Vinyls?

I don’t agree that once you buy, you are gone. I have my hi fi. No need to change anything but I spend hours a week watching KZbin videos on hi fi stuff. The interest is still always there to see and learn about new stuff.

I am not sure but I did not hear this critic use the most important words in Miles's creativity; improvisation, but I heard weird and other dumb stuff. He gave "All Blues" A Lukewarm review I don't trust him!

Nice perspective on high quality products backed and supported by a distributor who cares and is willing to find the right buyer.

Shtriker big band soundtrack is fantastic ❤❤❤

The ending to this video made no sense to me, in fact, it was just getting interesting.

I love Steve's point about how you can choose to spend your hifi money, like a lot of your money, with smaller, well-run, high quality family run companies, anywhere in the world. One of the many reasons I bought Devore Fidelity speakers is that that was where I wanted this big purchase money to go. Not some conglomerate with shareholders. Real people making really nice stuff. Really intrigued by this company Audia Flight, too, by the way!

No hobby has cuntier gatekeepers than high-end audio. Maybe polo. Maybe.

Hahaha, thanks for clarifying that operational thinking. I want to be out, I do not want to be a storytelling slave in Audio. I want to listen to my music I have and maybe a few more albums. I don’t need the best over and over. Just the best for me. Sell your Guru pieces that lack service while superfluous in arrogance to someone else. I’ve been Auditorium23 customer, I know that “storytelling” nonsense. What’s good is good and doesn’t turn bad, aside from use based degradation. Fed up of “you’re not ready”, “waiting for months”, “not contactability”, “religion talk”, “fragile stuff that can’t be repaired, only fully replaced”, single people that are available when selling, but later, no show, or sadly passed away, without proper continuation. High End Business. Naah! Lundahl, Shindo, Verdier, PHY-HP, … How do we move more is your driving too, may not be presented, but it’s p1, otherwise you wouldn’t look at storytelling marketing to keep your customers in your shop.

GM ☕️ from Toronto. I watched the vids from both Jason ( audio junkie) and Randy (Cheap Audioman ) ..great stuff and truly insightful. Thank you. Btw, any plans for coming up to the upcoming Toronto Audiofest?

Great festival at Marciac each summer

Southern France in summer is great for free music. Small towns and villages have a week of music, so you can go from one to the next. The have bands (orchestres) that have a huge repertoire everything from musette which is accordion dance music for the "oldies" early in the evening the moving on to (perhaps) trance towards midnight. Streets are closed to traffic. There is also the national Fête de la Musique 21st June (summer solstice).

What a fantastic video! So many titles! I learned so much so fast! Thank you Ken!

Steve Gadd can play swing more than you are giving him credit for. Check out Chet Baker album 'She was too Good to Me' on CTI. Two vocal tunes along with 5 swing standards, with 1 of them played by Jack Dejohnette. Also want to mention an Elvin album called 'Mr. Jones' on Blue Note, with Jan Hammer on electric and acoustic piano, no synths.

I used to love watching the old movies with Tito playing on stage... He was a fantastic player and a true showman...

Horacee Arnold is another unsung jazz drummer worth mentioning. His early 70’s albums (Tribe; Tales Of The Exonerated Flea) stand the test of time well.

Pure Gold

This guy’s TDS has infected his brain !!

'Shelly Manne and his Men play Checkmate' is one of may favourite jazz LPs. Those Contemporary records sound fantastic. Thanks Ken.

Has anyone heard Billy Cobham with Stanley Clarke (among others) on Live at the Greek? I have it on (bit bright) CD but it’s a great workout for bass & dynamics.

They sound thin compared to the analog pressing. So why a cheaper copy?

Love woody Herman

Great video, Ken. A few others came to mind: Drums Around the Corner (Art Blakey) and similar to Interstellar Space, Duo Exchange (Rashied Ali & Frank Lowe). Keep up the good work!

Vinyls??? Only Millennials or idiots refer to records as "vinyls"

I have the MOV Miles Davis album. I agree with you It is amazing.

I use their surfactant with mine and it works great. You only need a 5 minute dry cycle as well.

No such word as Vinyls 😉 , good video Ken .

Fascinating discs there, Ken. I have two copies of that Art Blakey & Thelonious Monk album; both terrible pressings! Was Phil Seamen ever on your radar?

Great! Thanks. I learned a lot from this one.

a couple of my favorite ``Klook `` recordings : Telfunken Blues and Bohemia After Dark a favorite Max Roach recording among many others: Max Roach 4 plays Charlie Parker

Loud little man !

Thank you for creating this channel just one request please play the buddy rich record the monster I was told buddy played so so much on this record called the monster please play it for me dedicate it to boom thank you

No Art Blakey? In neither videos? Sorry Ken, but I haven't heard better recorded drumming in my house

"vinyls" 😐

Great overview, thank you!

What happened with the master tapes?

I didn’t know ESP started out as a jazz label.

I got the Tito Puente record also on the black Tico label, great record !!!! Got to check out the other records....

Amazing turntables ❤ wow 😮, thank you for sharing Ken, just great !!!!

On the mountain is available directly from PM records, I think the found some boxes in Gene Perla's basement. Also . . . they have original copies of the promo posters with that picture of Elvin. Ken I hope to run into at JRC next week, I'm planning on stopping in on Friday, would love to meet you.

Love that Elvin lp!

Hi Ken, I'm a huge jazz drumming fan and really enjoyed your deep dive to lesser-known albums ( at last) by drummers that I know. Just one comment, there were not a lot of European drummers, one of my all-time favourites is Charly Antolini (Swiss) and in the US, Steve Smith is doing some amazing stuff as is Clayton Cameron (tasteful brushwork).

I hope you don't mind my asking, but what dish is it the thumbnail shows? All the best

I like Steve's jazz playing on The CTi milt Jackson record-Goodbye

I agree about Mel's playing which is kind of ironic that he had a massive ego in the best possible way.

It took you 14 mins, but you got to (as you must) Philly Joe Jones, Ken. Have you got 'Blues for Dracula'? He had a sense of humour too.🤣

Should have also included Horacee Arnold's 'Tale of an Exonerated Flea'

Love this, exploring lesser known albums!

Thanks, Ken, for sharing your knowledge and your passion! ❤ Also, thanks for including the actual list of records in the video description! 🎉😂👍👍 P.S. I consider the background sound of the city to be “a feature, not a bug!” All the best! P.P.S. Jo Jones, The Drums -is- on CD, and also on KZbin Music, to stream! 🎉
