Posted on 12/09/2001 6:56:18 PM PST by Big Guy and Rusty 99

my choices in no particular order:

miles davis - kind of blue
charles mingus - black saint and the sinner lady
john coltrane - a love supreme
duke ellington - the webster-blanton years
the quintet - live at massey hall
sonny rollins - saxophone colossus
bill evans - live at the village vanguard

I suspect you're tastes run similar to mine...I prefer melody with form and resolution. What I used to call progressive jazz is just too much all over the map. But I do see the musicality in it...just makes my ankle tire from trying to find the beat.

I agree. On 839 on DSS there's light jazz. It's fine . but on 840, there's jazz. It sounds like a band tuning up.

Never use it...has a flat sound to it. I've got a pretty nice separates system, so I try to use the capabilities.

I'm 48. When I was 7, I played at the Saenger theater in New Orleans. I've been playing professionally ever since. I'm almost retired now, but I still play almost every weekend. I bought a farm. I have a little more that 200 beef cows on 400 acres. I've had three planes. 2 Cessna's and a Beechcraft. My friend was just killed a week before thanksgiving in a plane crash. He was playing in a Always Patsy Cline show at the Grand Casino in Biloxi. Even he made around 3k a week....He played on tons of albums too. He played for Hank Jr. for a few years. I miss him...But I sure enjoy a good argument, as you can tell....lol

Yeah, goes directly into my pre-amp but I noticed a flat unatural sound. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a noticable drop off around the 18,000 frequency range. Could be my Definitive Technology tower speakers...I've heard things through them I've never heard before on CD's. I highly recommend them if you like bi-polar speakers.

There's my problem...it sounds "okay". The system I have now has shown me what I've been missing. Okay, doesn't get it for this media snob...unless it's for background music, which is pretty much how I see light jazz anyway. Besides, the chicks like it with a few candles burning...so my buddy tells me.
