Who was the best jazz guitarist ever?
My favorite is Burrell,like very much Grant Green and P.de Lucia,saw Paco sextet live last year,would recommend to anyone for listening.But,think no one mentioned some other great jazz players,like Tiney Grimes or Les Paul,than Herb Ellis or Tal F... 
Need advice on CD-Player
Regarding Meridian G06.2,its a nice player,very gentle,but its not balanced and it has that ugly new car stereo or pc drawer(in fact,has no drawer,which can scratch your cd in process of putting and taking your disc out)which is setbackfrom prevou... 
1950's and Early 60's recorded solo piano recordin
Try to listen Phineas Newborn jr,he is one of the greatest ever,but due to his personal problems did not achive fame and popularity he deserved 
Grant Green suggestions
Martykl,just thought to remind you of a another great but under rated guitar player that willl sure make you smile.It is Ivan 'boogallo' Joe Jones,guess you can find his albums,on amazon probably,try 'Right on'. 
Grant Green suggestions
Orpheus,gladly,no problem.In my local cd shop there are 'Face to face' and 'Stop and listen.Also just checked them on Amazon,they are obtainable there as well.Also worth of mention is Green's work with Ike quebec,soMartykl,you may look for those c... 
Grant Green's version of 'Round About Midnight
Kenny Burell recorded an album called 'Round Midnight',youwill probably like his version too. 
Grant Green suggestions
Orpheus,I am not sure if I undrestood you correctly,but if you are looking for Baby Face editions on 'blue note',here in Europe you can buy them without a problem,on cd anyway. 
Grant Green suggestions
You may look for his live albums as well,I am aware of 3 of them,and also he recorded lots of albums as a guest guitarist in that period which are worth of listening,usually with some organ player,like big john patton,or baby face willete,or with ... 
Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player

amp for sonus faber concerto domus
Had Grand piano home,together with Krell kav 400,thought it was quite good combo.Than upgraded to Cremon Auditors,whichled me to Pathos Inpol 2 amp,no comparation,in favor of latter combination.Think that Pathos works great with SF, saw more than ... 
Recommend Well-Recorded Hard Bop Jazz on CD?
Foster 9,You should check the ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS,they have just remastered and published some clasic blue note editions on hybrid sacd.Men behind that project are Steve Hofman and Kevin Gray and with Alan Yoshida from xrcd,probably ones of the b... 
Sonus Faber Concerto upgrade?
I had a SF grand piano home,moved to cremona auditor.Big step forward,aldo I was sceptical because they are smaller speakers,but I was so wrong.The stage is bigger and the presence,details and the body of instruments are beyond comparation to gran... 
Recommend Well-Recorded Hard Bop Jazz on CD?
I guess a good way to start your journey wold be to buy some very thick book of jazz,and than when you got the time browse threw recomended albums in some good cd store.Personally,its something that gives me great pleasure,specially when I travel,... 
Bryston BCD-1 impressions?
The best description would be is that I felt like someonepull down the blanket from my speakers,talking about difference between rotel and bryston.I also must say that I liked rotel,and that here in europe bcd 1 is about more than 3 times(300%)exp... 
Bryston BCD-1 impressions?
I compared bcd1 with pathos digit,and meridian G08.2,had rotel 1072 before that.I liked it more,and bought it,have not look back since.Guess its all about the personal taste and synergy with rest of the system.In MHO,it seems to me that people who...
