Skeptical until I heard the difference in my own systemghosthouse if you don't mind could you tell me what power conditioner and cables you use?
Jazz for aficionados
Jazz for aficionados
I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

Jimmy Owens featured in this video of "Donna Lee" from '73. Great clip, but keep in mind the emphasis was on "frenetic." Yikes. BTW, Roy Haynes on drums. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaUTSUb1zXw&list=RDuaUTSUb1zXw&start_radio=1 |
Speaking of frenetic... Chris Potter is featured here on tenor, but make sure to pay attention to Benny Green's keyboard work. "Moment's Notice" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJxGmD7ePME&list=RDuaUTSUb1zXw&index=2 |
Lyle Mays passed away 13 months ago on February 10, 2020. As I went back to that month some of the members including me were also involved in a discussion about audio gear including cables. I found a post from rok here The Ten Biggest Lies in Audio - ecoustics.com Anyway getting back to Lyle Mays jafant first posted RIP which was followed by a couple Lyle Mays videos by acman and nothing more. I had posted material from the Lyle Mays 2 disc set the Ludwigsburg Concert many months prior to that and nobody responded but even I did not respond to his death. Maybe subconsciously I was thinking nobody likes him anyway who knows/cares? Getting to the point I wish Lyle Mays had taken more time away from his collaborations with Pat Metheny and did more acoustic music in a trio setting without the electric keyboards and synths. Besides the Ludwigsburg concert I have Mays’ fictionary which is a trio with Jack DeJohnette and Marc Johnson. These 2 albums with Mays on acoustic piano are probably the only ones that show how gifted he truly was. Mays, IMHO, is one of the greatest jazz pianist and composers to ever play the ivory. A true virtuoso. I guess he enjoyed composing and "noodling around" with Metheny on all those technically crazy albums with 23/9 times.....
