In Reply to: Maybe not all that far apart. posted by Rick W on March 25, 2007 at 09:54:31:
Nice post, Rick. I agree with your points right down the line.Love those Minuettos. They were one of the reasons I was so keen on first hearing, then buying, the Amati homages. The Sonus faber sound does it for me....
Good story about getting hooked on jazz. For me it was finding my dad's copy of Brubek's "Time Out" that did it. Fresh on the heels of burning out on Sex Pistols and Joy Division. Well, there's no acounting for taste. Now it's almost exclusively jazz. Duke Ellington "This One's for Blanton" spinning right now. What a recording....
Too bad Avocat himself can carry on a good disagreement without getting personal! Otherwise I'd really be enjoying myself right now....
Cheers Rick. Enjoy what's left of the weekend.
