We're shooting for September 10, but before we launch the new site we'll need to shut down the current site from September 6 - 9. This will give us time to transition some content and conduct functionality testing. Once the new site is up and running we'll still need to incorporate additional content. Please do let us know your thoughts and comments. AND DON'T MISS OUR SPECTACULAR DOUBLE PRIZE GIVEAWAY HAPPENING AT OUR SEPTEMBER 15th SWEET VINYL - KIRMUSS RECORD CLEANER EVENT!!! See below for details. Thanks! Larry Deniston [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Chasing Perfection By Albert Dall Hello, and Warm Greetings to the SFAS Membership! Lo and behold, it is nearly Fall on the calendar! And yet, these busy times with work, school, and family life, come with cooler evenings and longer nights that lend themselves to more listening time. Yay! I've been thinking about all of our club events and manufacturer's presentations and how we strive for the betterment and perfection of our systems. There's the reward of research, consideration of components, system layout, and tweaking of the setup. All these factors, lead to some amazing listening experiences. We hear them at home, we see them at shows, we visit manufacturers, and we get to do demonstrations at our club events, all with the goal of making our systems sound more real and involving. But is there ever enough? Don't we all dream of the next speakers, or component, or room, or house, all in the name of better sound and music? I know I do! Literally, I have dreams about listening to music, and sometimes about live performances by my favorite musicians. In dreamland, the music is always perfect! Perfect pitch, perfect balance, perfect stage, and depth. I want this in my home too. That is much easier said than done. I am always looking for and wondering what I can do to make my system sound as good as some of the wonderful setups I've heard over the years. As was demonstrated at Joe Hakim's and the CMS presentation last month, every piece in a system contributes to the total listening experience. When paired correctly, components, cables, isolation racks, footers, room treatment, all add up to a whole that is greater than the sum of individual parts. And no individual piece will give the magic. It takes a whole system with a synergistic effect to make that happen. Lately, to this end, I've been toying with the idea of swapping the positions of my listening couch and speakers. This will be a lot of work. As a first try to see what it might sound like, I've thought of running some long speaker cables from amps to the "new" speaker position about 17ft away. That should give me a basic idea if I'm moving, in the right direction. I'll let you all know if it turns out to be an improvement. This idea of flipping the listening/speaker positions came about a few weeks ago as friends were over for dinner and music. Yes, the amps were warmed up nicely, and wonderful jazz music of Pat Martino played through the house. As always happens, the guests congregated in the kitchen and dining area. The music sounded full, spatial, and natural. After dinner, as my high school buddy and I sat on the couch for some critical listening, the depth and width of stage went away. Bass too. What the heck? We thought we should experiment with finding just the right position of body and speaker. First, we started by turning the speakers 90 degrees so they faced each other, then we took turns sitting directly between them. There was a lot to like! We felt like we were on to something. Progressively we moved the listening spot back into the room and turned the speakers to point at the listener. We eventually found a very nice listening position while sitting on the floor, back against the listening couch's "sweet spot," with the speakers pointed over left and right shoulder. Then, as we raised the height of our preferred position to be equal to sitting on the couch. Bass, definition, and depth of stage went away. It was that position, AND height, that made all the difference! My room cancels things out at an ear height of 38 inches when centered between the walls and 1/3 depth of the living space. It turns out that the dimensions of my living room, and the physics of sound, makes the audio room and home I've built for the last ten years NOT ideal for listening. IN THAT SPOT! So, in the quest for better (perfect) sound, I'm willing to change the whole layout of my living room. I might even change houses! That's how important it is! I imagine a lot of you might feel the same way. So, as I said, I'll let you know how things turn out. And, please, share your own experiments and results. Enjoy your Fall listening!

  • Prologue: “I Made Things Work”
    Prologue: “I Made Things Work” The chartered bus carrying impresario Norman Granz and his Jazz at the Philharmonic troupe pulled into the parking lot of the Regent Restaurant in Jackson, Michigan, about sixty-five miles west of Detroit, with a cou- ple of hours to spare before their appearance at the Jackson County Audi- torium on Monday, October 6, 1947. Granz and JATP, as the national concert tours were already known by legions of fans, had been building a reputation for fiery jam sessions of all-star musicians in integrated set- tings since the concerts had begun in his hometown of Los Angeles in July 1944. The bus that night carried Granz, who emceed his shows, and a lineup including tenor saxophonists Coleman Hawkins and Flip Phillips, trumpeter Howard McGhee, trombonist Bill Harris, pianist Hank Jones, drummer J. C. Heard, and bassist Ray Brown—all dressed in tuxedos—as well as the equally resplendent former Count Basie singer Helen Humes. What unfolded at the diner was vintage Granz. An increasingly vocal provocateur on the subject of racism, he had begun campaigning in 1947 for antisegregation contracts across the touring band circuit and without blinking had turned down $100,000 in bookings by promoters who could not abide his terms. As always, it was a headache (though one he gladly bore) finding hotels and restaurants that would accom- modate the racially mixed group. Granz and company often operated from Detroit’s black Gotham Hotel as a temporary hub for concerts in neighboring cities as he strung together smaller dates across the country in between big paydays in the major cities.

  • Eddie Preston: Texas Trumpeter Fallen Through the Cracks Dave Oliphant
    Eddie Preston: Texas Trumpeter Fallen Through the Cracks Dave Oliphant 8 Photo of Eddie Preston from the album Charles Mingus in Paris. Courtesy Christian Rose and Sunnyside Communications. Identifying a jazz musician’s place of birth has interested me ever since my parents gave me a copy of Leonard Feather’s 1962 The New Edition of The Encyclopedia of Jazz. Some thirty years later it became essential for me to know which musicians hailed from my home state of Texas, once I had taken on the task of writing about Texans in jazz history. As a result of this quest for knowledge, I discovered, among other things, that guitarist, trombonist, and 9 composer-arranger Eddie Durham was born and raised in San Marcos, home to Texas State University. Although I never worked my way systematically through the Feather encyclopedia or any subsequent volumes devoted to the identification of musicians’ places and dates of birth, I mistakenly felt confident that I had checked every musician on any album I had acquired over the years to see if he or she was a native Texan. Following the 1996 publication of Texan Jazz, my survey of Texas jazz musicians, I discovered a few Texans and their recordings that I had not been aware of previously. When the opportunity arose, I included them in other publications, such as my 2002 study The Early Swing Era, 1930 to 1941, and my essay “Texan Jazz, 1920- 1950,” included in The Roots of Texas Music. Despite my best efforts to trace the origins of the many jazz musicians I chronicled, it took years before I realized that Eddie Preston (a trumpeter who was born in Dallas in 1925 and died in Palm Coast, Florida, in 2009) was a native of the Lone Star State.

  • Ella Fitzgerald from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Ella Fitzgerald From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Ella Jane Fitzgerald Born April 25, 1917 Newport News, Virginia, United States Died June 15, 1996 (aged 79) Beverly Hills, California, United States Genres Swing, bebop, traditional pop, vocal jazz Occupation(s) Singer, actress Instruments Vocals Years active 1934–1993 Labels Capitol, Decca, Pablo, Reprise, Verve, Brunswick, HMV Website ellafitzgerald.com Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an American jazz singer often referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen of Jazz, and Lady Ella. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing. After tumultuous teenage years, Fitzgerald found stability in musical success with performances on many stages in the Harlem area, including her rendition of the nursery rhyme "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" that helped boost her to fame. In 1942, Fitzgerald left the amateur performances behind, signed a deal with Decca Records, and started her solo career by redefining the art of scat singing. It was not until her manager, Norman Granz, built Verve Records based on her vocal abilities that she recorded some of her more widely noted works. Under this label, Fitzgerald focused more on singing than scatting, providing perhaps her most career-defining works in her interpretation of the Great American Songbook. While Fitzgerald appeared in movies and as guests on popular television shows in the second half of the twentieth century, her musical collaborations with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Bill Kenny and the Ink Spots were some of her most notable acts outside of her solo career.
