| Best Rock Album in 2011 I think it's interesting to note that the recording quality of "Low Country Blues" had to have been a conscious decision on Gregg Allman's part. Therefore making a purposeful AUDIO decision about his work. I think it a mistake to think the record ... | |
| Does listening fatigue go away??? I'm curious, could someone give an exact definition of 'listener fatigue'? There's been times where I'm not as 'into' listening to the system as usual. I've found simply not turning it on for a few days cures that symptom. The stuff you guys are d... | |
| Miles Davis Newbe Question WOW! Last night I'm cruisin' Netflix and found 'Miles Davis: Cool Jazz Sound'. A film described as feat. Miles and his classic quintet: Coltrane, Cobb, Kelly, & Chambers. Imagine my surprise to find that it's actually that band PLUS Gil Evans ... | |
| Brad Mehldau IMO, one of his finest performances, ever, was on Michael Brecker's last recording; 'Pilgrimage'. | |
| Rediscovering Cold Blood They are a smokin' unit, ain't they!? Their prior record is 'Live' and is killa also, allowing more room for soloing. The story behind this band is that they're made up primarily of pro musicians playing the strip in Vegas. They've 'held court' at... | |
| Carlos Santana - designer of women’s shoes? Santana's company has been making shoes for years. They actually are very hot. Bought my galpal a pair 3-incher's. There's just something magical about the relationship between a nice set of heels and a gal's butt!;) | |

| Which Harbeth? "+1 for Skylan stands....-1 for Sound Anchors..."I use Sound Anchors with my Spendor S100's. They positively spanked the stands originally provided with the speakers. Sure would like to hear more about the Skylan's vs. the SA's! | |
| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever OK, I appreciate the white flag. Plz understand, it's not WHAT you say, but HOW you say it that disturbs me. You don't care for Coltrane? Fine, not everybody does. You like Wynton? Great! So do I. As a Jazz-lover I worry about the kind of statemen... | |
| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever "I suspect people 'like' coltrane because it's the cool thing to do.""I do know that he is JAZZ at this point in the history of the music"I've gotta hand it to you, at least you're consistent! It's so obvious that you have NO CLUE as to what you'r... | |
| Rediscovering Cold Blood Big Cold Blood fan here although I wouldn't compare Lydia Pense to Janis Joplin. I never thought Janis (bless her heart) had such a great voice whereas Lydia....Rummaging thru a used CD store a few yrs ago I came across a NEW (2005) Cold Blood rec... | |
| Best Live Album Ever... +1 on J.Geils Band. I remember the pal that turned me onto the 1st record saying, as he dropped the needle on the groove, "it's a mellow(!) rock'n'roll record". After the 1st coupla tunes I told him; "it's mellow 'cause you've got the volume turne... | |
