Bodhisattva Incorrect. Horace’s father was from the island of Maio, in Cape Verde. Hence why Horace penned the album, “Cape Verdean Blues”. The language spoken there is Portuguese, but he’s not from Portugal.
Its Sunday evening for me and I feel like talking Jazz. Wow, Ken, you have uploaded a lot of videos. I didn't know there was so much going on in your world of Jazz. Let's start with this video and see how many I can watch today. I think what I will do is dig out some music and see if I have the same music. *Julian "Cannonball" Adderley - Mercy, Mercy, Mercy* (slow Jam) I have 3 Cannonball albums an old album "The Cannonball Adderley Collection on HMV Jazz "Deep Grove The best of Cannonball Adderley" On Blue Note "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" is track 5 on this album a Good choice. "Games" is track 8. Track 1 is an amazing live version of "Walk Tall" "Somethin' Else" The Miles Davis album that has Cannonball's name on the album cover. *Herbie Hancock - The Rocket!* This was Herbie's only hit tune in Great Britan unless you count US3 "Cantaloop" A remix of a Herbie tune with a rap on it. I don't rate the tune at all it sounds like a rehash of Harold Faltermeyer "Axel F" Herbie does Hip Hop. I really don't like this piece of music at all. *Horace Silver - Song for my Father* - A Jazz Classic. I have it on a compellation album. I like it not a big Horace fan. - ruclips.net/video/uq8VS7aKeqE/видео.html (Blue Note 75 Years) I love this I will watch part 2 right now. Thank you for making this Ken.
I'm sure you don't remember but I bought those DeVore Gibbon Super 8 speakers from you that you mentioned . You were kind enough to help me get them down the stairs from your apartment in the Village. As it turned out the speakers weren't a good fit for me. I like the O/93 much better, though I can't afford them and don't have the room.
Would you recommend any of his speakers for nearfield? My room is not very large so I sit only 10 feet from the rear wall and about seven feet from the front of my speakers. I heard your speakers and I like what I hear.
I feel with Rock It, Hancock was taking a chance and reinventing himself, much like his former boss, Miles Davis. Miles just like Prince made music for themselves if you got it you did if you didn’t neither one of them cared. That title track from Hancock was used big in hip hop circles, but I agree with John it was blah... Song for my father is a nice album, but in my opinion not better than the Steely Dan album at all, they are both great but immensely different. Good job here Ken and I hope you get more people from the industry to do this.
I’ve known John for 20 years, but I love this side of him! Can’t wait to see the rest of this series.
Steve!
Awesome! Loved the B-roll and taking us around Brooklyn. John is definitely a guy I could hang with.
Paul!
Holy sheeeit, that EMT!!!!! Great interview Ken, can't wait for part 2-
Fully variable phono EQ! Even the McIntosh C8-S couldn't do that without its tone controls.
Excellent! Love the surrounding scenery too.
This is great! Need part 2 now! :)
Just played Cannonball's "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy". What a lovely sound to come from your first record!
Love this series. BTW Song For MyFather, the alternate title is in Portuguese, not Spanish. Horace Silver’s father was Portuguese.

@@DefenestrateYourself Independece of Cabo Verde from Portugal, was in 1975, the record was realesed in 1964, so....is a portuguese record.
More, please! I too have a Nice Price pressing of Headhunters. And for Pete's sake give Lulubear some Friskies...
My 0/93s are breaking in nicely. Although I was on the fence, in hindsight the decision was a no-brainer.
Great video

Sorry you didn't care for the S8s. I too prefer the 93s. Try some Harbeths perhaps...
...Great interview...love the info. What is the name of the tune playing at the end of this video..?
Interesting 🎶👍
Lulubear :) killer video .
Great Video Ken!!

yeh the great Harvey Mason@👍🏻🥁
Nice one!
Love your videos! Your voice is so similar to Alan Alda`s
Excellent
emt jpa-66 i don't even dream of it. hell of a gear.
If I ever going to test DeVore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 Loudspeaker, I promise to do it with A LOT of "kind of weird" fusion...
doriarama whatever that means
@@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455 Don't worry, others will understand.
Lulubear is a very cute Cat 🐈 ❤️
I actually like Rockit & Future Shock more than Head Hunters so we all have very different taste in music.

Hancock was/is overrated, esoteric trash. Noise, really. Hancock is a reason to remind you to not fall into the audiophool pool.
