It’s all relative. A beautifully made Oyster Bamboo fly fishing rod sells for close to $5000. That’s more than enough for a good Primaluna.
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.

Lately I've been listening to the Tsuyoshi Yamamoto Trio - the beautiful sounding 45 pressing from Acoustic Sounds. Lately I've been getting into Japanese piano jazz trios. The Yuko Mabuchi Trio is another one. |
"My entire adult working life was in electronics." So has mine, I failed to see the connection between that and the high end? My knowledge has enabled me to achieve "Stereophile Class "A" sound" at a cheaper price; just yesterday some RCA connectors came in the mail that will be used to make interconnects which sound as good as very expensive one's. If you can't hear the difference, it would be pointless to pay the difference; I'm not buying for status, I'm buying for sound. |
alex, ARC is a move up from Audible Illusions. My beginnings in jazz go back to Johnny Smith and "Moonlight In Vermont". I liked all of those albums you posted. As everyone knows, I'm all about memories, and Johnny Smith brings back some good one's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRNpc-hFkCs |
