| Patricia Barber "Verse" released and online I'm a Patricia Barber fan and bought this without hearing it. I was disappointed because it is what it says it is..verse and as the earlier responder commented, reminds me of the beat poetry of the late 50s. I think she is at her best when she sin... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Pbb..yep Chet Baker is truly great but you were right about the trumpet. They probably had to let him play it in order for him to agree to sing. | |
| How much does your system retail for? I paid 5000 for mine and I'm not really sure that putting significantly more money into it would make it sound that much better. I have considered trying to make it sound better by additions but when I listen to it... I think why? | |
| Best female vocals on CD Make that Jacintha's "Lush Life" and Jennifer Warnes "the well"... My mistake but in any case you can't go wrong. | |
| Recommended female vocalists? Jennifer Warnes, Patricia Barber, Diane Krall, Norah Jones, Patricia Monheit, Shirley Horn (not all), Blossum Dearie (if you can find it),and Jacintha (buy any you can). There are others but it is a hit and miss situation. Outside of Jazz, Crystal... | |
| Jazz Recommendations Maynard Fergurson's "Master of the stratisphere" has got to be up there with one of the best. The number 8 recording is taken from the very famous opera (forgot the name) that Caruso is always heard singing which is to demonstrate his greatness. I... | |
| Best female vocals on CD I just bought Jennifer Warnes "lush life" and once again I must admit I was mistaken... She has a wonderful voice and sings beautifully. In my earlier posting, I recommended Lorrie Morgan's "Secret Love".. She is a country singer and this album is... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! There is a piano playing in my living room and it was brought to me by onkyo Dx-v787 and a pair of Klipsch SB2 speakers...now this is not my main system and I use it for home theater...(I have a subwoofer with this setup and another much more expe... | |
| If You Could Only Keep 3-CD's LP's , Which Ones? 1."Band on the Run" Paul McCartney 2. "Secret Love" Lorrie Morgan and 3. "Wish you were here" Pink Floyd ... you want to think of longer albums, don't you. Albums with 20 songs would be better. | |
| Best female vocals on CD if you haven't heard Lorrie Morgan's Secret love and the Dianne Schuur's Swingin'for Schuur... you should add them to your collection... Patricia Barber, Mary Timmins, Lucinda Williams, and Diana Krall for sure... I have to agree with those who ma... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Try Diane Schuur (especially "Swingin'for schuur") Patricia Barber (any of hers), The best of Joan Baez, The best of Crystal Gail ("I'll get over you") Margo Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies (any of them) and finally Lucinda Williams (any also). Thes... | |
| Recommended CD of " Smooth Jazz " celtic66 hit it above....the "Jazz for..." series is very good and the best is "Jazz for when you are alone." I recommend it highly. | |
| Law of Diminishing Returns; where does it kick in? I'm a relatively newby to the more mid range Hi-fi equipment so what I'm about to say may stroke some of you out with my stupidity and inexperience. I have a yamaha rx-v3000 reciever with two front B&W cm4s and two bose speakers high on the wa... | |
| Jazz Recommendations I have a question...does anyone know of any cd's similar to the seledtions on Patricia Barbara's "Cafe Blue". I bought quite a few cd's recommended on best female vocalist list and I didn't particularily enjoy her vocals and almost threw it away u... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century If you are asking about the best male vocals....no doubt and hands down it is Roy Orbison (many very good singers gave him that distinction when he was alive), Elvis next, and Nat king Cole last... People who aren't into rock I'm sure won't agree ... |
