| Interesting bilind testing of Stradivarius Violin These stories are so tiresome. Every few years the same "test" is conducted; with the same or similar problems of methodology and biases that render the results nothing more than bullshit. First of all, it should be noted that there are, in fact, ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the clips. On that first clip, in spite of the poor audio quality, I can hear the Bob Meyer that I remember; good writer, too.Your clips led me to, and reminded me of, a clip of Bob playing with South Fla legend and Chicago native Ira S... | |

| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed ****they say it's a science, NOT an art) ****Does it really matter; assuming it works for some? | |
| Jazz for aficionados That is the same Bob Meyer. Sad news. Thanks for the clip. He was well past his prime in that clip, he used to be an interesting and fiery player. May he rest in peace. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, yeah, a shame that the Sullivan clip is only getting 50 views. You're right about the NTS, a lot of great young players have come out of that program and the One O'clock Lab Band. Do you ever hear about or know a trumpet player (also plays... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris, Bruce is indeed a fascinating individual and his talent is obviously never in question. After half a dozen, or so, phone conversations over the years I have gotten the sense that he is a kind of "mad scientist"; and, I say that in the most ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****But the real shocker for me, is that not one of our 'pros', commented on the performance of Water Music and Fireworks by the French Orchestra. ESP, the conductor!! What do you think of this guy?****Well, if you insist; and, please understand t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No pressure, Acman3; I was not taking you to task with my comment at all. | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Before we relegate Feng Shui to simply superstition it might be helpful to note that the magnetic compass (a verifiably effective and still in use instrument) was developed for use in Feng Shui. Chi is an important aspect in Feng Shui practice. | |
| Jazz for aficionados And BTW, Rok, for whatever it may be worth, Wynton thinks Ted Nash is "the bomb". I don't know if you connected the dots, but Ted is 2nd alto in the LCJB and is often featured and has gotten some recent commissions for new works (worth hearing). | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I am not quite sure I understand what the problem is. I can appreciate and respect Acman3's choice to not engage in much of the debate/discussion, but, over the last three days alone, there have been close to a dozen links to new music and n... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, thanks for your impressions of those young players. I don't know what you listened to by Ted Nash, but I would give him another listen; he really is a great player. I must say that I don't know what the hell the comment that "he talks too muc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****I don’t like to hear someone put down dixieland. Those people who say there’s no music but bop are just stupid; it shows how much they don’t know.**** - Miles****I say, play your own way. Don’t play what the public wants. You play what you wan... |
