| Jazz for aficionados To the extent that affection for someone can be experienced via dialogue (?) on a forum such as this, Rok, I admit to a sense of it towards your passion for music; I have said so on several occasions. I have "met" few individuals on these forums w... | |
| Phono stage good for classical and jazz? Abp689, the Herron suggestion is also excellent. It is a great sounding phono stage and I have heard both it and my modified EAR side by side extensively. If I had to choose between the two, IN MY SYSTEM, the Herron would come out on top. I did pr... | |
| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable Thuchan, no need to make apologies for your choice of music. I like Paul Simon, and I agree that the sound quality of his recordings is generally very good. I apologize if I came across as critical of the music; it was simply a bad attempt at humo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here it is. Hippest bass sound I've heard in a long time.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q6SbaYPU2LA | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wrong clip, sorry/ will post shortly. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Some thoughts about electric instruments: one may prefer the sound of acoustic instruments, but players choose to use electric or acoustic piano and bass not because one kind is intrinsically superior to the other. They are different animals altog... | |
| Phono stage good for classical and jazz? Congrats! Not in favor as it once was, in part because the trend continues toward the more and more analytical on the assumption that it means "better"; and trending away from the natural sound of music. Given your choice of music (great!) I think... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, another group from the '70's that I was into is Oregon. Wonderful instrumentalists; particularly Paul McAndless on multiple reeds including oboe. If you are not familiar with their work here are some examples; I have a feeling you will like ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I'm trying, really trying.****You cannot state 'your' definition of Jazz, and then have a discussion with others, using 'your' definition as a given fact. What you found lacking in the bluegrass piece, even by 'your' definition, was a matter ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****but a person has to be able to know it when they hear it. Think about it. ****Only if the person cares about attaching a definition of genre to the music as opposed to caring mainly about wether the music speaks to him/her as being good music ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados And check out Herbie's shoes! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ok, so what IS jazz? Someone famous once said that if you have to ask you'll never know. Someone else said that he doesn't know, but knows it when he hears it. Cop outs; and too easy! What this thread, now approaching 2000 posts, proves is that it... | |
