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. @bdp24Â Mama mia;Â 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) | |
Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I actually just finished the Guide To Jazz Recordings and I wrote a copious amount of notes. Now you can move on to The All Music Guide to Jazz, which includes out-of-print releases not included in the Penguin! ;o) Yes, there is... | |
Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Listened to a lot of the late great Wayne Shorter last night. The album Speak No Evil is probably his best overall session. "Speak No Evil", "JuJu", "Night Dreamer", "Adam’s Apple" and "Etcetera" please me equally. "The All Seeing ... | |
Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563Â Yes ; I'm familiar with this live Quintet recording. I heard it when it was first released but at the time it did not seem as strong to me as one particular night's performance I'd witnessed with my wife at Yoshi's, hence I've never o... | |
100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie  @mahgister No one go on the same road to the same house... You are right about that... ...And a house may have many entrances ;o)  | |
100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @laoman I don’t believe all music is of equal artistic merit but the OP stated from the outset that this was to be "just for fun". Enough said.      | |
100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @mofimadness Wait... "no box sets" ? How did I miss that? ! ;o)  |
