We were out skiing this weekend. Saturday here in Ontario (at Georgian Bay), and Sunday near Rochester, NY. It's the latest that the hills have...

Might be the same guy...looks like a similar style to some stuff Punch put out. Funny fellow :)

Good one! Is that from an old Punch magazine? My Dad used to subscribe, so that cartoonist looks familiar.

Grant -- Yes, crap weather indeed, for April. No one here can remember a wintry storm like this so late in the spring. April is usually wonderful...

Bad storm here, lasted 2 days, just ended. Tens of thousands of people without power, trees and power lines down. About 6" of ice pellets on the...

This weekend's forecast for Toronto and S. Ontario: 20mm freezing rain, then snow and ice pellets, 60 - 80 km/hr winds. Spring feels a long way off :(

Horace Silver, Doin' the Thing, Live at the Village Gate:

Al - Thanks for posting that. I'm an avid photographer, old school film shooter, vintage cameras, black and white darkroom, a bit of colour shooting...

Good one Barry - brilliant album. I heard this one recently, Jessica Lauren Kofi Nomad, and as soon as the opening chord started it reminded me of...

Here in Toronto we are very lucky to have a 24/7 local jazz FM radio station, 91.1 (Jazz.fm on the web if you want to stream live). Every Saturday...

Good albums there, Barry. I'm not familiar with that Miles Davis one...will listen tonight. I'm no Sinatra fan either, but much to my surprise,...

For those Sennheiser owners still using the original cables, this might be of interest: https://www.headfonia.com/sennheiser-hd-cables-comparison/...

Interesting comment Martin, and those re. some TTs sounding like digital. I've been contemplating the next steps in tweaking my Heybrook TT2, and...

Gee Werner, I don't think I'd know a binaural recording if it walked up and hit me on the head :scratch: I wonder if I even have any of those...? ...

Good one - thanks Grant. Very clean and uncluttered. I'll look into that when the time comes...

Good one - thanks. I'll be setting up an old laptop for PC audio sometime later this year as part of a second system. Heard good things about...

Well, I shall carry on enjoying my old HD424's, which sound substantially better now that I made up a new cable for them. They've always been very...

Grant, you've got me listening to Blues now. Never been a big fan, except for the Chicago style bands. Some of your posts are of really good stuff,...

+1 Agree with this, but it depends on the arm on your Rega. Assuming it's a later model RB arm, and not the original S-shaped R-200, then I would...

Interesting comment, Werner. I have the HD-424, which were made around the same time as the 414's and were supposed to be slightly better-sounding,...

Yes -- a few Roxy songs, and at least one of Ferry's solo works. Will play that later today... Looking forward to it!

Whoa! Bryan Ferry does jazz? Gotta hear that! Roxy Music is one of my favourite bands, ever, and Ferry's solos albums are also in my LP collection. ...

BTW, it turns out that this album came out of the Piano Jazz radio show interview with Costello :) ...

Glad you like it Adam. Marian McPartland is a gem, the grand dame of jazz piano as she's known around here. BTW, I listened to Bill Evans' On...

:D

This chat is interesting. It's making me wonder how my old 1970's-era HD-424 sound compared to the new ones like the HD-600/650? Especially with the...

Didn't know of that one either :). Lots of new stuff to listen to. Love this thread!

Adam, since you're into piano jazz, are you familiar with Marian McPartland? She also has a wonderful touch on the keyboard. And check out her radio...

My mistake -- there was no Saturday night session...just checked Wikipedia: ...
