| Jazz trombone anyone? Bob Brookmeyer (a valve trombonist) put our some great stuff including an album with Stan Getz. I also highly recommend any of the J.J. Johnson/Kai Winding colaborations. | |
| Looking to upgrade I agree with Teslaroadsters, changing your speakers will make the biggest difference. Try to match them all, or at least the same series (where usually the only difference is the size of the woofers). | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Anyone thinking about getting an SACD player..., do it! An SACD and decent SACD player does sound better than a Red Book CD and decent player.In fact, there's quite a few SACDs that are two and three channel. You get to hear the highly regarded RC... | |
| Beatles Love, should I run? Buy it.... with the admirable remastering job, the Beatles have never sounded better. It does have a nice flow to it as well. | |
| Music out there with good bass A lot of the Alligator Records blues artists have very well recorded bass. Also the Stevie Ray Vaughan studio albums. | |
| What is your most beautiful component? Actually it's my vintage early 60's Heathkit/Daystrom AA-151 tube amp and matching AJ-11 tuner. Burnt orange cabinet and a charcoal with black horizontal pinstripes faceplate, and a cool chrome visor (physically in mint condition). Also has the vi... | |
| New music, what, why etc... I just picked up Jethro Tull's "Aqualung Live". A couple of years ago XM Radio did a series of classic rock albums re-recorded by the bands live. Very good sound quality. These were limited editions, with profits going to the homeless. A lot of 70... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? I believe Wagner is coming out of the left speaker for those concerts, and Hunter from the right. Which would have Wagner playing the solo right before Lou starts singing on Sweet Jane.If you don't have the "Lou Reed Live" album, by all means try ... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Yes, he was with The Frost. | |
| Looking for Jazz emsembles with a guitar flair Grant Green did a ton of varied stuff in the 60's.There's some great guitar work on Miles Davis' Jazz Fusion era (late 60's with John McGlaughlin - Bitches Brew, and Tribute to Jack Johnson.) | |

| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Hendrix of course. Dick Wagner(who worked with Alice Cooper, and was on the mid 70's Lou Reed Live albums with another great guitarist Steve Hunter). Robin Trower would also be close to the top of my list. |
