i have quite a dilemna. bought big house which is pre-wired for sound in every room, w. 8" ceiling holes cut. i didnt budget for a 'sound system' and will have my real stereo in one room, but two teens insist on a system.

Martial Solal at the Vanguard

Martial Solal at the Vanguard

Oct 09, 2007

Martial Solal starts a week of solo piano at the Village Vanguard tonight, and that’s a double eye-opener. It’s only the second time in its 72-year history that the club has featured a pianist playing solo. (The first, Fred Hersch, was in 2006.) More striking, it marks just the third time since 1963 that Martial Solal has played in New York City under any circumstances. The last time was four years ago at the Iridium, with his trio and saxophonist Lee Konitz, and it was a marvel, the fleetest and most lyrical I’d seen Konitz play in years. The time before that, just with his trio, was at the Vanguard—but the shows were in mid-September 2001, a couple weeks after the attacks of 9/11; few ventured into lower Manhattan for anything, much less to see an obscure French jazz pianist. Luckily, the sessions were recorded; Blue Note put out a CD of highlights called <I>NY-1</I>; finally, we could all hear the music behind the legend.

Brian Eno: Technology as a Tool

Yesterday's <I>New York Times</I> had a review of Robert Wyatt's new <I>Comicopera</I> by <A HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/08/arts/music/08choi.html?_r=1&n=Top%2fR… Ratliff</A> that observed that it included "Brian Eno doing whatever it is that Brian Eno does." That sums up Squelchy's role about as well as it can be done.

Because of the astonishing effect of my new power conditioner, I've come to realize that clean AC might actually be important after all. Imagine that.

I just started working in the post-anesthesia care unit in the Cardiovascular Center here in Ann Arbor, where I'm surrounded by hospital grade electrical components (duh). In light of my recent power epiphany and medical musing, I've decided to welcome some green dots into my home.

(Possibly Phillips) Pyramid Stereo Sound System?

Hello stereophile commuters,

This is my first post on here and I'd just like to first say Hello to everyone here. Well, my question is concerning this stereo system I saw not too long ago at a party. This stereo was literally in the form of a pyramid, or at least in the form of a triangle. The front casing was transparant, so you can see the cd spinning from within. It kind of looked like it was Phillips in origin, but I cannot be exactly sure. Has anyone seen one of these stereos? I would really like to know where I can purchase one. Thanks,

Ellis
