Mahavishnu Orchestra fans...?
Re: CAB - Coincidentally I rec'd notice today of a new Cab recording. If I got this right, Cab released 1, 2, NO(?)3, & 4. The lineup is Bunny Brunel (bassist extraordinaire!), Tony MacAlpine - gtr, Dennis Chambers, Brian Auger - Organ, & ... 
Mahavishnu Orchestra fans...?
As per usual, whenever the subject of Fusion (or just about any type of Jazz, come to think of it) comes up, everybody starts to take a walk down memory lane. I'm 55 yrs old, was fortunate enough to have seen original Mahavishnu and Return To Fore...

'they blew'em off the stage'
Again back in the day I saw Bruce Springsteen open for Winter Consort, apples to oranges, but it still was no contest. A favorite was the TRIPLE billing of the original YES (3rd), original Humble Pie (2nd), and Black Sabbath. The night before Yes ... 
Johnny Winter better than ever
I'm a huge Winter Bros. fan since the '70's. I saw them both a bunch of times back in the day. Being a fan I try to support their work to this day, Edgar's last record, 'Jazzin' The Blues' was the best thing he's done in decades! That said, I pick... 
Live Santana...
Carlos lost his creative mojo a loooong time ago, and yet, he's worth more than ever today! 
G'N'R Chinese Democracy LP
I suppose I'll get slammed for this but, and mind you I don't buy many Rock albums any more, I happen to really dig the Velvet Revolver albums! 
Jazz:swingin, groovin modern big band recordings.
Wayne Bergeron (Tpt) has released 2 stellar CD's: "Plays Well With Others" & "You Call This A Living?". The dude's been around forever, used to be Maynard Ferguson's lead trpt player (which speaks volumes if your familiar with Maynard). A real... 
modern latin tinged swingin boppin jazz....no vox
How about something new? I can't imagine ANYONE not diggin' Bobby Sanabria's 'Big Band Urban Folktales'. Let me know if you need help finding it!;) 
What is the best band ever?
I've read that the Beatles stopped touring because the hysteria was such that they couldn't hear themselves over the screaming! They'd wind up playing like shit and the fans STILL thought they'd heard a miracle. 
Favorite Telarc releases.....
Telarc's subsidiary, Head's Up, has some fantastic recordings under it's belt. 
Music Reference RM9 and Preamp Experiences
The Music Reference RM-5 Mk III (tube) preamp mated beautifully with my RM9, also has a killer Phono section. I replaced it with an Audio Research LS15 (tube) & PH3(tube) phono preamps. Cost twice as much, sounds better (not twice as good thou... 
What is the best band ever?
One of the greatest, if not THE greatest working band, in the USA; LOS LOBOS!!!!!!!!!
