This one has 20 hours from every track played on the show and is a damn good primer.A good intro to classic Jazz would be any Bosch TV series inspired playlist on Qobuz or Tidal.

Pssssshhh. As if any of those guys know anything about Miles...And one more for you fine folks...
I saw it last time I was in my local. I'll pick it up and try it!Yeah. Quite enjoyed it and fair at MSRP. Itās not allocated, so should be easy to track down.
It is interesting. Since getting my Freya N (with stock tubes), I've mostly landed on the thinking of: Critical Listening = Tubes on. Laid back listening while gaming (driving or shooting games) or reading or some such, that = SS 4x gain. But every now and then I leave it on SS and listen more intently and still really enjoy the engaging sound a lot! And honestly, I'm not sure I can tell much of a difference between them in most listening seshes anyway. But my mind makes me think that tube mode has got to be more special because it's, well, tubes duh! HahaI am thankful to have an ear for both SS and tube gain. Tubes can bring an aura to the music that I am happy to perceive. I went for almost a year in SS on my Freya (N) before I really discovered the tube side of the equation. I still mainly run SS but when I really want to relax and take in the music, it is tube time.
$39.95That is a cool cutting board. Trippy!
I am pleased the Rye did ya good. Out of curiosity, how much was the bottle? I never know how much it varies across the States. It's $50 in Oregon no matter where you buy it, unless on sale.
Trombone Shorty - for more up tempo New Orleans style. There is a pretty good YouTube video of him and Wynton Marsalis going at it. While trombone is in his name - spends more time on trumpet.Care to make a few suggestions?
That's the best review of Chet Baker that I've ever read, and it was only one sentence! Bravo!Chet Baker Sings (He canāt actually sing, but there is a certain charm in how he tries.)
I do the same, but not for your reason. All our tube gear that is solely tube gear gets turned on and off every time, and i certainly plan on using them for years. Just figure passive mode is fine to leave on.Quick Freya+ / N questions...
Anybody else leave their Freya + or N on 24x7? I leave mine powered on and just switch to SS passive mode to cut tubes off. I only power off if heading out on vacay or if there are T-Storms in the area.
Any danger in leaving it on all the time? I'm of the opinion that the power rush on turn-on is more taxing on gear than leaving it on. Am I wrong?
Yea, I remember being impressed with Wallace Roney's playing in that Miles Davis / Quincy Jones concert DVD. VERY late Miles playing his big band era stuff - with Roney playing alot of the bits.Pssssshhh. As if any of those guys know anything about Miles...
There is a SS section. And apparently Jason wasted his time on it.Wait! Freya N has a solid state mode!?
I've never listened to SS passive or SS active mode since getting mine. Tubes only.
Any time I need to listen but know it's less than, say, an hour? Not wasted!There is a SS section. And apparently Jason wasted his time on it.
Chet Baker was an excellent trumpet player and a more than adequate singer. I very much enjoy his voice. Some describe it as kinda-sort androgynous. Some. Not me. His voice is well suited to his style of singing. Johnny Mathisā voice is one of my all time favorites and as Chetās was tailored to his style so too was/is Mathisā. Another example of a singer with a voice that was suited to his catalog of songs is Ed Ames.Here are some of my picks:
Coleman Hawkins āAt Ease with Coleman Hawkinsā
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messangers āThree Blind Miceā
Chet Baker Sings (He canāt actually sing, but there is a certain charm in how he tries.)
Ornette Coleman āThe Shape of Jazz To Comeā more āout thereā than a lot of Jazz, but very good.
Django Reinhardt
Bill Evans āThe Complete Village Vanguard 1961ā
Leon Sash āThis is The Jazz Accordionā - Ideal if you like jazz but feel there just isnāt enough accordion in it.
Henry Mancini āThe Pink Panther Themeā. Very well done Pop-Jazz
Herbie Hancock āHeadhuntersā Actually most of Hancockās work is worth listening to.
Joe Henderson
Oscar Peterson āNight Trainā
Wayne Shorter āBeyond the Sound Barrierā
And many othersā¦
