Jazz for aficionados Inna, that's interesting. I found McLaughlin's tone fascinating on that track. Certainly unusual, but I thought of it as an exploration of something different, not a negative. | |
Where to locate Equipment? The only audio equipment I have in my listening room are the speakers themselves. In a cabinet (with front doors that are closed when the music is playing) in an adjacent room are the turntable, pre-amp, tuner, and digital front end. The amp is ... | |

Jazz for aficionados Since I've been hanging out here, I don't recall much acknowledgment of Mr. Ron Carter, one of the greats. Listened a lot tonight:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z53ytYBJ5m4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJE38wpNvywhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?... | |
Jazz for aficionados O10, I love this one the same way. Great memories, carefree days...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxXZF60EPdM | |
Jazz for aficionados Inna, that's a captivating duet. Paco's playing is impeccable. First time I've ever seen him use a capo - I'm sure he did it often, but it's a novelty for me. I don't have the knowledge base to comment on the singer - certainly passionate and p... | |
Jazz for aficionados Alex, thanks for the link to the Rouse set. I'll check it out; I have ZERO recordings by Rouse as a leader, yet I've been listening to him for 50+ years with Monk! | |

Jazz for aficionados Alex, thanks for adding to the Charlie Rouse discussion. Great tracks, thanks.It strikes me that the sidemen on "Taking Care of Business" weren't up to Rouse's level. And Rouse really lit it up on that Dave Bailey track. | |
Jazz for aficionados Frogman, thanks for your views on Charlie Rouse. On "You Don't Know What Love Is," the Ben Webster influence is unmistakable. Beautiful piece.Interesting that the album title for the second track you posted is "Unsung Hero." That sort of sums i... | |
