Sometimes natural, sophistication, and simplicity are the best friends in the world and meet one another through one singing  soul:

Don't change a thing, it's perfect, or close.. LOL
You are very kind .... But i am nowhere near perfect but i agree with you that someone saying "for only peanuts" in an audio thread must be   listened to and his saying verified by some....

My best to you......
Add to that observation on bad computer habit that we are not all first english speakers...

For that i apologize for sure....

My best to you....
I simply don’t see any humor in inventing a quote and then fictionally attributing it to another, especially when the same "gag" is repeated over and over and over again.
I will not excuse myself repeating what i just said in my last post that you seems to not understand or do not wanted to understand...

But if you read all my posts, there are not always "funny" perhaps and i apologize, however the content of my quote is almost never the same, funny or not....

@mahgister why do you invent these quotes, and then fictionally attribute them to others? Are you afraid to tell us what you think?
What do you think? do you really think that i am afraid to make a joke or a serious remark without my other alias?

If so, your insight is not what i tought it was....Think again....

Sorry.....

😊

Some clues : sometimes it is better to stay respectful and allude to something but staying cool or funny for all to read .....It is called "humor"....Sometimes i lend my joke to a more richer than me to help me .... Sometimes the quote of my dear Groucho add something light to my observation.... Sometimes it is to no avail, only my obsessive habit to steal his persona....

My best to you....
«If too much women send shivers all along your spine, you are not in love you are Casanova»- Groucho Marx


Chet Baker, Bach and Scriabin are those who sent me shivers in ALL their works at ALL time....

I loved then 3 times in my life, but i like today many others composers or musicians and in  too numerous number to wrote about here....
Very good album of Fresu, i concur to this recommendation...

I own 46 albums of Fresu....

:)
You are so passionate, i cannot resist to recommend this one....

Very interesting meeting for many trumpeters, some not well known in america but :

Thanks...

If you like trumpet like me try also  Paolo Fresu : "songlines" album and "night and blue"....It is more traditional but nevermind very good....
Some jazz for some educated soul:

Shivers on my spine indeed....


Kenny Wheeler :  The widow on the window

Supremum artistry akin to any of the best jazz album there is....

Almost anything gives me shivers....

Almost anything i liked or will like if it is a good recorded music for sure and created by geniuses in any style...

When your audio system is able to reproduce a natural instrument timbre any great musician will give you shivers....

But when i owned only a mediocre audio system a decade ago for example, ONLY the music which was already known and loved by me gives me shivers...i was not able to discover many new sounds qualities at full speed on the same level of ectasy that i already feel with Bach for example.... Bach is sublime on any medium anyway....

In a good audio systen any new great musician in any style gives shivers....

I love music, and always loved it, but with a very low grade audio system the discovery of something out of our known horizon is less appealing that what is our natal musical turf.... For me for example : Bach and some few others composers or singers....

With my new audio system anything great gives me shivers.... For example try gong music on a very ordinary audio system or a bad one..... No shivers here..... And no way to compare gong music with Bach....

But with the fullness of sound which is given by a good audio system , a theremin music or gong music can rival Chopin piano....WHY?

Because music is not only melody, harmony and rythm, it is also the fullness and complex depth and variable densities of timbre, and the holographic spatialisation of these sounds in relation with one another....

There is more images in a music piece than in a cinematographic film or at least the same numbers, with also the colors and geometrical varieties.... But to taste that we need a good reproduction audio system....If not i will listen only Bach well temprered Klavier on my Edison cylinder or from my smartphone.... One of my absolute favorite opus in all music.....
