| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, thanks for the Sonny Rollins clip. I too love that record. It's really amazing how two icons of the tenor saxophone can both be so influential and yet so different. If I was forced to pick my favorite desert-island tenor player, Sonny woul... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Tubegroover, thanks for posting the Trane documentary. Fantastic stuff and should be required viewing. What an amazing force in music he was! | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Besame mucho" is one of the most beautiful Latin tunes, IMO; and I really like this version by Evora. The tune is not Brazilian at all (although Evora is from Cape Verde a Portuguese ex-colony); and, while the tune is often thought to be Cuban (s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Coltrane's LEO: The CIA uses that tune at Gitmo.****Trane-boarding! :-) | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Ella is actually out"playing" the horn players on that clip; she really was amazing, and I've never seen a case big enough for her. But, Trane; man, I'm not quite ready to come back to earth yet.https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL7D089D2C50E9... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If you think gunplay because of a dispute over chord changes is an indication of passion, I would hate to see what some folks I know would do (to you) after hearing anything Coltrane played referred to as "just fine" :-)O-10, I have a pretty good ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Interesting comments all; and, in keeping with the incredible depth, scope and inclusiveness of Trane's music, I think that there is truth in all of them. While it is true that bringing new players in compounded the "problem", I am not sure that t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Soulful player. Hart can definitely play. He has also spent a lot of time listening to this; the best version ever:https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Af1gkPGbZTY&list=PL09w5s2Eb6V-_a6gcLR5ELdj-UKg4TPm7BTW, I'm surprised you didn't object to the e... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris, I agree re firm pneumatic suspension; that was the best solution for me given my table's environment. My TNT sits on a wall shelf which fixed the springy floor problem I was having, but created others. With my previous HW19's (II, III &... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****I think Tyner was the glue that kept the latter Quartet from the abyss.****Interesting comment. How so? Thanks. | |
| Herbie Hancock best recordings ****Educate me on the topic of Herbie if you feel so inclined****Well, one of the few artists who merits owning every single recording that he has done. Possible to document the evolution of jazz and all it's peripheral influences on other genres ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, pathetic isn't it? I guess that is what is meant by "jury of one's peers". | |
| Jazz for aficionados Strange, works at my end. Here they are again:Horowitz "Pictures":https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=jXfJAup8W9wMcCoy pentatonics:https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=M66jmp4F8I8 | |
| Jazz for aficionados One man's opinions:-"Old lion with the young pups!". Josh Evans. Good young players. Frank Lacy? Ouch! -Freddie Hubbard "Skydive". Nice clip. Never heard anything by Freddie that wasn't at least good. Great playing, but with a little of a "tenth s... |
