| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @bdp24 I'm very sensitive to harsh highs and as I don't have the option of following the embedding advice of @mahgister (my system in in our living room), I try to be very careful with gear choices. Nevertheless, I unintentionally ended up with ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim You're welcome! Stanley Cowell is excellent. @mahgister The sax, trumpet, piano, bass and drums is probably my favorite. Check out Billy Harper's quintet recordings with trumpeter Eddie Henderson, such as the three "Live in the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Well, OK -- if you insist! Sticking to the Ralph Moore theme, here's a live JJ Johnson date with a killer group of sidemen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoYmdoOoOto JJ Johnson: Trombone Ralph Moore: Sax Victor Lewis: Drums ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Haven’t heard that one. BTW, another excellent record featuring Ralph Moore is Kenny Barron’s "Other Places": https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kenny+barron+other+places I will attempt to restrain myself from bombarding... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Are you familiar with Vincent Herring? https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=vincent+herring+simple+pleasure | |
| 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? |
