| Jazz for aficionados Nice to hear from you, Learsfool; and thanks for the kind words. Hope all is well with you. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Good memory, Chris. This was my post from 4+ (!) years ago:++++ I have constructed an I beam (balsa wood) that uses a leaf spring from one of the regular ET I beams which allows me to to move the counterweights up to 6 inches from the spindle; alt... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Have always loved Patti LaBelle. Great singer and voice! That song always takes me back to High School and my summer job at a local grocery store and how the woman in the deli section would always sing that song when I was around. I was pretty sur... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I never did like the term "jazz-jazz" and often thought to write about my objection to it, but didn’t so as not to "stir the pot" of contention. The term suggests that music from said time period is the only true jazz; obviously not so. **** in hi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ok, so this may come across as suspect; but, here goes. In my comments about O-10's David Weiss clip I was going to make the point that the composition sounded like something Wayne Shorter would write. Finally having a moment to write I noticed ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, if history is any indication I have much reason to be suspicious of your desire for a "truce". Ultimately, not much to lose except a few minutes of typing and, as always and contrary to assertions elsewhere, I hope I am wrong. "The Final C... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As usual, in the absence of a sound argument, ridicule becomes the fallback position. The shame in all of this absurdity is that, because of an inability to accept and deal with one's limitations, the real greatness, complexity and depth of this ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** not just Black, but the most unique race of people to ever exist on planet earth ****Now, if that isn't racist I don't know what is. The crazy thing is, O-10, you then go on to support everything that you argued against for the last several ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the proof, Acman3 😉. Great tune!Btw, thanks for those Carlos Oliva clips. You have no idea what a warm blast from the past those were. I worked with Carlos Oliva during my Miami college days when he produced/directed a couple of the ear... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I posted some (not the overproduced stuff) Trombone Shorty about two years ago. This narrow-minded "Aficionado" will gladly offer some thoughts if the "O-10 Exclusivity Restriction" is lifted 😉 | |

| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, very nice clip! Great electric bass player with a sound clearly traceable back to the Jaco revolution. A little research showed that my initial hunch was correct about the guitar player on that cut. Frank Gambale is probably my favo... | |

| Jazz for aficionados You guys can go ahead and keep living in your fantasy worlds as concerns the history of this music; too bad. Now, to some of the more personal stuff; and, I bring this up only to point out how convoluted and disingenuous your chains of thought and... | |
