Yes they are the bargain they appear to be. You will also need a antenna, preferably one that goes on the roof.
Since the station I listen to is on the computer, I never use mine anymore, and that's why they are such a bargain.
Jazz for aficionados
Jazz for aficionados
I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

rok, I think the first question to ask is "are there any stations still broadcasting material I like within my reception area?". No turner is a bargain if it does not pull in what you'd enjoy listening to. After that, remember to old-timer advice: an average tuner with a good antenna will outperform a good tuner with a poor antenna. |
Stephen Raymond Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) was an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer, and one of the most influential guitarists in the revival of blues in the 1980s. I've got a brand new album (LP) by "Little Stevie" that I didn't even know I had. It's titled "Couldn't Stand The Weather" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htJmBUgALXY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGPx-ekqZEo This is da blues! |
There have been bloody islands in the Mississippi River between St. Louis and Illinois; this was one of them, but not the only one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Island_(Mississippi_River) |
Since the station I listen to is on the computer, I never use mine anymore, and that's why they are such a bargain. My computer is not connected to my rig, so I still use tuners. I have three of those 'cute' little Sony HD tuners, but one has started acting strange, has to be unplugged for a day or so, every day or so. Had to bring my Marantz out of the closet, where it has been for 11 years. Works great. Tuners are a great source of music for free. Cheers |
