| Jazz for aficionados My mistake Keegiam, it was Rok who liked "Say you're Mine" the best while you liked "Blues For Alvina" the best. Never the less, let us continue our pursuit of jazz fit for a connoisseur. | |
| Jazz for aficionados We're in "sync" Keegiam, "Say you're mine" was my favorite as well.I have some nice tunes by "Spyro Gyra" on my play list.From here we've got three avenues of pursuit; we can track the unknown "Jerry Dodgion" and see where that takes us, plus we ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados After one becomes a "Connoisseur" the pursuit of music becomes quite serious and methodical; it is no longer casual. To give you an example, it has been determined by consensus that "The Phantom" is one heck of a jam; therefore we dissect it and p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, you identified "Skeeter Best’s" important role on that Ray Charles, Milt Jackson album. I’m trying to find more of his music that rises to that high level, maybe you can help?Skeeter Best, a jazz guitarist who played in Earl Hines’s orchestr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Jazz At The Pawnshop" is not in my collection; either I'm not a "Connoisseur of modern jazz", or that album has been given more credit than it deserves. | |

| Jazz for aficionados It sounds good, I don't have that one. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'm having trouble finding this LP. What makes this so special is the fact that it's the ultimate "Tina Brooks" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-HKq9eNLzE | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now that you put things into perspective, I’ll see what I can do, but as you noted, after that cut, it won’t be easy Keegiam. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”Ghosthouse, the song that makes me most aware of time is "Speak Low".Speak low when you speak, loveOur summer d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, there is no way I would ever want you to have another "letdown"; I know how painful that can be; consequently, I can not risk another post. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I just received the LP "The Phantom" by Duke Pearson, and it's absolutely fantastic. Before I go on, I want to say that I'm not one of those "Digital vs Analog People". Good analog costs thousands of dollars more than digital, and is ten times m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thank you Ghosthouse for sharing that enlightening bit of truth.I have so many memories; some of them make me realize there must be a God, otherwise I wouldn't be alive.Now that I'm of that age where I can't duplicate those memories, I really appr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados PJW, I had a conversation with Grant during intermission on the sidewalk in front of the establishment where he was performing.Someone came up to me during intermission and said Grant wanted to speak to me out front.I have to tell another story in... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The last time I saw Grant Green, I was kind of embarrassed because I didn’t recognize him; this was when he was performing and pushing his "Live At The Lighthouse" album. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=live+at+the+light+house+grant+g... |
