On the heels of the Yamamoto/Peacock recording, I noticed a link to pianist Eitetsu Hayashi's version of "Bolero," live, 1999.Maybe the most intense duet I've ever seen.  Drums and keyboards in spades.  Yikes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvyH...

Lovely, mysterious, beautiful, haunting & sometimes cookin' - even at 50 years old.From Japan with Gary Peacock, recorded in 1970.  Special kudos to pianist Masabumi Kikuchi, and Hozan's flute is as mesmerizing as Yusef Lateef.Hozan Yamamoto:...

YT delivered a link to this wonderful Chet Baker/Paul Desmond compilation.  Both deliver their sumptuous tone for almost an hour.Note some of the sidemen: Ron Carter (all), Tony Williams (3 tracks), Kenny Barron (3 tracks).  On the downside, Bob J...

Rok, with this Hampton Hawes set, you've outdone yourself again.  More budgeting for record purchases. 
For all you Vinyl lovers!
Enjoyable post Tony.  Nail on the head.My hunch as to why I find vinyl so natural and smooth is that, fortunately, many years ago, someone invented the technology to turn sound into a physical groove on a "record" (they didn't even use vinyl until...

@mrpgray Only your 2nd post, cool - I agree 100%.  Intense listening to high-end music reproduction is not a hobby many share.  I've had very few friends that are really into it.  For me it's a thrilling experience I usually enjoy alone.  That's f...

1.25 to 1.5 sounds light to me.  What cartridge is it, and what is the recommended tracking force?

The plot thickens.  It should be no surprise the influence I heard in "Speed Trap" is Monk.  Now I learn Barron had a group with Charlie Rouse in the 80's.  Thanks for the article link Frogman.  JFA has made me feel like a music school student the...

Nice Barron tracks, thanks Frogman.  When I began listening the "Speed Trap," it seemed unmistakable that I was hearing the influence of one of the greats he probably revered as he was coming up.  Then the second track - same effect, but now I was...

Frogman, two of my most cherished pieces by that unmatched Miles Davis quintet.  Significant Wayne Shorter influence, as it should be.  Herbie displays his genius as well."Nefertiti"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu0IfC_IUaA"Pinnochio"https://www...

This is for Rok, who I think is a fan of Carlos Santana.  Over the last 48 years, I may have played this more than "Abraxas."Santana: "Caravanserai" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS67o4npBuE

ghosthouse, I checked out this version of "Blues for Tony."  Nice groove - very intense piece.  I found the drummer and keyboard player more enjoyable than Holdsworth.  Holdsworth strikes me the same way Di Meola does - lightning fast, technically...

This a compilation of performances by the Tony Williams quintet 1986-1991.  It is 3 hours long, and I'm only a half hour in, but Herbie Hancock is blowing me away.For me Tony Williams was the most musical drummer ever.  I know that's vague, but he...
