O-10, yeah, yeah; but, nope, I don’t think so. As always, "Mars and Venus"; too bad.  Btw, kindly explain (with example) where I "took that opportunity to blame those two comments for the fact that it hasn't rained new contributors to this thread"...

**** The notion / sense, that Jazz must 'progress' or 'Improve' or move on to something Mo' Better is the major problem. It is only in the Jazz genre that we have this situation. ****Always hated the term "progressive" as used in political circ...

**** you have no idea how sad current music is ****Imo, the only sad thing is how this thread has managed, for three or four years, to return over and over again to the same tired themes that are competely off the wall and not based on the reality...

**** I put that on the proper forum ****O-10, if you don't mind my asking, how is the "ANALOG" forum the proper forum?  Very little of the discussion in the clip is about analog.  Perhaps "MISC AUDIO" would have been a more appropriate forum and w...

A little catching up:Excellent Brad Mehldau suggestion, Dave. Beautiful record and I’m glad to see Mehldau get some love here. The last time his music was posted he received undeserved lukewarm response; I think it was around his "My Favorite Thin...

Acman3, very interesting and fitting that you should mention both Max Roach and Jaco.  As far as their contributions to the way their respective instruments are played and their role in an ensemble, one can say a lot of the same things about both ...
