Tablejockey, I appreciate your honesty; when I strike out, let me know it. Nobody was pleased by my "Rubiyat" post and it wasn't new to anyone.(Thinking out loud), trying for a new direction, I will not go for the best. Maybe good stuff by the b...

Frogman, I was just thinking what you posted; Alex posts those forgotten musicians, while I have been posting the best, which any aficionado should already have in his collection. But that was for the benefit of people viewing this thread who wer...

Tablejockey, the name didn't ring a bell, but I like what I'm hearing on this album.          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlb54WO_PhA&t=22sI just down loaded an LP that's only on LP.      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kxuAZictJ4    htt...

Steve Kahn is a name I've heard before; I'm sure he's on some of my records, not classic jazz for sure.Tablejockey, when I hear a relatively new name that sounds interesting, I like to follow it up and see what else he has that we might like. Whe...

I'm sure LA still has a thriving jazz scene. St. Louis is "Style and profile", if you want to go to a swanky club to see and be seen we have them. Although the music is right up to date, apparently I'm not, because I could live without it.After ...

You are quite welcome Tablejockey.Since we are discussing two guitarists, let me throw in another "jazz guitarist" to put what I know into perspective. Before Grant Green went to "Blue Note", he was on the St. Louis local scene. The place where ...

"Smooth Jazz", not smooth jazz, George Benson is one cool dude; he ain't no Kenny G.. There is a reason this thread is named "Jazz for Aficionados", and you just hit upon it.      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox1Bu1HECQEEnjoy the music.

Any day is a good day for new "Aficionados", but Fathers Day is better than most for me; it's a day where I have confirmed an especially important friendship, the one with my son, who gave me an especially funny card that I will share with you, bu...

Pryso, I select a "play list" from my "hard drive" and listen to that; almost my entire collection is on the computer drive.Occasionally I tune in to FM jazz. We listen to the same time period; that's because we started listening to jazz at about...

Schubert, there will always be new musicians blowing different tunes; just not the ones we like.Tablejockey, do you get separate albums by those guys, or just listen to them more intently on the albums they're already on?

Once upon a time I had to live where everything was happening, but now I live where you can hear the grass grow, and I like it.I have tried streaming jazz stations online and enjoyed the wide variety.When it comes to music, I'm mostly into "classi...

Tablejockey, you should count yourself blessed to appreciate the music of "Billy Holiday"; not everyone can, she puts her heart and soul on display.Some people THINK this music we love is "objectively good", but it's not; some hear it, and some do...

Time is a limited commodity in this hobby. One has to focus on how to best spend it for their maximum enjoyment.Now that I have perfected the archiving process, each minute detail is presented, and I have to do everything all over again after I m...
