I bet Kummbwa will sound fantastic with your new DAC. đ
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.

Well, we shall see... Having already auditioned three well-reviewed DACs without being particularly knocked out, my expectations are inevitably somewhat muted. I won't get the cables I've ordered from the Cable Company's lending library until I've had the DAC for about a week as they are currently checked out. In the meantime, I will hook it up the Merason and keep it running with some "nothing special" cables I have lying around. I don't know how long it's been sitting on the shelf at TMR. Six months? I was told no one else had auditioned it since they got it in so it may need some time to "wake up". I'm really hoping this DAC will be the one that synergizes with my system.

This is a fascinating youtube video of:
Funny thing is, as a kid growing up, we called this type of latin rhythm a Boogaloo.
@curiousjim I hope you like this... Good on you on getting the Merason. I sold my Laiv Harmony ”dac to save up for itâs big brother the Laiv Harmony dac. And to @frogman, good to hear from you!

Discovering these two Bassists is like and as much similar to when I first discovered Ron Carter. Thank you. Niels Pedersen & Sam Jones - Double Bass (1976).
