| You got to show me something more! No, I've not heard of Scriabin or Messiaen. Thanks, I'll do some investigating. Any specific suggestions of recordings to start with? You saw Evans live at the Vanguard!? Man...What I'd have given to have had that opportunity! There's a story goi... | |

| Are you Guys Rich or What!? As Danny DeVito says, use "other peoples money." Over 4.5 years I've been able to build a fairly decent system of components at no cost to me. How, you ask? Simple. Buy a piece here, resell it, buy another, etc. There are a number of good buys at... | |

| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! "Coltrane: You have now become the mind reader you recently accused Dekay of being. My agreement with the "live and let live" posts refers to people listening to what they want because they enjoy it." We are in total agreement here. I fail to unde... | |

| You got to show me something more! "Learning about jazz On a long thread last month regarding jazz recordings, I made a number of posts. Rather than try to recap my comments, let me quickly offer than I have been an avid jazz enthusiast since high school (late 1950's), and have tau... | |
