| VPI TNT MkIII - pluses and minuses? How much does the seller want? Does it come wih an arm? Which arm? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, musicians' wages? Yikes! That's gonna take some time; lot's to say. Will be back. | |
| Jazz for aficionados But then again, Freddie nor Clifford would have stood a chance with this:http://m.youtube.com/index?&desktop_uri=%2F#/watch?feature=related&v=Gu2f_-01BdEAmazing! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Overlook the flash, and "Wow factor", and see which ones belong in "the best" category due to strong sense of thematic development, musical logic, and ability to let you follow the tune at all times. It's clear to me. What do you think?http://m.yo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It is definitely NOT your imagination. Mariachi trumpet players have some very distinctive characteristics s in their playing; in fact, there is a "Mariachi school" of trumpet playing. This style is studied by those players just as the classical a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****This guy was in all types of music. From Classical Orchestras, to the Cuban Army Band. I am sure this background influenced his approach to Jazz. **** - Rok2id re PDRBingo! Paquito's first and most important influence was the music of his nati... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, thanks for the Andrew Davis link. No, I had not seen this, and he does a great job of dissecting (in a good sense) Berg's "Lulu". It is always interesting to hear how a composer may have first conceived the music on the piano before orchestra... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris, eliminate the competition, I always say :-) Man, I wasn't even close! Over 2000 ET2's sold; I would never have guessed the number to be that high. I figured 1200 or so by the time the arm was discontinued (before being brought back). When w... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw, welcome back to the thread. What you see on the arm wand (magnesium) is a very exotic rubberized cloth material used as a wrap, and sourced from a local supplier, called Lowe's rubberized cloth gaffer's tape :-)In an attempt to tame my Vande... | |
| Zyx vs. Van Den Hul I agree with Raul's recommendation. Having said that, I can tell you that I have owned a VDH MC1S for many years and still occasionally use it. Also, while I cannot say with authority that this is true, I have seen it mentioned several times that ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "...certain point in the TUNE." Not, ten. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Exactly! Good description; like a second movement, and not a bad thing at all. It is common for players to change the mood by double timing at a certain point in the ten. Perhaps I wasn't clear, but my issue it is not with her choice to double tim... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Total babe! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, if you want Lulu on DVD be sure to get the Met Opera, James Levine cond. DVD; terrific. BTW, of special note about this music is the fact that the saxophone (alto) features very prominently in the piece; unusual in orchestral writing. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, Charles1dad; ditto. Have not heard "Night Lights", but will definitely check it out. Being very familiar with both Mulligan and Farmer, I imagine they are a beautiful pairing indeed. |
