Stanley Jordan

I am envious as hell.  Have a fantastic time.

Been watching that video you provided, some great stuff there!  

I'm doing some research into whether continued exposure to high-bitrate, low-quality audience documents of live music, over time, has a detrimental effect on human hearing.

Op has provided some excellent stimuli for analysis. Very poor quality sound, maxed-out volume, seemingly complete lack of dynamic range... anecdotally speaking, I skipped the emasculated guitar noodling at the beginning of this document, and found some of Cobham's outstanding drumwork to hone in on, listened in for about 6-7 seconds, and a minute or two later, am just now shaking off the dull "hiss" that accompanies listening to too much of this kind of thing.

Listener beware, can't be good for you.

Thanks for the link, OP.

aww, internet man crushes are so cute.

have a great time at the show.

Youre just sore that my feelings for you have cooled, 'Cross.

You just don't bring anything to the table these days...

>> The listening inadequacies and fatigue you experience Ateix is most definitely from the crackle, bump and pops of a 20-year-old vinyl played through a cheap stereo.

They made original BLP mono recordings in 1998? Interesting. Lol

Funny thing about your diatribe, it's pretty much a spot on description how I feel about you every time you open your fucking yap.

Low rent motherfucker!

What I see on display here, is an all-out inability to discuss the document linked in OP, and instead of discussing the subject, have made the discussion the subject.

Very interesting. Sad; indicative of low brain activity; but, interesting – again, from an analytical standpoint.

Look at you...

Stay at Holiday Express last night?

You ALWAYS choose to shit on others music opinion that doesn't align with yours.

You could've just refrained, but you chose not too.

Low rent!

I'm talking about dynamic range, T.O.D. I'm not talking about opinion, I'm talking about science.

Bluelight is a video producer or audio engineer, I think? He should be able to explain it to you, if you can't figure out it.

>> As far the video I played for it 12 minutes (Billy's drum solo) and was very impressed.

Or, maybe not.

Dude seems stoked to go to the show. Asks "anyone else" going.

Puts a link up.

YOU decide to shred the video he puts up.

Thanks for the "science"!

Wow.

Low rent AF!

I wish there was more than one Stanley Jordan video on the internet.

I can see this is really bothering you T.O.D.

Maybe jazz guitar is not really the thing for you?

Possibly some 80s thrash/crossover punk might help with all that pent-up.. I dunno, whatever it is ya got going on. God bless.

>>> I can see this really bothering you T.O.D.

Just so we're clear, it's not the thread I've gotta problem with, it's YOU!

So keep shining that positive light cupcake, your positivity knows no bounds.

Indeed, I definitely pegged the wrong issue when I said low-bitrate. As you say, it's just a piss poor recording, maxed out to approximate high def.

Thanks for actually discussing the subject, instead of resorting to ad hominems! Maybe we can actually get a real conversation going here!

edit: T.O.D., I'm lighting a candle for you, big boy.

>> No it is very good and you are very wrong

You misread what I wrote. It's understandable, not everything translates well to the written word, especially when one is all fired up and emotional.

What I am saying, is that I would defer to your professional experience with audio engineering (that's you, right?) insofar as the quality of the video is really, really, poor. I was not commenting on the playing.

And, anyway, I don't know how someone's opinion could be objectively "wrong," if I did decide that I found Cobham's playing subpar.

Again, I'm talking numbers here. Science. Poor video quality. That's all.

Is low rent an insult?

In this context, I think it is being used as one.

>>Is low rent an insult?

Depends on the neighborhood

I finally got to see him in a small venue , up close and personal a while back !  I have never witnessed the Ardmore so quiet you could hear a pin drop, it was amazing how he had us all in his beautiful grip and waiting, wondering what was next :) I even got to speak with him a bit afterwards....I had a wonderful  time !  


Have been a fan for a while and will go whenever he plays there again. 

I remember buying my first Stanley Jordan album back in the mid 80's.  I was just perusing the record store when I saw his album.  I bought it because there was a sticker on the album that said "One guitarist, one take, no overdubs".  I wondered why they had to put that on the album.  When I got home and listened to it, I was blown away, and I understood why they needed the sticker.  It sounded like 2 guitarists and a bassist.  

I need to see him live.  I can't believe I haven't.
