| Best Tchaikovsky’s 6th Symphony Recording Mavrinsky/Leningrad Philharmonic (DG 1960). Hair raising performance. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rach “Vespers”. I don’t think glorious is an overstatement. No doubt the human voice is the greatest instrument. Beautiful singing and insight into the music. Gorgeous solo alto and remarkable resonance from the bass for a “from the bottom up... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I’ll take Bach, Brahms or Schubert anytime as well. Still, time and a place for all. Well, not all.....Those people who should know don’t know. A myth that has been debunked many times. The myth started because they did, in fact, not start wri... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, great drummer! Nice clip. Boy does that bring back memories. Title tune from his debut studio recording. Thanks! Billy Cobham is dear to me because, aside from being a great drummer, this record introduced me to the great Michael Brecker wh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Beautiful! Not much Barrueco can’t play, indeed. To be fair, I’m not crazy about some of the other cuts on this record (I suspect I know what you would say) but he nails “Michelle”:https://youtu.be/iXICu7fbTnA | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, you will always be top dog.Happy New Year! | |
| Jazz for aficionados I like that record a lot. Yes, different, but still Horace Silver all the way. Very melodic with Silver’s typically funky grooves. Different for a couple of important reasons. David Friedman on vibes. Different sound for Silver. Not just because o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, I like “Red Clay”. I have always had mixed feelings about most (not all) CTI recordings. Red Clay is one that I like a lot ....with some relatively minor reservations. You asked for my take:It stays closer to the vibe of the classic hard bop ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados More favorite Freddie Hubbard:(Shorter, McCoy, Art Davis, Elvin Jones):https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0q2VleZJVElZiXuwHka3uCm94qHZsmaA(Shorter, Herbie, Carter, Elvin):https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0q2VleZJVEnx5kQDEe7kzLdlJ5PFWfrG | |
| Jazz for aficionados I love Freddie Hubbard and I think that is an apt comparison to Fisher. Because of the recent focus on Herbie Hancock I was going to post this record. Amazing debut recording from Herbie with some stellar playing by Freddie Hubbard: https://www.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Killer Lee Morgan! Thanks for the reboot. |
