantly rebel. I like "Karuna... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 A small jazz ensemble comparison example showcasing the alto saxophones of McLean followed by Phil Woods OK -- it only takes seconds to hear the difference. I like both but when listening to McLean, I'm not focused on his intonation... | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It @kota1 As I'm a music lover first and foremost, what I'm "immersed in" is the music -- melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre, emotion -- rather than the sonic presentation. A more true-to-life sonic presentation certainly makes listening more enjoyabl... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @bdp24 Another disappointment from the group was their sole Little Village album. Yeah-- the fist and only time I listened to that, I thought "WTF is this?" I'm not familiar with "The New Basement Tapes" but then again, I was never a fan of... | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It @kota1 I watched the video. Is the difference between us that I view immersion more in terms of the capacity of the listener while you seem to view the listener more as a passive factor, with technology facilitating immersion? Or perhaps we def... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @bdp24 Explanation: I read an interview with Hiatt in which he stated that his intention was to record Slow Turning with the Bring the Family group; that in fact they went into the studio and began running down the songs but that the band was n... | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It @kota1 I know when I'm immersed and when I'm not -- I most certainly do not require a scientist to perform or validate such assessments for me. | |
| Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage? If you need to turn it up loud to sound good, then your system needs work. I have some damage from when I was young and couldn’t afford a good system. Agreed. I have some damage from guitar amps and at 67, have no desire to incur any furth... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister You’re welcome! If I could listen to one trumpet player, it would be Woody Shaw. Fortunately, there are many recordings by him to enjoy. @alexatpos Jazz that focuses mostly on rhythmic vamps without the addition of strong melodic ... | |

| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It @kota1 "I am saying that everyone prefers a live performance over a recording of a live performance, period". Well I don’t. There are far too many variables. | |
| Immersive Audio and How to Achieve It @kota1 100% of music listeners prefer live music to recorded playback, why? A live performance "immerses" you and frees you up to move around the room, the dance floor and still be immersed. Did you mean to say "100% of people who define imme... |
