I was in London about fifteen years ago and there was a court case in the news at the time where an apartment resident ... | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? Terry Bradshaw, former Pittsburgh Steelers QB and current TV personality actually had the brass to cut a record about 25 years ago. Yoi!!! | |
| How isolated is your hi-fi? I guess I can see it both ways. For example: At the moment I'm trying to read all of these responses while listening to a great Roy Eldridge record. Simultaneously I'm being peppered with questions about appropriate cooking times for a chicken....... | |
| Name your favorite sax solo. Good stuff here folks! | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings There is a three CD set of Thelonius Monk on Black Lion that was recorded in the early 70s. I believe one of the discs is solo piano and the recording is exceptional. | |
| Music Recommendations If you want something of moderate scale that is offbeat, but very listenable try Stravinsky's Octet for Wind Instruments and the Ebony Concierto. Not at all obnoxiouos like the Firebird Suite. I've go them on the Netherlands Wind Ensemble Greatest... |
