Jazz for aficionados
A few months ago someone brought up Kenny Wheeler and I mentioned having recently listed to his "Gnu High" album. I bought this when it was issued; now it's 45 years old. Sidemen? Just Keith Jarrett, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette. Not sure if I posted it then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p096UTjQgeI&list=OLAK5uy_kjuLFvreynaECQ9oZxpaupvw5Y0iMkHRI |
I have a dilemma. As some of you know, my turntable/arm are being fixed/upgraded, and I've been vinyl-less for several months. Since I began frequenting the forum, I've become thrilled with being able to watch historic performances, using a simple bluetooth-to-RCA device to play them through my system. The turntable will be ready shortly and I have a VPI-17 cleaner on the way. I'll be back in vinyl bliss shortly, but I'll be losing the visual thrill. How do you all go about getting the best sonics when you play YT clips? I still want to enjoy everyone's YT recommendations, but the sonics are going to be a real let-down compared to my analog rig. Any suggestions for getting the best sound from the YT material? |
It features along with Wardell Gray a trumpet player seldom mentioned, but deserving more attention I didn't include this in my post, but it was / is in the notes: "...Still he(Morgan) fared better than his studio mate(Wardell Gray). Within a few weeks of the recording session Gray turned up dead in the Nevada desert, by most accounts directly or indirectly a victim of his drug habit." Really, Really sad, and what a waste. We can only guess what "directly or indirectly" refer to. Cheers |
I love this guy’s attitude!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CMfzprf1Gg Cheers btw, The first classical CD I ever purchased was by Liszt. Even before I had a player. I listened to it once. Nothing like validation from someone who knows. The only Liszt I own. |
