What Jazz or Blues are you spinning?

I have both versions and only recently acquired the 'complete' version in a charity shop, bought out of interest in hearing live recording of the Miles Davis nonet.

Not sure what vocalese is but I do like the scat in In Walked Bud by Thelonius Monk if that's what you mean?

No, 'scat' is the singing of nonsense words (for example: "be bab a do wha") as lyrics. It was naturally invented by Ella Fitzgerald when she forgot the actual lyrics to a song she was singing and sustituted scat in their place.

'Vocalese' is different, it is a style or musical genre of jazz singing in which words are added to an instrumental soloist's improvisation. I find it mawkish and syrupy and dislike it enormously.

Excellent choice Dave - but what have you done to the platter of your Lenco? :scratch:

Are you alluding to the fact that I have stacked platters? If so then I did it many years ago.
I had to upgrade the bearing to a new one especially made for the job. And of course I had to add a longer spindle.
Both were aquired through 'Lenco Heaven'.

Yes it was the stacked platters. At first glace it looks as though you had turned your GL75 into an autochanger. ;)

What is the advantage of a stacked platter?

Well apart from the fact it looks damned cool.

It further detaches the motor from the stylus more giving a more inky blackness to the background.
The original Lenco platter was prone to ringing a bit. The weight of two platters with Garrard platter rings between them stops all that.
It's also supposed to give a bigger more precide soundstage.

As with all things though everything is subjective.
