| Jazz for aficionados ****I have always thought of Wynton and being more than just a Jazz player****Very true. He is a formidable force in jazz today; as you said, "the face of jazz". An outspoken embassador for jazz with a dedication to and understanding of the histor... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Branford is the real deal. This record is on my list of must-gets. With your endorsement, it just got moved to the top of the list. Wynton is a more meticulous instrumentalist, but his jazz playing leaves me cold; almost as if he is playing solos ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** I think Branford might be better than his brother.****Duh! | |
| advice? Value of Gold Aero 7308s?? I would be careful about selling them for little money before some research. 7308's were made and/or sometimes rebranded by Amperex, Siemens, Sylvania, Raytheon, and probably others as well. If you can post a close up of the tube, I am sure they c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks. ****You dissed it then****I will have to search the archives :-) and get back to you. I am 100% consistent; you should know that :-) :-) | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Why should they? Nothing new about this. The soloist always gets top billing. Miles did the playing. Evenas arranged and conducted the orchestra. He did not conduct Miles!Think of Anne-Sophie Mutter playing with the Berliners. Who gets top bil... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dean_man,My apology for misinterpreting your comments. Regards. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dean_man, at first I was mystified by your, seemingly, contradictory comments. You seemed to be agreeing with my premise; then, in your second paragraph contradicted it. I realize now that you misinterpreted what I said. Please correct me if ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados We can't have it both ways. I think that a thread such as this is a breath of fresh air on this forum (Agon). What could be better than an opportunity to discover and share new music? Personal opinion and commentary are an inevitable part of the p... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Beauty comes in different shapes and sizes. Next to Brecker, my favorite post-Coltrane tenor player: Dave Liebman.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BrIfp7F6wR8 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Goofyfoot, why do I feel we need to argue, when there is no argument at all? You are reading into my comments things that I am not suggesting at all. Where do I say anything suggesting that the "hipper" players are not deserving of their popularit... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am in complete agreement with Nandric re the subjects of nature vs. nurture and of how we hear; with some qualifications. I think that his use of Chinese Opera as an example of how nurture comes into play is a very good one; and one that I can r... |
