JoeWhip Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Indeed, the best jazz vocal album ever. The singing is sublime but it is also Coltrane at his best. Audiophile Neuroscience 1 Link to comment

JoeWhip Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 No, I can’t sing but was pretty good twinkling the ivories when I was young. It helps that he looks like his mom, but gets his style from me! 😀 PYP 1 Link to comment

Popular Post JoeWhip Posted August 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2020 Karen Carpenter had a beautiful pure voice, no doubt. It is a shame she died so young. As for Britney vs. Mozart, will anyone remember her and her music in 300 years? The great music and performers stand the test of time.

JoeWhip Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 No Albrecht, Britney will be lost to the sands of time because the quality isn’t there. It will not be an oversight. There were tons of composers over the years in classical music who have been forgotten. The ones who wrote timeless music are remembered. To mention Ms. Spears in the same breath as Mozart is just Staggering, Audiophile Neuroscience 1 Link to comment
Popular Post JoeWhip Posted August 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2020 I must say that I never thought I would be in a thread arguing the relative merits of Mozart v. Britney Spears. Did I happen to fall into some alternate universe? Help me Obi Wan, you are my only hope. 😀 Audiophile Neuroscience, PYP, sphinxsix and 4 others 7 Link to comment

I saw Britney Spears in concert. Extremely entertaining. She was far better than Mozart. Prove me wrong. Well, when you saw her, Mozart had been dead for a few hundred years, so you are right in that respect. 🤠 Mayfair and Audiophile Neuroscience 2 Link to comment
JoeWhip Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Not to go even further off into the wilderness, but a question. Is a singer who uses auto tune to correct his or her pitchiness or flubs on recordings and even live really a singer? Now back to your regularly scheduled programming. Link to comment

JoeWhip Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Funny thing. I know plenty of Brits who have moved to the US. One family had two younger teenaged boys. They at first asked their dad how to lose the accent to fit in better, until they found out that the ladies loved it. There is a similar scene in the film Love Actually. Funny though, my American accent has never such an effect in the UK, which is fine as my wife wouldn’t particularly like that. BTW, the pic is of an advert on the Tube in London I took a few years ago. They have some great ones in the Tube but this is my favorite, AudioDoctor 1 Link to comment

Popular Post JoeWhip Posted September 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2020 Having had the privilege of seeing the restored and cleaned up Sistine Chapel, it gets my vote over The Dark Side of the Moon. The advantage the latter has though is accessibility. I do have to go to Rome to see the Sistine Chapel in all of its stick it in the eye of the Pope beauty where as the former, just need to go to Qobuz. As for Picasso, I have been to the Picasso Museums in Barcelona and Paris. Saw quite a few of his paintings at the Hermitage also. The cubist art doesn’t move me at all and most of it is too duplicative. However, his work as a young painter that I have seen, mostly portrait work, is spectacular, not to mention, the pencil porn drawings on yellow legal pad paper on display in Barcelona, which leave nothing to the imagination. He had the talent, even if I don’t care for the cubist stuff. gmgraves, Audiophile Neuroscience, PYP and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment
