OK, I know this is heresy for you jazz aficionados but I can’t listen to any of this guy’s stuff. It’s fingernails on chalkboard to me. Maybe it gets better after a minute or so. I wouldn’t know; I’ve never stuck with it for that long.
I LOVE John Coltrane! Miles Davis too! Haters go suck an egg! LOL!
WOW! I am well aware of JC, but never listened. I am a listener NOW! Thx for the nudge!!
Rudy Van Gelder was a legendary jazz recording engineer...and for good reason - always super high audio quality.
Wiki: "His recording techniques are often admired by his fans for their transparency, clarity, realism, warmth and presence."
Wiki: "From 1999, he remastered the analog Blue Note recordings he made several decades earlier into 24-bit digital recordings in its RVG Edition series. He was positive about the switch from analog to digital technology. He told Audio magazine in 1995."
Now that the pipelines are being blocked by our friends on the Left, we need more Coltranes.
(Coltrane is about as off-the-wall as I can appreciate; Ornette Coleman and Sun Ra is pure drek.)
I am not a super jazz fan but as a lad growing up not too far from New Orleans I was exposed of course the Dixieland jazz quite a bit so it brings back fond memories but the jazz I do like is fusion jazz with Billy Cobham Stanley Clarke and Tommy Bolin but of slightly earlier jazz I probably prefer Miles Davis to John Coltrane but I am not an expert on Jazz
I am no Hefner jazz wise he was a fanatic
I remember the resurgence in the early to mid 70s of jazz with things like Grover Washington and Stanley Turrentine and of course it kind of started with the spectrum album anyhow my mother like jazz and she liked early rock ‘n’ roll like the 50s
I’m on the front porch beautiful middle Tennessee fall morning around 60 degree having a la Gloria Cubana I think I will put Spectrum on my outdoor speaker
I’m listening to Strata from Spectrum right now
Fusion
Some melody
I never do not like Tommy Bolin
A bright light
Too bright obviously
Title really confused me. Rob Coltrain just died a few hours ago.
