But there are plenty of people, then and now, who enjoy it. What might I still be missing? It’s a funk record, with only great tunes on it and a bit of jazz quality soloing. What’s not to love? 14 hours ago, HutchFan said: Wow. "Bleak" and "energy sapping" are not words one usually associates with Christmas music! He’s doing it wrong. It is just flaccid versions of slow paced choral Christmas carols. It’s horrible stuff. We didn’t celebrate Christmas in any meaningful way growing up. This year because of the grandkids my parents are experimenting with doing it with all the trimmings. The music is one experiment that is not working! Quote

What’s not to love? That it's not in the least bit funky? Not even a teense. Next time I get to it, I'm trying HuchFan's "airy" angle. That's one I haven't tried yet Quote
jazzbo Posted December 25, 2023 Report Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) Miles Davis “Pangaea” Sony Blu-Spec CD2, 2023 This, like the Blu-Spec CD and the previous Blu-Spec CD2, is the release without the extra minutes of noise at the end, and a DSD transfer. Sounds awesome! Edited December 25, 2023 by jazzbo Quote

jazzbo Posted December 25, 2023 Report Posted December 25, 2023 Horace Tapscott “The Dark Tree 1 & 2” Disc the first. It’s been a long time since I have heard this. The system sounds so much better now, I’m enjoying the listen a bit more. Quote
