| Which Nakamichi to choose? I gave a ton of cassettes away when I concluded the medium was antiquated. I'm posting to let anyone who has their deck in mothballs know that they had better drag it out and play it; those decks will quit working if not played. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, that CD (Pat Metheney) sounds as good as my best vinyl LP's. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Guswatte, here's my favorite tune with Anna Maria Jopek; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iSiPjbS8_Q | |
| Jazz for aficionados Just as I detest vocalists who scat inappropriately in order to demonstrate their virtuosity, when the story line of the song absolutely does not call for it; I'm not in love with artists who interject their "stylistics" in a fashion beyond the st... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The point was not who's playing the tune but the feel of the music, which was Cannonball's.Blame "you tube" for posting that KOB cover, that was not my point; my point was Miles version of "Love For Sale" no matter what album, was so different fro... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The "hippest" is never the most popular, which is why KOB is the most popular; it's just not as "jazzy" AKA hip as "Somethin Else". Only the true connoisseurs of jazz can make such distinctions.Miles did what sidemen do on records, he played grea... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, when you have old albums like this, there's not a lot of time for new stuff; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBw-w_jql4g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4pevIiq9As | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, I'm in precisely the same boat, but I enjoy and appreciate the sidemen on my favorite discs so much more; for example on "Somethin Else", by Cannonball, I hear Hank Jones on piano more, of course you can't miss Miles and Cannonball. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, we have so many gems in our collections that we forget to play some of them until reminded. That one sounds better with age. | |
