| I HATE the song Salt Peanuts Isn't 'Salt Peanuts' Dizzy's ode to weed? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdehtaWCQs0&feature=player_detailpageRegardless, here's the latest (and one of the greatest!) versions. I'd say that one of the most neccesary tools for Jazz appreciation... | |
| Which headphones?? Sennheiser HD600! I'd suggest you actually try to listening to the 600 vs. the 650 as I've read many opinions favoring the classic 600. The 600's one of those rare audio products that get's it SO right it's considered a classic! Might save you $10... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "....but they did not practice..."Orpheus, am I understanding you correctly? Are you saying Jazz musicians don't practice, or just this group of guys you know personally? 'Cause I'm sure you know there are Jazz musicians that practice to the point... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I truly appreciate the thoughtful responses about PDR as they've honestly provided food for thought. I've never thought about the comparison between PDR and Wynton Marsalis. While I understand the basis of the comparison, I'd say that a primary di... | |
| Jazz for aficionados OK, here goes:Reunion - One of the best Latin Jazz records ever! The reunion is between him and his bandmate from the great Cuban band, Irakere, Arturo Sandoval. D'Rivera had defected years prior to this but Sandoval had just made the leap. It's a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Re: Paquito D'Rivera's 'Portraits of Cuba', I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with Rok2id's opinion of the record. PDR is one of my favorite musician's of all time, been an avid fan for over 3 decades and own over 90% of his catalog whic... | |
| Hi end audio stores in Miami, Ft lauderdale area? The driving? Or the stores? I've been curious about how you would be received at the various stores, seeing as it sounds like you're just looking and not buying. The audio shops have a generally well-deserved reputation for being unwelcoming (to p... | |
| Sound bar Zvox 555 all the way!! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, trying to have a discussion with R2id is truly an exercise in futility! This guy believes that what he THINKS is actually FACT. He's the type of guy who loves hearing himself talk. He doesn't allow for the possibility that he may be mista... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, asere molina! I thought I was the only hispanic (PR) hangin' around here! Well, this opens up a WHOLE new area for exploration!;) Latin Jazz is my favorite genre and IMO Cuba always was, and remains, the primary source for cutting edge mu... | |
| Trip to NYC, What to do Even if yr not a fan of Brazilian music, if you feel like having a great time, check out SOB's (Sounds Of Brazil). I took my Georgia born'n'bred southern belle galpal (country gal thru and thru!) and she had a great time. Whether you go to eat, dr... | |
| Johnny Winter Bootleg Series? I was SUCH a huge JW fan back in the day. From his 1st records thru his 'Johnny Winter And' days and for a few records beyond this period. IMO 'JW And' featuring Rick Derringer were only sightly bested in the dual gtr bands by the Allmans featurin... | |

| Audio Equipment... the word Cool... and Life Computer audio = modern coolAnalog (turntable) = truly endless cool!;)I remember how cool I used to think audio gear was when I'd see it featured in the pages of Playboy during the 60's. Haven't picked up an issue in quite a while, I'd imagine the... | |
| Harbeth 40.1 vs spendor sp100r2 I also own a pair of S100's fed by my Music Reference 100W RM9 tube amp. I'm chiming in due to something I read recently that struck me as odd. I joined a Spendor chat group a few months ago. The son of Spendor creator; Spencer, posts there freque... |
