Frogman - Glad you liked the Ahmad Jamal clips and doubly so as they are new to you.  Both are from his album, The Awakening (as you no doubt saw).  A recording well worth owning.  Rok - thanks for that glimpse of Sharon Jones.  I saw a few commen...

Found both Roots in the Sky and Out of the Woods on Tidal and saved them to Favorites. My initial impression is both are more polished and better realized than Winter Light or Distant Hills. Yes, O...sonics on these (Yellow Bell playing now) are v...

Oregon "...managed to combine truly deep musical substance and creativity with just the right amount of "New Age" sound while avoiding the (to me) triteness and "lite" quality of most New Age music."Great observations, Frogman. PLUS, Oregon had th...

Ha, O. - Yup. As I said liking The Bright Mississippi surprised me too. But that is just some great music - jazz or otherwise.I will check out your Ancient Future links. That name definitely rings a bell. Pretty certain John Schaefer played them o...

That’s a good memory for you, O. I’m guessing you have 10 years on me based on the music you were listening to and your description of the juke boxes. By my time I’m guessing it was all solid state in the NJ diners. They’d have these table top ter...

PS - Further unsolicited comments...I thought Frogman’s 4:50 & 9:18 PM posts from 11/16 well-reasoned, and moderate in tone. Very good job expressing views I share. Classical music didn’t end at the start of the 20th century even though a work...

O - I listened to Tabackin’s "Pyramid" that you had posted. Also spent time with "Jazz at the Castle"...a live recording of the Lew Tabackin Quartet. This features him mainly on tenor sax but does include one piece of his flute music, "Return of P...

Only if you can complete the trifecta by including escargot, O.

O - haven’t checked out the Lew Tabackin yet, but I will. I’m with you on acquired taste - mostly. Sometimes, though, people you respect make recommendations...food, drink, music, books, whatever and it’s worth investing a little extra time in som...

Best car audio, Burmester? highly disapointed
"Unfortunately like all Audi's I've been in they all suffer from so much road noise you don't really think it's worth it. "Off topic but wow, Eric.  I'm really surprised to read that.  I've lost count of the A4s I've leased and owned over the last...
