Jazz for aficionados
Can anyone recommend any of the latest and greatest Computer speakers? I have Logitech Z623. Price no object. :) Cheers Don't jump on the OP too hard. Every account of that white Saxophone, in all the Jazz publications I have ever read, refer to it as a 'plastic' or 'toy Plastic' horn. And ridicule him for playing it. All written by pros. Cheers |
If Mingus hadn't recorded it (though his own bass part was inaudible and had to be dubbed in later) the gig might have ended up as little more than a jazz footnote. But the show was released later as The Quintet - Jazz At Massey Hall, one of the great recorded live shows in the history of the genre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_at_Massey_Hall Mingus's bass was inaudible, and had to be dubbed in, but according to some one, that was more important than Diz and Bird's solos. "Massey Hall concert, even though that hyped event had Bud Powell and Mingus backing the horn titans. Massey Hall to me sounds like Bird and Diz were at one another's throats. This one, (The Town Hall Concert) has them sounding like lovers locked in giddy embrace." Any time I read "Massey Hall", I think hype. The worst thing about this debate is that you hear all the flaws, yet you insist that Massey Hall was the best. This thread is "Jazz For Aficionados" and any one who is supposed to be a real "aficionado", can be challenged. |
