Birth of the cool: Miles Davis move coming out.
Dmitry replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Miscellaneous Music
It wasn't much of a thread. More like a public service announcement. -

Ran Blake and Jeanne Lee, The Newest Sound You Never Heard 1966-67
Dmitry replied to JSngry's topic in New Releases
Ran Blake is appearing with the Jeanne Lee tribute in Boston next week. http://www.getshowtix.com/regattabar/moreinfo.cgi?id=4082 -
If you are planning on cleaning many albums with this thing, wear ear protection.

We are back in action. It IS a very nice, very well-recorded session. And more adventurous than just the “jazzy” versions of the popular classical pieces. Knock on wood, we are running strong again. I was afraid the teeeters would be blown, but all is well. I don’t know what caused it still, the only thing I can think of is that pink noise test cd. I must’ve cranked it up to Too high. My beef now is with the availability of such mundane things as 2.5 amp fuses. Since the Radio Shack is gone, there’s no place to buy minor electronic parts other than the automotive stores and the giant home centers. Naturally, they don’t carry the 2.5 amp fuses, so I installed a 2 amp one, just to see if the tweeters were kaput. I miss the Rat Shack. We used to take it for granted.

I’ll do it, if you guide me through the process.

It’s sold out now. Maybe I made a mistake not ordering it...

Not facetious, just not a surf music connoisseur. I also see there were The Eagles too.

THE Wailers of Bob Marley fame? On the same bill with the surf dudes?! You were lucky to see the last original Ventures, man.

Thanks for the review.

I played Disc 1 twice yesterday. It's captivating. Looking forward to discussing the music. Her Ellington interpretations are so refreshingly-original. The Beatles cut...I guess it was a tribute to an immensely-popular hit. Even trying to inject some individualism into what everyone was covering then is commendable. And sexy. I hadn't listened to the lyrics of the Hard Day's Night until she sang it. She made it sound quite erotic. The service was awesome also. I got mine within a couple of days of ordering. They also sent a free bonus disk of Persian music, which i haven't played yet.. -
What do the black lines represent on this diagram? Like the very top end of voices, and the very low end of tuba.

I tried to play this - , but it sounded very poor, muffled and just generally crappy, so I figured out it was the speakers. Turns out both 2.5 amp tweeter fuses are blown. I recently played a test cd with pink noise, I don't know if that's what did it. I cranked it up all the way, hoping I could hear at 12kHz. I hope it's just the fuses. Anyway, just picked up the above LP by Roland Hanna and George Mraz - ROMANESQUE . It's probably very good.

You will not regret it. It’s a feast for the ears and the brain. I’ve just listened to the first 10 songs from disc 1, and it’s everything you’d hope it to be..something quite different! -

Who plays the trumpet on Dale's Miserlou? It sounds Latin American to me. Speaking of the surf rock, I was contemplating seeing The Ventures here last year, but they are more like a cover band now, even though some of the current band members have played with Don Wilson and Nokie Edwards.

Went to see an ENT for an audiology exam, had my ears cleaned [one had a huge wax ball,which looked disgusting, the other ear had very little...don't know why such a disparity]. Sadly, their unit only measures up to 8kHz, so I went ahead and bought a test cd with pink noise up to 20kHz. So now I know I can't hear beyond 11kHz. Would be interesting to know what's hiding in those upper frequencies, but that's not an option for me. All in all I'm satisfied with the results, considering that my work involves close proximity to high-pitched noise for 30+ hours per week. Highly recommend having your ears professionally-cleaned yearly!! I can definitely hear the difference now.

He wouldn’t just fake your kids’ water polo skills and pump up their SAT scores — college admissions scammer William “Rick” Singer could also fake your kid’s race. As part of his larger scheme to get low-performing rich kids into top colleges, Singer would sometimes falsify students’ ethnicities to give them an affirmative action advantage, according to a little-reported detail from his guilty plea before a federal judge in Boston. https://nypost.com/2019/03/15/alleged-college-scam-mastermind-even-faked-kids-ethnicities-docs-reveal/ -
I’d be surprised if it played anywhere other than at some peripheral festivals , and maybe in an art cinema or two. BN would be smart to stream it from their website. I’d pay $10 to watch it at home.
