| Jazz for aficionados Rok, thank you for the reasoned response. To be clear, I am not saying that the Marsalis cut is not jazz, how could I? Only that in the context of that particular idiom and what should be appropriate vocabulary for a tune in that style, I think th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, we all have different tastes; that is stating the obvious. Having said that, I couldn't disagree with you more concerning your comparison of the Peplowski and Marsalis cuts. Like I said, we all have different tastes and I am not about to try ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If this doesn't put a smile on your face, you're probably dead and don't know it :-)http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=related&v=9MUwb3eNZzE | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover, thanks. It appears to me that re coupling/decoupling of the I-beam/weight we are dealing with two issues that, on the surface, may seem to be one and the same, but are actually two separate considerations. We have 1. the degree of coupling ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados About time the clarinet was represented. My favorite post-Benny Goodman jazz clarinetist.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xKGL9MWe8RE | |
| Jazz for aficionados Anyone who thinks jazz is dead just needs to get out more often. Listen to these guys swing their a&%#s off. Heard here is Scott Robinson, a genius of this music. Sessions like these are commonplace in small clubs around NYC.http://m.youtube.c... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The discussions (arguments?) between Dover and Richard have been extremely thought-provoking; and very interesting to say the least. I think that the well-intended participants who look for complete harmony, agreement, and absence of confrontation... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Nonsense; with all due respect. It's frustrating how the obvious is always overlooked by the naysayers. It's not that recording engineers don't use better cables; actually, some do, and have expressed the benefits. It is that at the stage of the i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ****..........we definitely 'hear' differently when it comes to certain cartridges.**** - Halcro****I have some friends from 'Concert Gebouw' in Amsterdam whom I try to impress with my best sounding records on my impressive nr. 1 or 'main system '... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10, there are exceptions to every rule; as I am sure you would agree. Actually, Art Pepper was one, he seldom practiced. But, as a rule, jazz musicans practice, or practiced, a great deal. If your jazz musician friend is able to do what you... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not sure it's jazz; but a lot closer, IMO. And no looping! I can do without 2:50; however:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5wqplKtzWpI | |
| Jazz for aficionados :-) :-) | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thekong, Richard, I sometimes use brass weights (supplied by Thigpen) instead of, or in combination with, the usual lead weights. IMO, the concern is not so much the possibly inherently-different sound of something like brass as compared to lead, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A little humor, and the subject of jam sessions. Hysterical!http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1Zn-P0ZH3_M | |
| Jazz for aficionados A very insightful post; and I agree completely. This is one of two very common misconceptions about musicians held by many music lovers. This quote by Louis Armstromg addresses this point and shows that he cares deeply about what the audience thin... |
