| Vinyl Warm Up Time I agree with @lewm on all counts. I might even increase the length of time to one solid hour to reach optimum and really “sing”. All tube, btw. | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @audio-b-dog , re Trane/Pharoah: **** Am I missing something? **** No disrespect intended, but the answer is: obviously! A while back there was an ongoing debate on the JFA thread between one of the then most prolific contributors and I about w... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Curious, could someone else try those links and report what they get? Thanks! | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Very strange. With either link I get the Latvian National Opera and the soprano is Dinara Alieva. Go figure! | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Let’s try it this way. This is what I get: https://youtu.be/ooJwh5Hxcwg?si=RcFZVYgAB70EmT9Z | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Still waiting for Callas….☺️ | |

| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Love Haydn oratorios including “The Creation”. I recently listened to a favorite, “Il Ritorno di Tobias”. I usually prefer to leave audiophilic stuff out of music discussions, but as an aside, if forced to choose, my Dorati/Royal Phil double LP ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Yes, good to see you back, PJW. Hope all is well and thanks for your comments. You are correct about Coltrane’s solo on “The Way You Look Tonight”, Trane plays after Mobley @5:52. Solo orders: “Ball Bearing”: 10:26 - Coltrane, 11:42 - Morgan,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk @audio-b-dog , re Coleman Hawkins “Body and Soul” and Coltrane “My Favorite Things” and “virtuosity”. Virtuosity is not an easy thing to define, in this case are we talking about technical virtuosity, or conceptual virtuosity, speci... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fantastic post, @mahgister ! It is generally acknowledged that Jazz, at its most basic, is a blend of African rhythmic elements and European harmony. As you suggest, in the absence of time/rhythm, however obtuse (“Rite….” is a good example), har... |
