| Jazz for aficionados O-10 once posted this recent version by the Mingus “tribute” Big Band thinking it was the original version which I posted above. The original version features Pepper Adams on baritone. The tribute big band version features Ronnie Cuber on barito... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another of O-10’s faves…..the true original version this time. Pepper, not Ronnie, O-10! 😊. You out there, O-10? | |
| VPI HW-19 with Graham 1.5 arm Question/Suggestions Btw, I have no personal experience with the newer ADS motor controller, but it has not received as much positive commentary as the SDS which I like very much. There are other brands that are well regarded that work with the HW. Lastly, when did yo... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Doesn’t hold a candle to KOB. ☺️ | |
| Jazz for aficionados Maybe it’s me. Interaction on an Internet forum is necessarily very limited and the anonymity that is part of it all changes all the usual “rules” of human interaction. In spite of all that I find it odd, even a little disappointing, that O-10’s ... | |
