How do the CD and audiophile high price vinyl compare?
The first time (few times?) I heard A Love Supreme, I loved it, but didn't have a clue what was going on! Maybe try some of Coltrane's stuff between GS and ALS? Coltrane (the album with the blue cover) is one that grabbed me early on.
Thank you, out of the two, Mingus is the best for me. Coltrane a bit of a reach? I will continue to listen though. Next thing to do is find the Mingus on vinyl as its my listening medium. Maybe I'm just a "fusion" kind of person?
Having now watched a few of his you tube vids cant understand how I missed him, right up my street. Thank you Just goes to prove its always good to ask!
He's easy to miss. Nearly all his work is on ECM and purist jazz labels, rather than the more obvious rock and fusion ones. At times, I think he is my favourite guitarist. Bill Frisell was, but I'm less keen on his Americana-flavoured material.
I have this album and just love it. along with schooldays and if this guitar could only talk? Thank you. Miles Davis I struggle with. Moments of brilliance and then........lost.
You know what, I'm unsure, Trumpet isn't my first choice. Not sure about some of it but will give it further listening. I have always been driven by the bass and guitar. Pathetic I know. Thank you for your time. I think its time to cease, as I think I am possibly wasting your knowledge and time.
You're never wasting my time. It's a pleasure thinking differently about music.
Saying you're driven by bass and guitar reminds me of when I used to think I liked music with electric bass, but not with acoustic bass. Which makes me wonder how that barrier melted for me. And it also reminds me that it doesn't matter if there is what I'm thinking of as a barrier.
For me, music is a lifelong journey of exploration. For others, music is a source of comfort, fun, sociability... lots of different experiences.
I have found the journey you have given me rewarding. Not always to my taste, but interesting just the same. Yes, comfort, fun and exploration is rewarding. To be honest as you say "lots of different experiences" mine is very different to yours, that's how it should be I think ? Its always nice for me to hear something new. A grand recharge, very much needed.
Ordered from Discogs and waiting for, Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk on vinyl. We will see as the youtube stuff was a little bit addictive. Not much choice in my price range I have to add!
Quite well I think. Listened to them both a few times and started to understand/enjoy more than I thought I might previously, so well done for the recommendation. I have to confess I haven't "listened" to music for several weeks now, it happens some times. Reverted back to my other love of reading with radio paradise in the background bringing up whatever. That and going thru Sky Arts back catalogue of portrait/landscape artist of the year and the architecture ones. The music will return, it always does when its ready!
I like them both, the monk is just short snappy renditions. Witch I like. The miles I will have to investigate, for the other albums you mention. I believe you don't use vinyl and I'm not surprised, particularly with regard to price and decent copies offered on web sites. For me its the the medium I grew up with and love, so it takes a bit longer.
Purchased a couple more "monk" to day from the interweb, man prices for so called VGC original vinyl isn't cheap No wonder people stream, lets hope they are mint! as I really don't want to go to the dark side! Whatever happened to WHSmiths and sorting through the sale items? Before most of your time I suspect.
At his best, Mingus has everything. He bridged Ellington and the avant-garde, composed and improvised, while being probably the greatest double bassist of all time.

And I like it.
I even own it (twice).
I also have A Love Supreme. Which I find a little...inaccessible.
Possibly John McLaughlin's finest hour?
I hope you enjoy it.
No, I'm 100% digital, but don't tell Colin
I'm sticking with cheap digital.
