| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video @hilde45 Excellent point. Ironically, this is often used as a warning, as in "don't buy X -- it'll just sound different, not better". | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video While I agree with @bigtwin and @mfili35 that if one has a tendency towards OCD, any hobby can bring this out, I don’t agree that every hobby emphasizes "upgrading" or "taking things to the nth degree" to the same extent as audio. Furthermore, i... | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video @rsf507 , @cleeds With all due respect, aversion to Jay’s personality is not the point. I’ve never found him appealing. Nevertheless, I think the topic he raises is a worthwhile one. For certain personality types, the pursuit of the "Absolute S... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Enjoy ! | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. @bdp24 Some songs improved with age, others become diminished (no musical pun intended). Improved? Don't you mean augmented? ;o) | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim If you haven’t yet heard his first Blue Note "Night Dreamer", why not begin there? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mJS8HXbYn4&list=OLAK5uy_mAu9NiVToftZRqogZrSMeqo_FN3v5-hu0 Or for something completely different: https://www.y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Between his work as a leader, with Miles, Blakey and Weather Report, there’s a lot to choose from and it’s hard to go wrong! | |
| Jazz for aficionados A short lived "Jazz Super Group" V.S.O.P I recall it being a big deal, back in the 70’s, when that group emerged. I hadn’t yet heard those guys’ recordings with Miles, so it was all new to me. | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. @bdp24 too much jamming/extended guitar soloing, too little playing and singing of songs. But isn’t this the definition of a hippie band? ;o) The Sons were, indeed, terrific! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @ho249 Some here might be interested in this, from the bandcamp page, regarding the label: "Red Hook Records is a new label launched in 2020 by former ECM producer Sun Chung. It aims to dissolve musical boundaries through the interweaving of m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister That is indeed a lovely pairing! @bpoletti I don't know how long I could endure being limited to just one artist but if we are talking Jazz, then Wayne Shorter would be the one I'd choose. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 My observations are based on my subjective personal musical tastes as a "knowledgeable listener" and not a musician. When @frogman , himself a musicians peer, who I’m sure has countless musician peers as friends in the same line of wo... | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. @jmalen123 Once again, a music list without one song from this century. Sad. ... and in twenty-five years, someone may well say the same thing about what you like. Will their description of your taste as "sad" diminish the value of the music... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I get it. I hope you didn't get the impression I'm suggesting T. Brooks isn't a worthy topic for discussion. When Blue Note first came out with the CD reissues of his recordings on that label, I got the sense it was a really big de... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Tina Brooks was a great tenor and also a very good composer. I’m not a sax player so I’m not going to make any claims as to who was "better", technically. Nor do I possess your deep knowledge of Jazz. Nevertheless, I find "Soul Stat... |
