  • VPI HR-X Turntable & JMW12.6 Tonearm
    stereophile.com http://www.stereophile.com/turntables/506vpi#5kC628WHPF3lKHV2.97 VPI HR-X turntable & JMW12.6 tonearm VPI Industries' TNT turntable and JMW Memorial tonearm have evolved through several iterations over the last two decades. Some changes have been large, such as the deletion of the three-pulley subchassis and the introduction of the SDS motor controller. Others have been invisible—a change in bearing or spindle material, for example, or the way the bearing attaches to the plinth. And, as longtime Stereophile readers know, I've been upgrading and evolving along with VPI, most recently reporting on the TNT V-HR turntable (Stereophile, December 2001). But about the time I was expecting the next iteration, designer Harry Weisfeld threw me a curve by unveiling a completely new turntable design, the HR-X. First shown in prototype form at Stereophile's Home Entertainment 2002 show in New York City, the HR-X is a stunning, milled-from-aluminum showcase of everything Weisfeld has learned from designing turntables for the past 25 years. Nuts & bolts Although the HR-X is a clean-slate design, it was obviously informed by the TNT. There are four corner towers with internal pneumatic bladders, a huge platter belt-driven by an outboard motor and flywheel, and a JMW tonearm mounted directly to a massive plinth. Beyond that basic configuration, however, everything is different— rethought, improved, optimized, and executed to the highest standard possible. It's immediately obvious that even VPI's workmanship and cosmetics have been raised to new levels: the TNT was well-built and solid; the HR-X is striking and sumptuous.

We have a mission, a commission, and an obligation to be the standard bearer for this beautiful classical art so that generations to come can view, enjoy, and appreciate the significance that culture has in our lives.

  • Ahmad Jamal Interview 16 November 2011
    Ahmad Jamal Interview 16 November 2011 Q: After some great albums for the Dreyfus label [Francis Dreyfus had died in 2010], you have moved to Harmonia Mundi’s Jazz Village label, so how did this new deal come about? AJ: It came about through Seydou Barry, an associate of mine, he is the first man to bring me to Marseilles, he arranged that session. Q: A lot of thought goes into an Ahmad Jamal album, so how did you conceptualise Blue Moon? AJ: Well, Blue Moon is an interesting project, it turned out much better that I anticipated. I think it is going to be received very well, I think it’s going to be of the calibre of 628 [Argo LP-628 But Not For Me: At the Pershing], my million seller that I did for Chess Records, sometime back. [In the event Blue Moon received a Grammy nomination] It’s comparable to that quality-wise, in fact, I think it is going to make on the recording industry. We need a shot and this is a shot for me, I’m with some brilliant musicians, as was the case with Vernel Fournier and Israel Crosby, so I have some brilliant musicians on this as well, Reginald Veal, on bass, Herlin Riley on drums and one of the great percussionists, Manolo Badrena, who was with Joe Zawinul’s Weather Report, so this is a very well thought out project Q: Well the song ‘Blue Moon’ is a lovely standard, its been around a while, as long as you, dare I say, since the 1930s if memory serves, so what was your approach to it? AJ: My approach was like I always do — I have ideas that are catalysts for arrangements and I had an idea at home playing on one of my Steinways, I have two at home, and this particular time I was playing a line that was dictated by ‘Blue Moon’, so I wrote this bass line, and it starts the whole thing off [of an arrangement of the tune].

    MILES DAVIS: THE ROAD TO MODAL JAZZ Leonardo Camacho Bernal Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: John Murphy, Major Professor Cristina Sánchez-Conejero, Minor Professor Mark McKnight, Committee Member Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Camacho Bernal, Leonardo, Miles Davis: The Road to Modal Jazz. Master of Arts (Music), May 2007, 86 pp., 19 musical examples, references, 124 titles. The fact that Davis changed his mind radically several times throughout his life appeals to the curiosity. This thesis considers what could be one of the most important and definitive changes: the change from hard bop to modal jazz. This shift, although gradual, is best represented by and culminates in Kind of Blue, the first Davis album based on modal style, marking a clear break from hard bop. This thesis explores the motivations and reasons behind the change, and attempt to explain why it came about. The purpose of the study is to discover the reasons for the change itself as well as the reasons for the direction of the change: Why change and why modal music?
